But constitutional jurisprudence is different. It is, by definition, an exercise of intellect steeped in scholarship.
Krauthammer, Will, Everyone at National Review, Buchanan, Ingraham, Noonan. Turns out the great educational battle over the Judiciary Bush lost the opportunity to fight was the battle over the vaunted principle: Our Elites Are Better Than Your Elites (but we none of us believe in self-government; the foolish masses must be ruled by the wise lawyer class).
See my previous rebuttals here and here.
Thank God Almighty Bush ducked. We can have the battle when there's someone equipped to fight it. Or, maybe he's provoking an educational fight alright, but the people who need educating are those of this own party. God bless the President.
