Ed,

"In the meantime, hold onto your rights for the next 25 years because the Supreme Court may become radical in interpreting the constitution. Rights of the accused, limits on the power of the executive branch, separation of church and state; remember when those were jealously guarded by the courts?"

The Supreme Court became radical in interpreting (inventing) rights that never existed in the constitution and never were voted into existence by a single legislative body. Now you are worried about a strict constructionist court (if we get one) becoming "radical"? This is truly twisting the language.

However, after 40 years of the Dems being perfectly happy with their federal judges, their Supreme Court justices inventing law, finding it in "penumbra", you now suddenly don't like the idea of judges "interpreting" things according to their politics?

Tell it to the Tribe (the Larry Tribe, that is). If it does happen, the scene was set on the Dems/liberals watch. (Wait, is it using a label to call those justices liberal? Are they liberal on some stuff and conservative on others? I seem to remember this bogus labelling idea a while back.)
