Well, it appears that the Supreme Court does indeed take
note of public opinion when formulating their opinions. In
two decisions today, the Court stood squarely behind the
common people.
In the first decision, the Court refused to review Megan's
Law, allowing it to remain in force. Megan's Law, which
requires community notification when a pedophile moves into
the community, remains the law of the land. AFAIC, Megan's
Law is as much a public health regulation as anything else.
Pedophiles do not become rehabilitated and, as such,
constitute an ongoing threat to the community. For that
reason alone, Megan's Law would be necessary and justified.
In the second decision, yet another "special class" of
American people were rudely informed that they were *not*
above the law. When the Justice Department found "no
wrongdoing" in the actions of the Federal agents at Ruby
Ridge, the Attorney General of Idaho filed charges against
them. The Justice Department then sought to have the
charges tried in Federal court. The Court ruled, however,
that the Federal officers were not above the law and could
be tried in Idaho.
... Liberals are blind & deaf. We're workin' on mute.
