The history of the world has a beginning of knowledge and intelligence in human existence. Logically we have proven that there is only right or wrong. Biblically we have teachings that there is only right or wrong. Scientifically and mathmatically we have proven that there is only right or wrong.
The justices have the job of determining finite right or wrong in cases. Their opinions could be anything. They must answer the question of what is right in each case.
Opinions are not what we are looking for. To “change” what is right is not what we are looking for. A gray matter void where everyones opinion fits is not what we are looking for.
We need to know what is right.

Are these justices really saying they don't want Sonia Sotomayor in their family, or is this more about the relatively mild grief they feel about losing David Souter, maybe even that they're Supreme Court Justices and they expect to have such complete control over their lives that they notice even the most minor disturbance? I can't tell from the full versions of these excerpts just released, much less these chopped up versions presented here.<br><br>How many other possibilities do these comments suggest besides wariness? There are so many writers, left, right, and center who are either incable of thinking of other possibilities or don't want them interfering with their spin. And so much of the public falls for that, especially the conformist and trusting right, even more so the truly crazy right.<br><br>I wish I saw more people holding writers accountable for spin like this. This is a terrible piece. Why not wait for the actual interviews to be aired and decide for yourself? I've seen this spun the same way elsewhere as well.

How many other possibilities do these comments suggest besides wariness? There are so many writers, left, right, and center who are either incable of thinking of other possibilities or don't want them interfering with their spin. And so much of the public falls for that, especially the conformist and trusting right, even more so the truly crazy right.

I wish I saw more people holding writers accountable for spin like this. This is a terrible piece. Why not wait for the actual interviews to be aired and decide for yourself?

As if change is not part of the program? Diversity is not allowed? People with different opinions from what they are accustom to are not allowed? But we allow them to interpret the meaning of the Law. Odd that only the ultra-right side of the court has misgivings? As if change is not part of the program? Diversity is not allowed?
