There is a rather bitter irony . . .

[markpkessinger]

. . . in the DOMA arguments, in that some of the very same same conservatives who are so terribly concerned about the unprecedented nature of a case in which a President asks the court for a determinative judicial ruling where it already agrees with a lower court's ruling on the matter, had no problem with the Court's unprecedented action in stopping a recount and appointing a President.

1. The 5 Republican justices are all rightwing judicial

activists. They legislate from the bench with only a passing interest in the law.

They offer excuses, not reasoning.

[Archaic]

2. I think you're looking for Machiavelli. Not irony.

There doesn't have to be consistency, hypocrisy means nothing.

Win at any cost.

The ends justify the means with these schmucks.

3. Not a Single One of Them Will See the Conflict at All

That was then, this is now. Got to remember the five "conservatives" obviously believe in "results-oriented" decisions.
