		<description>Substituting "present calm [for] a disruptive round of ... litigationâ€ is exactly what many landmark cases have done, Justice Stevens. Trading a little liberty for a little safety is rarely a wise thing (&lt;a href="http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/quotable/quote04.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin&lt;/a&gt;).</description>

		<description>Yes, Tom.  "Judicial Activism" is in the eye of the beholder.  No one has ever thought Stevens to be anything but a "progressive" thinker.

IF Stevens had concurred, now THAT would have reversed precedent.</description>

		<description>As Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in his dissenting opinion, the majority opinion "reverses course and reaches the wrong conclusion. In doing so, it distorts precedent, it misapplies the relevant constitutional principles, it announces legal rules that will obstruct efforts by state and local governments to deal effectively with the growing resegregation of public schools, it threatens to substitute for present calm a disruptive round of race-related litigation."</description>

		<description>Marshall, I pose a question to you and others about shades of gray:

If you keep modifying what you believe in, at what point have you surrendered your original belief?

I am black and white.  My wife hates it, so be it. For more years than anyone cares to remember, we, in the form of government, have thrown billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars at problems with no end or resolution in sight.  As I cited: War on Poverty, War on Drugs, Urban Blight, ad nauseum.  The missing key is the involvement, or lack thereof, of the people we are supposed to be helping.  How many generations of people know only welfare as a way of life?  

IF I were to give you all the money you needed for your CATV/Radio stations, you would probably stop fund raising and grant seeking.  IF I, in the form of government, grant you housing, food, medical care and education, what is the incentive to better yourself?  Socialism and Communism are doomed to failure because they don't reward personal initiative.  Welfare does the same; so do racial/ethnic quotas, whether in education or business.  There is no need to improve because if you wait long enough, you will be rewarded, simply for seniority.  Very much the way Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House, the msm's bs was chest beating raised to an art.</description>

		<description>Paul...

SOmetimes your comments have gone from sublime to ridiculous!

You can keep beating your chest, and bang your wardrums. I feel no need to, nor have I ever advocated you to stop posting or giving your opinions. To the contrary.

Some of your opinions I agree with, some I find absurd, but, I still think your the same Paul that I have come to know and like over the years...

Its just that some times, your a little to black and white for me (not enough greys!)(no pun intended)</description>

		<description>Terry, you have hit the problem.  The law is not what you "believe" or "feel" it should be.  It is what it is and interpretation should be based on that alone.

A judge may be personally opposed to Roe v Wade. But, as long as it is the law of the land, until the Roe Effect takes hold and a future SCOTUS overturns it, that judge is duty bound to honor the law or recuse himself from the decision.</description>

		<description>NO, but I could play in the major leagues.

Where am I wrong Marshall?  You advocate spending money.  Has that not been tried before?  Has it ever succeeded?

I cite the failures of your approach.
Your criticize my citations with no facts to refute my position.

Respond to my questions and posts with facts and we can have a discussion.  Or are you running for some political office and practicing your campaign here?

I am not broadcasting, I am offering my opinion on a topic on this blog. Do you think that since I disagree with you I should not comment?  Sounds like McCain-Feingold to me.  What should we call it?  Marshallism?</description>

		<description>Terry...

Your right, Paul is right on at least one account!

That put's his batting average at .086, with no HR, or RBI's.

Not even minor league stats!

In broadcasting, we call what Paul does "narrowcasting"!

Keep banging that drum Paul, sooner or later I guess youll hit one out of the park...IF you take time to really listen to the other side!!!</description>
