Rich Lowry: "Our Worst Justice"

No, it's not Breyer...it's Anthony Kennedy, and I think Lowry is correct.

Lowry: "Why did the Founders bother toiling in the summer heat of Philadelphia in 1787 writing a Constitution when they could have relied on the consciences of Supreme Court justices like Anthony Kennedy instead?"

(Or as Mark Levin puts it: "...every time the Supreme Court meets in secret conference, it sits as a constitutional convention, rewriting the Constitution at will.")

Lowry writes that Kennedy's reliance on emotions over a clear judicial philosophy is deeply troubling, calling Kennedy "one self-important man who can't differentiate between his inner compass and the nation's fundamental law."

To quote Andy McCarthy: "There's got to be a better metric of how much say we have over our own lives than what side of the bed a justice happens to get up on that day, no?"
