Another Bit of Lib Inconsistancy
Liberals cheered when Janet Reno defied the courts to seize Elian Gonzalez.
Good column by John Fund @ WSJ OpinionJournal.com.
Looks like it's OK to go against the courts if you're :
(a) doing so on behalf of a PC cause,
(b) a libDem and therefore above criticism in the MSM,
(c) selective picking and choosing which "principle" to support in your decisions (i.e. state's rights, parental rights, etc.).
If you don't fall under the above, then of course (according to the MSM) you're provoking a Constitutional crisis, if not being guilty of fomenting a coup.
note: As I'm posting this John Fund is on Drudge expanding further on this, and relating it even more to the Schiavo case. He's stating directly that we are presently in a "tyrrany of the judiciary" and notes that Jefferson (with congressional support) fired 40% of the judiciary after he took office as President, with the clear inference that something like that is needed now. No argument from me on that!
