And in fact i did say it in my "Man behind the Curtain" post, but i think Mr. Novak says it better.
WASHINGTON -- The background of a federal district court declaring President Bush's national security eavesdropping unconstitutional was a conservative's fantasy. The judge, a former Democratic politician and civil rights activist, wrote what read more like a political manifesto than a judicial opinion. What's more, she was responsible for contributions to an organization that was a plaintiff in the case she decided.

Too many appointed Federal Judges have long abused their above-the-law approaches to the bench. I'm just grateful that there are finally people watching and writing.
no i will not condemn clarence thomas.
yes it was a bigger deal, and that's why thomas could NOT recuse himself.
the case should never have reached the supreme court AND neither thomas, nor the court "gave" the election to Bush, they merely stopped the circus.
I agree, all judges should be held to the same standard, but then how can ruth bader ginsburg EVER judge ANY case involving the ACLU?
The decision in the NSA case has been widely criticized by all sides. The case was "shopped" by the ACLU specifically to find this judge, and she PURPOSELY turned it into a political statement.
The situation with Thomas is completely different. The decision to stop the recount was decided 7-2 because it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The decision to not allow any more recounts was 5-4, and it should have been unanimous considering the precedent of the previous decisions. The activists on the court wanted to keep the door open while openly disregarding their own decision in the EXACT SAME CASE.
Yes, but isn't Bob Novak a piece of slime?
Novak is slime? That must suck to be him then.
speaking of....
I'm gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
Well, I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks...
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
