The Pendragon's Hall

I wondered when the Observer would return and give me more patent absurdities to refute. Intriguing is her resort to polls. 70% of the American public supported the war in Iraq at its outset yet somehow I suspect those polls aren't legitimate enough. The hypocrisy of the Left is something absolutely ridiculous, so much so you can't even accuse them of it without being accused of hypocrisy yourself. The Observer believes that the Right would be applauding the decision of the state courts if it were what we wanted. This is probably true. And Scott Peterson--I mean Michael Schiavo (sorry, Freudian slip) would probably then have wanted Congress to intervene and the Observer would be happy for them to do so. So don't flatter yourself on your elitist superiority. The point of the last post was, Congress has the authority to establish the jurisdiction of the courts and how far the appellate process (that's anything to do with appeals, Observer) can go. That's all they did. They didn't order the rube reinserted. Nor have they put any pressure on the Federal judge now hearing the case to do so. All they did was in keeping with their constitutional rights. The Federal judge has not even complied with the parent's wishes, so I am not quite sure what the Observer was belly-aching about. Must have been something at dinner.

I wish I could transport the Observer back in time to the 1950s, for more reasons than one actually, but the primary reason being she could preach to the Eisenhower administration about not sending troops to desegregate the schools. This is a matter that should have been left to the states after all. You'd better believe if a state court ordered a terrorist suspect held without food and water, the Observer and her companions on the Left would be more than happy to see it go to Federal Court or even to have Congress simply intervene. The hypocrisy on this question is so great you can't even call it without being hypocrite. That's life with a Left gone wild.
