But when the ACLU ran to Rush's defense, suddenly he had kind words to say about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1150255424190000992006-06-13T22:23:00.000-05:002006-06-13T22:23:00.000-05:00i always am amazed at how conservatives i talk to ...i always am amazed at how conservatives i talk to seem to fervently believe that the supreme court, like the whole u.s. court system, is "liberal" and "activist." i point out to them the case of bush v. gore in 2000---but then they tell me with a straight face that partisan politics didn't enter into that decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1149997336895218022006-06-10T22:42:00.000-05:002006-06-10T22:42:00.000-05:00Congrats on the C&L link.

I've never heard Bush distance himself from this platform so one must assume that this is the position that he takes as well. It'd be nice if our media (which gave Clinton all kinds of shit over the abortion issue) would bother to ask Bush exactly where he stands on abortion and ask him if, in fact, he supports his own party's official platform.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1149932911535369042006-06-10T04:48:00.000-05:002006-06-10T04:48:00.000-05:00If the Supreme Court takes away abortion rights, I...If the Supreme Court takes away abortion rights, I predict there will be a backlash against conservatives in general in this country.
