JLA, re>Elect Dubya!!< From today's WSJ Notable and Quotable... Stuart Taylor in National Journal: If Al Gore wins the election and Rehnquist or O'Connor retires, or if George W. Bush wins and Stevens or O'Connor retires, the new President would be presented with an opportunity to engineer the kind of sharp shift in the Court's balance that President Reagan attempted in 1987 when he nominated then-Judge Robert H. Bork to replace the moderate Lewis F. Powell Jr. A one-vote swing to the liberal side would change the law most dramatically. A liberal Gore appointee replacing a conservative could help entrench race and gender preferences and abortion rights for decades to come; doom tuition vouchers and other government aid to private and religious schools; and join the four who have openly suggested that if they get a fifth vote, they will deep-six Rehnquist's pet project: the line of 5-4 federalism rulings since 1992 that have curbed the federal government's powers to regulate either the states or matters traditionally within their domain. ****************************************************** Bold added by me to emphasize why I keep saying...
