I like to leave politics to other blogs, but I did note these strong words about the federal judiciary spoken yesterday from our favorite cranky old guy:
“With a presumption that would have amazed the framers of our Constitution, and legal reasoning that would have mystified them, federal judges today issue rulings and opinions on policy questions that should be decided democratically. Assured of lifetime tenures, these judges show little regard for the authority of the president, the Congress and the states. They display even less interest in the will of the people.”
That's right - who cares about the will of the people? "Get over it. It's so old by now!"

John McCain, Republican idiot!
Wake up Johnny. While you were nodding off Justice Roberts concluded that you have to sue for wage discrimination within 90 days of getting your first unfair pay check.
Then Justice Scalia wrote away the entirety of state tort law on medical devices, centralizing all safety questions before a corrupt and shrunken FDA.
Which activist judges were you referring to?
It's 180 days and Justice Scalito, but the point is valid.
Glenn Greenwald lays waste to McCain's "unchecked executive power good, judiciary bad" argument here--
