Judge Birch is right, but he should not be such a lonely voice. The founders established a system of government in which the three branches - legislative, executive and judicial - act as checks and balances for one another. Republicans in Congress and the Bush administration, unhappy with some rulings of the judiciary, are trying to write it out of its constitutional role. The courts will not always be popular; they will not even always be right. But if Congress succeeds in curtailing the judiciary's ability to act as a check on the other two branches, the nation will be far less free. This issue runs right into the article by P. Krugman that you posted. The judges are making their rulings based on the Constitution. The GOP doesn't like those rulings. In fact, they have not liked the judiciary's rulings for years now. Hence, they want to change the judiciary. Like P. Krugman suggests in this article, they don't want to deal with reality. They simply want what they want. The problem......there is so many of them running helter skelter, like bulls running amok, its hard to keep up a solid defense. ted
