case.

Ed Henry on CNN is reporting this now.

Oooohhh, the RW won't like that....

1. Read it closely, its all procedure, not substance.

He said he was against congress trying to pass legislation on a pending legal case in a blatant attempt to overturn a court decision. Thats an opinion based on the separation of powers, not one based on the real substantive issue, which is whether he believes the constitution would allow congressional moves to "protect" people like Schiavo by mandating that they be kept alive.

That question is completely avoided. Yet he carefully creates the illusion that he has in fact answered the question.

This is a devious MFer, pharisaic to an extreme, exactly the wrong person to be a judge, valuing sophisticated, clever arguments over fundamental truth.

2. but when it comes down to it......

the procedural stuff it wall save this country.


if there's a judge who's willing to base his or her judgement strictly on procedure, i'm for it. it will always work in American citizen's favor.

3. But this guy is using the distinction to fool you, or if not you, others.

He is deliberately trying to make people think he believes one way on the substance of the issue, when he actually believes the opposite, and he is using a very technical procedural basis for his misleading statement, that very few people will understand. He is evil.
