Carl, you got to admit, so far any of the sides attacking any courts, and some of them quite harshly, are Bush "surrogates" (I heard Bush disagreeing with the first FSC decision, taking the position that "they made law", but he never called them "artisan hacks as have some of our more vociferous Rep congressmen.). Gore and its surrogate, said they disagreed with some courts (and thus appealed where they could), but I just heard Boies comparing Stevens and Scalia recent decision on the stay, and while Boies said he agreed with Stevens and not Scalia, he never said Scalia was wrong, he was very careful to state that both positions can very rational judgments. So far, you must admit that the Dems are taking the "higher road. Baker comments and recent Orin Hatch commentaries (he came out with a scathing condemnation of the FSC without even reading their 70 pages opinion)were spiteful of the courts and i think that they are seeding dangerous seeds of disrespect for the court system. If that continues, I agree with you that it could lead to shaking of the three legs foundations of our form of government.
