A shameless attack on the courts during wartime...


And they’ll make the case that voters were very much within their rights, when casting their ballots, to consider their own moral and religious views about marriage — or any other subject.

- Edwin Meese, III, NYT op-ed


Really? Any subject? What a freakish put-down of the courts, the rule of law, and the whole idea of a Constitutional Republic... This is what counts as Conservatism in America? That toilet bowl? Really?

...titular head of a national organization (for laundering Conservative donations anonymously?), declared that a Federal Circuit Court in America - a Federal Circuit Court - was capable of putting on a "show trial". This is what we need during a time of war? Really? A well funded effort of that sort? Maybe the FBI should investigate who pays for this?
These folks are so unbalanced by the love-that-dare-not-speak-its-name that Maggie Gallagher, titular head of a national organization (for laundering Conservative donations anonymously?), declared that a Federal Circuit Court in America - a Federal Circuit Court - was capable of putting on a "show trial". This is what we need during a time of war? Really? A well funded effort of that sort? Maybe the FBI should investigate who pays for this?

The rest of Meese's playbook is shocking. President Nixon didn't want to turn over his tapes, remember, EM? Then, we found out that the emperor really didn't have any clothes. I mean complaining about being given the opportunity to make the case against the fall of civilization, as so many have put it - that's the voice of Conservatism today? That's the role of Emperors and High Priests, never to be questioned. Thankfully, our framers deliberately designed the system to thwart them and the likes of Ed Meese, III.
