If I hear much more conservative ranting about judges who legislate from the bench, I may scream. First off, the ranters don't have any problem with judges like Roy Moore legislating from the bench. Far-right legislation from the bench is no problem for them. Which means they are hypocrites, at best.
And second, the ranters also don't have the slightest problem with senators and representatives adjudicating from Congress — as long as it's far-right adjudication, as in the Terri Schiavo fiasco. Poverty, hunger, miseducation, soaring health costs, injustice, torture? The only conceivable answer is another tax cut for the already wealthy!
With two of our three branches of government safely under the thumbs of "fair and balanced" non-partisans like Karl Rove and Grover Nordquist, and with the remaining third already about halfway under the neocons' thumbs, I think we can safely say that democracy is dead in the United States. All hail Emperor Cheney!
