Let's all hope they don't expend the capitol in an invasion.

another quiz, jurisprude-style
Which current Supreme Court Justice most closely matches your own philosophy?
(n.b. -- this reads like lawyers were not particularly involved in drafting it, which is to say that some of the questions are terrible)
Me:
Ginsburg
O'Connor
Breyer
Souter
Stevens
Kennedy
Rehnquist
Scalia
Thomas
etft -- sorry

Activist Judge's Relatives Murdered
I feel bad for this judge, but if the activist judges provoke the public, they assume the risk of being impeached, being recalled, having courts' jurisdiction restricted by legislatures, outlandish amendments to state or the federal constitutions, being assassinated &c. Boston Globe article |

In the case that pissed off the white supremacists, she originally ruled for them, and then entered judgment against them only after the case was reversed and remanded by the appellate court.

If anything, that sounds like it was written by club/spanky's people. "When drawing up congressional districts, states should be allowed to ignore geography and make obscure districts of mostly minorities (ie, racial gerrymandering)"
eta my top person was Breyer, I think, then Stevens. Maybe vice-versa.

It was an IP case. Jeeeeezus.
How would you like to be her daughter, knowing you had very likely been in the house with the bodies of your father and grandmother?
Sounds like they should have gone after the appellate judges. Not that I wish they would have or anything.

She's probably an activist, given that Clinton appointed her and she worked full time for left-wing organizations before becoming a judge. If she is an activist, it's possible some right-wing wacko other than the white power dude killed her. Activist judges have many wacko enemies who believe their activities are an affront to God, racism, &c, &c. |
