Since the SCOTUS dealt some major defeats to the rights agenda last week, Ted Cruz has been on the war path.

Again Justice Antonin Scalia gives reason for a judicial malpractice clause in our Constitution. In a recent interview, this is what Scalia had to say: In 1868, when the 39th Congress was debating and ultimately proposing the 14th Amendment, I don’t think anybody would have thought that equal protection applied to sex discrimination, or certainly […]

On Monday I posted about how we are seeing younger Supreme Court picks, which in turn means we will have justices remain in the high court even longer. I also said how that is damaging to our country, since the court won’t keep up with the changes of society. Today we have a picture perfect […]

President Bush’s pick for the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito, has so far pleased the extreme right. The question will now be in the approval by the centrists. This was a bold step for Bush.
