And this is why folks like you are dooming the Republic. It is not the role of the SCOTUS to act as supreme moral arbiter, but rather to interpret law, within our Constitutional framework. Too many decisions are based on non-legal considerations and/or plucked straight out of the justices' arses altogether. But why bother anymore? It is all vanity and vexation of spirit. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
