Why, of all people, might Scalia be on that list? Other than, presumably, because the mere mention of the name makes liberals cower in fear at the living embodiment of the conservative counterrevolution, the bete noire of constitutional law, the dark lord lord of the sith, Mean ol' Nino (c. Dahlia Lithwick)? I think such notions rather silly, and vaguely (albeit unintentionally) hagiographic.<BR/><BR/>The answer to her question, of course, is as simple as adding together the votes of Gore and Nader in New Hampshire and Florida. No Nader, no Bush 43.

He epitomized the worst in men. He was, and probably still is, a sexual preditor of the worst sort. But he got a pass for all of that from the feminists. For Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Brodderick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, et al. (ok, Flowers and Lewinski were consensual). <BR/><BR/>The author indicated that she fell out of love with the Gays in the Military thing. Yet, I think that history will show that he did the right thing there - started the process, but didn't force it, with the potential for significant adverse affects on the military that I would suggest the author didn't care about, but in the final analysis, Bill Clinton did.Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1128002439388443882005-09-29T09:00:00.000-05:002005-09-29T09:00:00.000-05:00Whether that's true or not, it would certainly be ...Whether that's true or not, it would certainly be very unhelpful for a former President to get involved in naysaying about the President's handling of a war. Even if the war is a mistake, it would be terrible for Clinton to go around saying that! It's childish to think otherwise.
