I wonder how many murder, rape, etc. cases were deferred for this idiocy? I
also noticed that the fabled Jan ^ committee will now subpoena Clarence
Thomas's wife. Maybe I'll be next, who knows? The gates are open to drag that
along as long as possible.

Subject: [pa64] The slippery slope of judicial activism
This is a fascinating article, particularly for those who are concerned about
the growing narcissism of judges who think their personal feelings are more
important than the actual text of statutes and the Constitution. That, of
course, is the ultimate issue in the Roe v. Wade debate, with apparently
massive numbers of Americans having not the slightest clue about the damage
that decision did to the integrity of the Rule of Law and our political system.
This particular decision is remarkable in that there were two votes out of
seven to essentially consider that an elephant is a person for legal purposes.
That means that a mere two more squishy-minded replacements to the highest
court in New York State will open the floodgates to legal personhood for
animals.
