He has deemed it fit to refer to my opinion on Bush and the Supreme Court to be some kind of marginal extremist point of view. He has compared my viewpoint to that of James Carville and insinuated that I got my opinion from the pages of the Democratic Party propaganda machine, which he somehow refers to as "left-wing"....

I guess it's matter of comparsion. When one sits on the extreme right, the center must look like the left-wing.

I don't follow Mr. Carville or his opinions, but if he's been saying anything similar to my opinions, then he is, in large part, in agreement with the opinions of 673 law professors from 137 law schools in the United States who have declared that the five justices who voted to stop the recount of votes in Florida last December intentionally acted as political proponents for candidate Bush, not as ethical judges.

I began this journal in the development of my opinion with a reading of the opinions of the Court on "Bush v. Gore", which are available online here.

I personally agreed with the assessment of Justice Stevens in his dissent. Cool Hand noted that the dissenting justices dissented largely on the basis of the court even hearing the case...I invite all to see why.

Then, I read Vicent Bugliosi's Betrayal of America, which confirmed my suspicions of the Supreme Court and its actions. I highly recommend it and am curious as to the ad hominim which Cool Hand will throw at Mr. Bugliosi. For a succinct statement of Mr. Bugliosi's opinion, see "None Dare Call It Treason" .

Then, I was impressed with Charles O. Porter's proposed Bill of Impeachement, which can be found here.

And, then, in contradiction to Cool Hand's assertion that the election was not stolen as a result of the Supreme Court actions in Bush v. Gore, I offer up this piece from the Yale Law Journal, v.110, pp. 101-152, May 2001, by Jack M. Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School.

So... Cool Hand... Are respectable law professors across the land all "left-wing demogogues"?

I think you slander by innuendo far too glibly and are way too condescending of others' opinions here.

godfry (and case-sensitive about it, too)

OK, man. If you feel that way about me, then I suppose anything I say in response will be taken as an insult somehow. It's best to say nothing if you are going to get that pissed off.

I'll try not to make any comments directly to you in the future. If you happen to get offended at something I say to anyone else, then I can't do anything about that.
