The Supremes Miss Another One
From private property rights to religious expression, the so-called conservative U.S. Supreme Court proves the need for President Bush to exercise his mandate that was earned from the 2004 landslide, and appoint another Scalia or Thomas.
Nearly every media on-line poll is reporting at least 50% of Americans disagree with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling against public displays of the Ten Commandments within courthouses.
Those in support number in the high single digits to the high teens.
No word yet how U.S. Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid or House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi plan to turn this ruling into a majority-winning theme in 2006.

As Justice O'Connor stated in her concurring opinion: "Allowing government to be a potential mouthpiece for competing religious ideas risks the sort of division that might easily spill over into suppression of religious beliefs. Tying secular and religious authority together poses risks to both."
Religious liberty is too important to depend on vacillating majorities.
Division may get votes, but at a heavy price. Politicians who are tempted to divide us should try to be responsible.
