"But this qualifies as a great civics lesson? Civics means more than the literal instructions for our government machinery. Civics is about citizenship, about how people are supposed to behave in a free society. And in that sense, this has been a terrible civics lesson." -- Jonah Goldberg, "Florida Boring..." |
Today, the Florida mess moved back to the FL Kangaroo Kourt. Again, the questions seemed to be poor and the justices woefully ignorant. It's hard to read much into oral questioning -- and they at least did not simply defer to David Boies (who looked rather deflated) on everything -- but when so many justices seem to be looking so hard for a way to engage in activism, the result can never be good. Surely they won't invite the U.S. Supreme Court to spank their asses again?
