How dare President Obama brush back the Supreme Court like that?
Has this former constitutional law instructor no respect for our venerable system of checks and balances?
Nah. And why should he?
This court, cosseted behind white marble pillars, out of reach of TV,
accountable to no one once they give the last word, is well on its way
to becoming one of the most divisive in modern American history.
It has squandered even the semi-illusion that it is the unbiased, honest
guardian of the Constitution. It is run by hacks dressed up in black
robes.
All the fancy diplomas of the conservative majority cannot disguise the
fact that its reasoning on the most important decisions affecting
Americans seems shaped more by a political handbook than a legal brief.
