Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen: Court's Conservative Turn Is A Matter Of Math — And Art

[perception5]

WHEN ? will the poor black children in our "deep blue cities" going to be "lifted up" through education?

Why does less than half of the children in Washington DC never graduate from High School?

Why is it that 72% of Black male children in Baltimore never graduate from High School ?

When will the Dems "ENABLERS" our Corrupt Liberal MSM Wolfpack Press "shine light" on this crime ?

Is this what you LIBERALS call "Social Justice" ? ............. No Justice ............ No Peace.

[hypnotoad72]

Nice use of the word "ho" in the article's title, LOL...

All I know is, the truth (and the balance) is in the middle.

...and that $exual infidelity or $exual inhibition (in other words, being a *** or a ho) leads to heartache and/or disease.

[perception5]

Children should go to the school that is closest to their homes...........PERIOD.

What did Martin Luther King say about this ??? " Don't judge me on the color of my skin but instead by the content of my character" ................. King was correct. And this Supreme Court was absolutely correct in its decision.

It's not about the color of someone ones skin its about having "good schools" in the deep blue inner cities of this country where the Dems have a monopoly.

Invest in the K thru G12 system. Provide "performance based pay" for teachers whose children do well in "testing". The problem is our mob-run unions don't like this idea.......... they think everyone should get the same pay regardless of performance.

When are we going to stop writing "blank checks" ? when is there going to be "accountablility" in our deep blue city school systems ? when can American expect "timelines" for higher High School graduation rates?

In Detroit only 25% of children ever graduate from High School. Detroit also has the "highest" crime rate in America.

Liberals free the poor black children in your deep blue cities..................... TEACH THESE CHILDREN or GET OUT OF THE WAY.

And the "enablers" of this crime, our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack.......... start reporting on the failure of your pals the Dems.

Considering the court has been "Leftward Ho" for the last 60 years, I'd say it's about time some sense came back in to it.

90% of the reason our country is in such a mess today is directly attributable to the PINHEADED interpretations of the constitution by a liberal SC.

Welcome to Southern Fascism folks! This is a place where some think they are superior to others and those on the bottom are exploited along Religious and racial lines to keep those who THINK they are superior in place. I fought those battles in my youth, now it's time for a new generation of American's to take on the twin headed monster of Greed and Religion. Good luck! Sieg Heil Bush!

pt 1
Well, certain areas of the law like the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution are so broad they are necessarily shaped by the ideology of the majority of the sitting justices - if not for Sandra Day O'Conner, who knows whether Roe v. Wade would ever have been passed. And although we all seem to have strong opinions when it comes to those hot-button issues like the death penalty, abortion, and social justice, I don't know whether there are truly 'right' or 'wrong' beliefs. Apparently Justice Breyer all but called his neo-con colleagues racists, and hey I'm inclined to agree. But there are probably a whole lot of other people who have different ideas of what is 'equal' in the abstract.

I think where ruling such as these develop the ability to be judged as 'right' or 'wrong' and not just a matter of ideology is when the hot-button issue is secondary to an institutional issue invoving business or education. For example the Republican Congress in the mid-90's based on the idea that Big Business needed less oversight to maximize profits passed laws to deregulate much of Wall St., particularly the energy industry . . . a couple of years later we had Enron, the collapse of Enron, and a restructuring of the entire corporate accounting protocol. In that case, the ideology with no 'right' or 'wrong' was misapplied based on an inaccurate assessment of how to optimize the corporate structure and the law was clearly wrong.

pt 2
My sense with these Bush appointee rulings is that the judges much like Bush have a grand vision in their minds of how their decisions are going to play out which is going to be completely different in reality. Like they seem to lack the empathy to accurately gauge how people will be affected or something (?) When the entire education system goes to pot, holdings such as this one will eventually have to be overturned. Plessy v. Fergusen ('separate but equal') was eventually overruled by Brown v. Board of Ed. (desegregation) . . . hopefully as soon as one of these Bush twits kicks the bucket, this one'll get overruled too . . .

The real culprit her is extremism. When one party dominates in all branches of government, the opposition suffers. The best plan of action is down the middle of the road where action by general concensus becomes the best action to take. That way everyone is better represented. The bleeding will not stop for generations as a result of what has been foisted on us by the current administration and by those who have supported it.
Greed is behind what has happened to America in recent years. The rich and powerful think they have made great progress only to find that in future years they will also suffer as a result of their excesses. Everyone suffers when greed is the ruling force behind decisions of national importance.
We as the people of America have to make a decision as a nation: are we going to be a nation where the winner takes all, or are we going to be a nation of hopeful people who move forward cooperatively and collectively where everyone feels represented? Until recent years we have worked together very nicely. This will not happen as long as the court legislates with estremist views from the bench. Good Luck, America.
We can learn beneficial lessons from an administration like this if we move forward together and make the corrections needed, or it can be the beginning of continuing upheaval, dysfunction and disgrace. I do hope we make the right choice. The current court only makes it more difficult.

We have a court system that is bought and paid for by the Corporation. Congress and White House too! 'We the people' and the 'Constitution' mean nothing to these people.
Wake up Folks before we everything!

[Keypinitreel1]

The Republicans are going to be demoralized next election... these guys are like a disease... we have to give everything to the democrats and let the Dems hold it for 8 yrs in order to re-establish balance.

[cfin5]

If it's going to the right, it better STOP at the Constitution of the United States.....There is no difference in the "SUM" of being to far left or right. Remember the Church of Englands historical equation in our countries birth folks!

It's no small wonder then that Justice Alito was heralded last week by a business publication for his service to the cause; the man sided with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 13 out of 14 cases this term, Bloomberg reported.

So much for the workin stiff. Honest day's wage for an honest day's work! Not with 13 out of 14 going to the Chamber of Commerce. This on top of outsourcing!!

[wogerwabbit]

More tesitimony to the Republicans coming thousand year banishment from serious consideration as a political party.

They think we're stupid... WRONG... we're slow, not stupid. But, we tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but they've used up their good will. They passed through the "put up or shut up" time and didn't even know it was a test. They failed miserably and will now pay the toll for their continued fealty to we the corporations rather than we the people. So be it.

[aaabee-2009]

The nation has the Court it said it wanted %u2014 and, indeed, the Justices it deserves.

NOT THE ENTIRE NATION, THANK YOU.

Let any conservative court touch my rights as a woman, I dare you.

Regression will not an option.

[ubrew12]

So be it. I believe this will encourage voters to elect Democrats to Congress and the White House, so that there can be no miscommunication of intent when they pass laws that must be 'interpreted' by these neanderthals in the court.
