Oddly enough Bush told Texas to reopen the case of a Mexican condemned to the death penalty. I love the following quote. It’s from People for the American Foundation, the political arm of People for the American Way, a First Amendment org founded by Norman Lear. Please don’t tell me that you’re too young to know who Lear is. He only changed TV.
This deeply troubling opinion is a reminder of how much the Supreme Court has changed during the Bush administration, and how important future nominations to the Court will be,†said the group’s president, Kathryn Kolbert. “Our individual rights and respect on the world stage depend on the future makeup of the court.â€
It is really strange and scary to see the change in the courts, and the change in how they get appointed.
