“I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book. It is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives,” said the President, as he contemplates Judge Souter’s replacement.
Yes, I am looking forward to that. I’ve been getting the feeling, more and more, as I am sure many people have, that Congress no longer cares “about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives.” It is past time that the Supreme Court should shoulder that burden. This whole thing about voting and elections, when everyone knows that the majority of the people have no idea what’s right and what is not.
“The People” don’t even believe, along with Miss California, and the President of the United States, and the voters of California, that two men ought to be able to marry one another. That is so backward! Thank God that we have the Supreme Court to overrule all of these silly, so-called democratic institutions.
In the future, perhaps we can dispense with all this messy legislation and just have SCOTUS decide what is best. Everything would be so much better if we didn’t have to take into account all those yahoos who have never heard of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, but who would, unfortunately, agree with them if they had ever heard of them.
