Drunk? Need to sober up quick?

The Guardians of your right not to be molested by the police state have a solution: get arrested (not convicted, arrested) for about anything....running a red light and not whipping out your insurance card fast enough......misbehaving at a Tea Party rally.......any little thing will do.

Once you get arrested, the Supremes have authorized a full strip search and body cavity exam. Nothing sobers me up more than the snap of a latex glove and the feel of cold KY jelly on my ass.

I understand, you're cuffed and in the slammer, but you might have a Glock up your ass, you know how often THAT happens.

If public safety trumps all Constitutional individual rights, then total access to your email and bank accounts, random stops and warrantless home searches are here to stay.

Did not like the Supreme Court decision one bit.

We are literally down to a Supreme Court of 1: Justice Kennedy. The idealogues on each side have parted with their brethren occasionally, but rarely (if ever) on important, "partisanized" issues.

To see an article about how even Reagan-era conservatives are upset with the activisim of the judicial right of the Supreme Court bench, here's a good article (http://mobile.latimes.com/p.p?a=rp&m=b&_fromSocial=1&postUserId=7&postId=1890667).

LA Muskie, you are beyond an idiot. Both those guys endorsed Obama last election. To hell with your "Reagan Era" lawyers tripe. You are a fool, and now a known fool.

The Supreme Court is divided. It always has been on contentious issues. It is just as divided one way as it is the other. This country is divided. We also may become Greece, but without someone to bail us out.

If you want to argue back, tell me how Reagan they were after endorsing Obama last year. Don't peddle that soft crap here, I have no use for it.

God have mercy on us, and screw a fool like you.

It sounds like to me that Snipe wants to strip search LA Muskie.

I found two things odd about the article:

1) That a Reagan lawyer got a job at Harvard (though from his comments and Obama love, he has apparently been reformed by Harvard).

2) That someone who endorsed Obama is employed by Pepperdine.

Snipe, read my post. I noted that there were idealogues on both sides of the bench. I didn't post an article about the activist left because, well, they've always been attacked as activist.

As for the Reagan era lawyers, many supported Obama in the last election. Even as conservatives, Reaganites were unabashedly progressive in many eras. The fact that they supported Obama in the last election doesn't mean they are wrong about the emerging activism of the Supreme Court right.

What does this have to do with health care? I am very confused.

Obama is more of an authoritarian than Reagan was.

Would people have the same outrage if there was one more liberal judge on the supreme court and every ruling was slanted to the left?

Surprise, surprise, the Supreme Court has judges who have a leaning to either the right or the left. Guess what, it always has.

Now this is the Snipe we've always known and loved, not that "reasonable political dialogue" poser who has been hijacking his posts recently. Personal attacks always in fashion for Lil Rush.

It hasn't always been contentious in the Supreme Court. A student of the court would know that. And it has seldom been conservative appointees pillaging our personal freedoms in the name of order (skip the law.) Scalia and Thomas are vitriolic ideologues, uncivil and combative in the extreme, and much more activist than the (allegedly liberal) justices they replaced.

Yes. It would just be different people.

No, because liberals have traditionally not stayed "in line" the way conservatives do. They are typically much more willing to buck the trend.
