So you are saying that liberal courts create prosperity? I wont argue your statement. Maybe you should read it after you have had some rest. I think you made some leaps there that myself and I am certain others will fail to understand. I do not wish the Supreme COurt to be conservative. I feel that it is paramount to the survival of this country that all middle class prosper and continue to increase their earning potential. It is through that means that more people have more money to buy goods and services. Ultimately corporations prosper and we all move forward.

<<I do not wish the Supreme COurt to be conservative<< I am kinda with you on that too. Liberal judges tend to uphold 1st and 4th Amendment Rights. So, I am all for that-- especially seeing how bad the 4th has taken a beating on the "War on Drugs". BUT, the Clinton/Gore administration has said that 2nd Amendment Rights are State Rights-- even though we all know that the FIRST TEN Amendments are known as The Bill of Rights and are by definition INDIVIDUAL Rights. So, conservative judges are more likely to correctly interpret the 2nd as well as the 10th. The 10th is very important to hold and in reality is the basis of our federal government. So, to me, I just hope that we have a 4 year Republican and a 4 year Democrat so neither side can "stack the deck" like FDR. BTW, I do not think that ANY USSC will rule against Roe vs Wade which Gorons tried to make many women believe (anything for a vote...).

I'm not quite sure how you determined that my comments were "conservative." I simply indicated that, based on the applicable legal principles, I thought the majority opinion was incorrect and that the dissent, especially that of the Chief Justice, was entirely correct. I'm unaware that the 3 dissenting justices are considered to be politically conservative. In fact, if I were a betting person, I'd wager that each of the seven justices voted for Mr. Gore.
