Reply #171: I can't believe Torture Boy got thru law school

or that he was awake in government class in high school where they talk about the three branches of government. The judiciary is a check on the other two.

I don't know where he went to law school, probably University of Texas, but that is NOT where I went to law school. And they didn't teach him that the prez is superior to the other two branches in any school.


These idiots don't know about stare decisis (you don't change a previous decision of an appellate court unless there is good reason to do so, as in throwing out 'separate but equal'), they don't know about the concept of judicial review which we have had for two hundred and three years (Marbury v. Madison, 1803), or any of that BASIC STUFF you learn about in law school.

And then when they came out with the abomination of Bush v. Gore, and said "This decision is NOT a precedent", my head exploded. That drives legal types crazy.

AGGGGHHH!! It's a wonder I know my own name -- on a good day.
