The Supreme Court: a shaky refuge for those who support the Constitution

The always excellent Thomas Sowell delivers a well-placed boot to the trouser seat of Republican presidents who go with "safe" picks for the Supreme Court.
If and when the Republicans return to power in Washington, we can only hope that they remember what got them suddenly and unceremoniously dumped out of power the last time. Basically, it was running as Republicans and then governing as if they were Democrats, running up big deficits, with lots of earmarks and interfering with the market.

But their most lasting damage to the country has been putting people like John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court.
