For years liberals have pleaded let every vote count. Apparently you believe that until the votes are in opposition to your views and you then plead repress every possible vote. What are you afraid of? Let the people decide.
The standard defense you use is the people are so stupid that they are being manipulated by Connerly. How about the citizens of California, Michigan and Washington understood exactly what they were voting for. They object to racial preferences. Why is that so difficult to understand?

The American system allows for majority rule. Here you are in the minority.

Re: Obama, defeat of anti-affirmative action ballot mark MLK Day

The identically worded constitutional amendment was enacted in California, Washington, Michigan and Nebraska. Obviously with the national election of President Obama the proposition that Americans are so biased against blacks that the entire race needs special unfair advantages has been disproven. In our competition against the rest of the world we need merit to be the only factor in achievement. Somehow prejudice has not harmed Oprah, Denzel, Shaq, etc. etc, etc.

Re: US Supreme Court promotes wrongful imprisonment and age discrimination

In reading your opinion article it appears you have absolutely perfectly defined what conservatives call judicial activism. Assuming everything you say is 100% true than Congress/Legislature should pass the correcting law and the President/Governor should sign it. It is NOT the job of the judiciary to decide their own definition of fairness and make that the law of the land/state.

Believe me you would not want me to be a judge and decide what is "fair" and make that the law. Goodbye graduated income tax. Goodbye affirmative action, etc etc. You only wish activist judges when they rule your way and over rule the legislature.

Re: Problem With FEC Exemption Of Blogs: You Can’t Follow The Money

I can see why there might be some concern but fortunately there is already in place the definitive answer.

Congress shall make NO law restricting freedom of speech or the press. However you wish to define blogs, speech or press, they qualify.

The solution to any perceived problem is simply more speech or press.
