Scalia and Thomas are among the creepiest of the creepy in a GOP negative universe inhabited by the likes of Kissinger and Nixon. What is it about these people that makes them so much less than human, yet able to attain high positions of responsibility and respect where they take public craps on the highest ideals and traditions of our society? Four Supreme Court justices who don't believe in the wisdom of the court system or the rule of law. How does that happen? I wish they would all go duck hunting with Dick Cheney, as soon as Obama is elected.

In answer to your question, they've been kicked around by reality and learned lessons from that. We having been kicked hard by conspirators downing our towers, are making every effort to forget the hard lesson.

An important point. Every time I see a picture of the Twin towers, or a picture of modern New York without them, I want to bomb Mecca. I want to see the Saudi King's head on a pike. But what I would rather have is an America that believes what it says and tries to live up to the high principles we aspire to. We have not begun to achieve those principles. Maybe we never will. But if we turn our backs on them, the way Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Bush, Cheney, and so many others have, we will never achieve them. And if we turn our backs on them, we give the terrorists a victory they never dreamed possible. In our own way we bring the towers down again, and justify the terrorists' actions in a way they should never be. It's not about good guys and bad guys, but is is about the people who want to be good guys and the people who do not know good from bad. It takes real strength of every type to stand by your principles in the face of adversity. In the face of adversity this country, in the official capacity of its elected government, has given up its principles as too costly. "The Constitution is not a suicide pact," is the rallying cry of this cowardice. But if supporting the rule of law, habeus corpus, and the Constitution itself is considered suicide, isn't that capitulation? Aren't we giving up the things we say we fight for? The things we sent our kids to die for?
