But that precedes this SCOT’.

Ok. But, do you think the little change that the last seated justice has manifested so far indicates it would have been a different decision?

re: #114 I Am Jack’s Medulla Oblongata

Meh. Citizens United just takes advantage of our real problem: …

I suppose that is true of many of the judicial decisions - judges on the whole (at this level anyway) do follow the Constitution or the case laws.

This brings me to something I’ve not seen many self-declared “conservatives” admit: given the acknowledge non-comprehensiveness of written constitutions and laws, judges have to interpret and adapt old laws to new circumstances and new events. There really isn’t an option for a judicial system to not be “activists” in other words - justices respond to their contemporary situations.
