Appearances are more important than reality.

To a conservative like you it appears the liberals manipulated.

To a liberal it appears the conservatives manipulated.

I have heard, I have read, I have seen, tit for tat, insult for insult.

As a conservative, your opinion is predictable.

Americans looked to the Supreme Court to be above the fray, to be larger than the foibles of our selves.

They were not. The Court was just as petty as you are, I am, we are. Americans hoped for, and needed something larger, something that "looked" fair. We did not get it.
