Schtackink Da Courts
In between running errands for the bride (Honey, will you go put gas in my car?), getting some billings out to insurance companies for treatment of their clients and posting about the brouhaha at TNR, it's been a slow day for yours truly. Well, not THAT slow. But, as I wind down the day, I'm struck by the utter stupidity of one Jean Edward Smith who believes that the current court is lacking in its duty and should be stacked because it is a time honored tradition when the Supreme Court gets... well, you know... (uppity) ... and well, you know, doesn't do its liberal master's bidding... shhh, don't say that out loud... we don't want the libs/progressives to know that we know. Now, just because it hasn't been changed in ohhhh, about 130 years or so doesn't seem to matter to Boss Smith. Nope, 'cause it is used all the time to correct an uppity court. As Smith says:
If the current five-man majority persists in thumbing its nose at popular values, the election of a Democratic president and Congress could provide a corrective. It requires only a majority vote in both houses to add a justice or two.I don't seem to recall any conservative pundit with a conservative majority in both houses demanding the upholding of popular values when a more liberal court decided against them. And I don't really understand that, afterall, stacking is such a popular and well used tactic.
Well, Mr. Smith, I have the perfect solution. I've decided to do away with all of the rif-raff and just get down to a court that I'm sure you could approve of. Lets get the Senate Judiciary folk to fast track it and get-er-done.
Here is a court that I'm sure Mr. Smith would be willing to live with. It has a conservative on it, a black man, a decidely liberal woman, an alcoholic, a mealy mouthed Republican (or two). In fact, I think it is likely to be the perfect court. And if we can figure out how to keep them all alive, why, we won't have to worry about popular values ever being opposed again.

1. They really are the majority
2. Well, a majority of thinking people anyway
3. They are only being kept down by chicanery
4. Therefore whatever they need to do is justified

Funny that you mentioned keeping them all alive. Today, Justice Roberts had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital for falling, possibly due to a seizure. I am absolutely certain that liberals across the land were rejoicing and hoping that he had died. After all, it would be for the "overall good."
I like AVI's #4, which I call situational ethics. Everything is okay for a leftist, since they can use whatever is necessary, illegal or immoral, to forward their agendas, and they can do it since they have no moral values.
