To the Victor Goes the Court

Personally, I don't understand why the US Supreme Court is treated like they are messengers sent by God. Hearing the political pundits and the liberals inside the belt, one would think the Supreme Court never did anything wrong. ... Let's see, in 1856, the Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott that slavery is the law of the land compelled by the Constitution. Well, guess what, slavery isn't compelled by the Constitution. In 1896 the Supreme Court decided in Plessy vs. Ferguson that separate but equal is equal, which is odd since that's not what the equal-protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment says. And in 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese-American citizens. So the Supreme Court said that slavery, segregation, and the internment of American citizens were constitutional. Well, the Court was wrong on all of those. I think we would be wise not to place the Supreme Court on such a high pedestal. Just my opinion...

From Martin Frost on FoxNews.com:

Elections have consequences. George W. Bush has won two elections as president of the United States and now he gets to name Supreme Court justices. And as long as those nominees are qualified and not extreme, they deserve confirmation. His first nominee, John Roberts, should be confirmed unless something unforeseen surfaces during Senate hearings.
