HURRICANE RITA DEPOSITS THUNDERCLOUD ROBERTS

UNDER the cover of hurricanes, under radar, under our noses has come the clouded future we'll share living in the land of regressive legal activism.

This new Chief Justice will set the US Constitution on the rear burner for a generation. No mater what talent Bush lacks, his genius for doing the worst thing under the circumstance is unparalleled. If you think you have a civil right or right of privacy, a human right, or any other we now think you might have, forget it.

Right, and I mean right under all our little pitiful truffle-sniffers, this judicial disaster has sailed from a two-year just above intern judge to the top o' th' world.

I wonder what the other seven think, with their seniority and all?

Something about Affirmative Action, you bet?
