The Wall Street Journal thinks that this case before the United States Supreme Court will define once and for all the rights of individuals to own firearms under the Second Amendment. I think, like so many cases decided by the Supreme Court, it will only muddy the waters.
As expected, the United States Supreme Court has halted the execution of the Florida man convicted of killing an 11 year old Florida boy. Too bad.
Gary McDowell has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which he reviews the battle over the last 20 years (ever since Judge Bork was denied a seat on the United States Supreme Court) between liberals and conservatives and activist judges vs. judges who interpret the law.
Ruben Navarrette has an interesting article about Clarence Thomas. I suspect that his point is more valid than anything you will read about Justice Thomas. He ends the article by saying "Personally, I'm glad Clarence Thomas is angry. And the rest of us should be ashamed."
These are the cases that the Supreme Court will hear this term:
1. Guantanamo Detainees
2. Crack-Powder Cocaine Disparity
3. Lethal Injections
4. Voter ID
5. Child Pornography
6. Presidential Power
7. Investor Lawsuits
8. Louisiana Death Case
9. Government Bonds
The Court may also hear these cases:
1. D.C. Gun Ban
2. Execution of Child Rapist
After 16 years Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has written his autobiography called "My Grandfather's Son". The book will go on sale Monday. Among the points that Justice Thomas makes is that Anita Hill was a mediocre employee who was used by his political opponents. Thomas says that during the time that Hill worked for him, the only complaint she made to him was about his refusal to promote her. This should be a book worth reading.
Reading this article makes me appreciate all over again how lucky the Republicans were that President Bush nominated two strong Conservatives in John Roberts and Sam Alito, and that Bill Frist used all of his skills in getting them confirmed
