It's unnerving to think that the vote was that close. It just goes to show that there are STILL 4 activist judges on the Supreme Court.

Alito is going to be a good one. Now, if Jonh Paul Stevens can just go meet his maker..

This is why we elected President Bush -- to replace the activist judges on the Supreme and Appellate Courts!

The out of control activist liberal judges are one of the biggest -- if not THE BIGGEST -- reasons for much of the hate and divisiveness in America today. Until we get them under control and back in the role where the Constitution placed them, we HAVE NO CONSTITUTION! The liberal activist "law giver" judges can change it's meaning tomorrow by a SINGLE VOTE. By a SINGLE VOTE, a liberal activist judges decides what 300,000,000 million American will do and believe!

Even if Conservatives and Republicans disagree with President Bush and Republicans on everything else, we must get those liberal activist "law giver" judges and courts under control -- FIRST! We can work on the secondary problems later -- one by one.

Note the last sentence about the reaction of the four LIBERAL JUDGES!!!

"New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito broke a tie Monday to rule that Kansas' death penalty law is constitutional."

"By a 5-to-4 vote, the justices said the Kansas Supreme Court incorrectly interpreted the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment to strike down the state's death penalty statute. "

"The dissenters, the four liberal members of the high court, bitterly complained about the decision."

FOUR MORE TO GO!!!!!

AAR

Actually, what everyone has overlooked is the absurd MSM headline: "Alito Breaks Tie!" What does this really mean? When the Court comes down with some left-leaning decision on a 5/4 split the headline reads: "Supreme Court Rules" or "Case Decided." At most they call it a "narrow" decision.

And, of course, there is no "tie" to break. Each of these guys has one vote. Any justice voting with the majority is equally the "tie breaker". What does it really mean except to attempt to delegitimize the decision.

Same thing with this endless lefty mantra the the Court somehow "appointed" Bush. If it had ruled in favor of Gore's endless recounts the court would have "Vindicated the principle that every vote counts" or some other highminded nonsense.

The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 that the Kansas death penalty law is Constitutional.

Which group of judges are wrong and don't understand the Constitution?

The 5 in the majority?

The 4 in the minority?
