LIBERALS SHY AWAY FROM COURT DECISION

Did you notice how the liberal crowd went silent when the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided to assault private property rights?
On virtually every liberal talk show, you could hear a pin drop. When the Court decision was brought up by callers, liberal talk hosts quickly changed the subject.
Now in general the liberal crowd adores the Supreme Court. They look to it as their only instrument of power. They count on the liberal justices to legislate from the bench and advance the left wing agenda. Usually the liberals are pleased with what the justices do. But this time around, the results were not too pleasing to the left.
As a matter of record, let's state that those voting to protect private property rights in the recent decision were Rehnquist, Thomas, Scalia and O'Connor. Those voting to take away private property rights were Breyer, Souter, Stevens, Kennedy and Ginsburg.
Or to put it not so gently, the five liberal justices were eager to assert the power of government over private property ownership. And the four Conservative justices stood firm in defense of property rights.
The decision in question all the more helps to emphasize just how imperative it is for President Bush to nominate true Conservatives as quickly as possible. Failure to end a Supreme Court liberal majority will mean the loss of much more than mere property rights.
