"Extra territorium jus dicenti impune non paretur" *






















One of the most enduring and painful effects of the "Bush Years" will be the result of his great success at stacking the Federal Appeals Court with arch conservatives. According to a New York Times article by Charles Savage published today, fully one third of all Federal Appeals Court Justices, a lifetime tenured position, will have been anointed and appointed by W.. These largely Federalist Society jurists now make up 61% of the judiciary. They control ten of the thirteen Federal Appeals Courts. One of the judges quoted in the article makes the laughable claim that they are bringing a neutral application of the law to the judiciary. The neutrality of Roberts and Alito is quite evident. Let's hope that they all have a short and happy life.


* The judgment of one who is exceeding his jurisdiction is disobeyed with impunity.

Another of your left wing crybaby journalism. I suppose you would want no justice system at all.
Why don't you ever write about what is good in America?
I noticed that you censor people like myself who have had it with your commie ideas.
