Well, well, well...

I thought given the low approval ratings of the Bush foplks and the Republican Party in general that the Supreme Court would have had the wisdom to lay off a year before beginning to dismantle the ideals of the Great Society but not this bunch... They have taken up Affirmative Action right out of the gate???

Yep, that hiest of the 2000 election is going to pay some big dividends with a new court that is packed to the gills with right winged ideologues... Heck, given their appetite to turn back the clock it wouldn't be a surprise to see them also take up Roe v. Wade...

In a strictly political sense, this was a stupid move on their part... Sure, it will play to their base in this election year but with gay marriage, affirmative action, flag burning and perhaps Roe being brought into play all at the same time, the other side is going to be strongly motivated...

Kicking sand in the face of the3 opposing party is never a good idea and will come acrss as terribly arrogant and arrogance is the one thing we keep hearing over and over from moderates in defining the Republican Party...

Well, last time we heard "Bring it on", that's exactly what happened...

Bad move politically speaking and a worse ove from a social standpoint...
