Supreme Embarrassment

When will the Supreme Court be ready to enter the 20th (not to mention the 21st) Century? Next week, the justices will hold one of their most important oral arguments in decades, and the public will not be able to watch the proceedings, or even listen to them live. It’s time for the justices to show the kind of “civic courage” that Antonin Scalia thinks the public ought to show when it tries to shape governmental policy. Just as he expects voters to validate our country’s motto as the “Home of the Brave,” so should he and his colleagues do the same. The challenges to the Affordable Care Act have provided a wonderful opportunity to educate the people about the Constitution. It’s a shame the Supreme Court is not taking full advantage of that opportunity.

Tough words David, but I agree with you. Thanks.

This is a court that thinks photo ID is fine for the rest of us when we vote. Funny they are camera shy when they exercise their duties.
