Leaving aside whether the 9th Circuit constitutes anyone's idea of an intelligentsia, I would have thought all the FDR-haters around here would be a little more vocal about the disgraceful way Musharraf is trying to get around the constitution by packing the courts. But not a peep.
The Pakistani people want democracy - now that everything is going so well in Iraq and Afghanistan shouldn't we be sending in the Marines to make their dreams come true?
