No I understood that part, but again I cannot agree. When you have 7 Republican nominated justices vs. 2 Democrat nominated justices (both by Clinton in the mid 90's). I simple cannot accept the court as liberal. Even to classify both Souter and Kennedy as moderates, doesnt shift it left enough. Rehnquest was not a far right judge but that doesnt make him a liberal. My position still remains Rehnquest court as center-right.
I absolutely agree that the court should be Bi-Partisan and outside politics. But when you see Supreme Court justices at fancy dinner parties given by well known Democrats or going duck hunting with a certain conservative Republican Vice Presidents I find it very hard to believe that they are just talking about the weather. I think politics has been seeping through the court for some time now. Look at Marbury vs Madison that was most definatlly court politics and thats in 1803.
Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.
I need to ask you about something else off topic, can you please check your PM...
