The Supreme Court and the Fourth of July

The timing of the Supreme Court decision that perhaps begins the process of holding the reckless presidency of George W. Bush accountable is symbolic since it only comes days before the Fourth of July, a time that might remind us of what our forefathers fought for so long ago while we're watching those beautiful fireworks. Terrell of Alone on a Limb has several excellent quotes but I liked this one:

"Lord, please give John Paul Stevens many more years of productive work on the Supreme Court! I know you have to take him eventually, but please, please, wait at least 935 days."

- The Man on the Limb

There have been many fine statements about the Supreme Court decision about Bush's phony tribunals but here's one line from a post by S.W. Anderson of Oh!Pinion I liked that gets straight to the point:

It also reveals Bush as wildly unqualified to issue this kind of order.

"Wildly unqualified." Now that sounds like an apt description the historians will be using to describe President Bush.
