Like Scalia? Vote for Rudy! If you don't, well, you know what to do!

If you like Antonin Scalia, then vote GOP. Even Rudy Giuliani -- probably to pacify his Rightist critics -- has jumped on the Scalia bandwagon. BW said he liked Sacalia and we got his clones. So, now we have a very conservative (and fairly young) majority on the Supreme Bench. GOP appointed judges also dominate the rest of the federal judiciary. With only one Democratic President in the last 27 years, that shouldn't be surprising.

I think it's kind of laughable that Republicans continually complain about activist judges, when they've been doing the appointing for much of the last quarter century.

If we wish to have our freedoms respected, the environment protected, then put some balance into the judiciary in 2008 and don't vote for Rudy or his pals.

And as for this idea of originalism:

Giuliani said, "We need judges who embrace originalism," the view that the Constitution should be read in line with what it meant when it was adopted. "We believe in the Constitution as it was written," he said to applause.

Yeah, that worked well for women and slaves didn't it! Originalism in Consititutional interpretation is a bit like a Wahabist reading of the Qu'ran or a literalist reading of Genesis. But of course Rudy just wants to win votes doesn't he? And the result -- if he were to win and keep his promise? Pretty scary isn't it?
