...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
In a Sacramento Bee story about two high school girls who wrote essays about the Newdow case, and their reactions to the Supreme Court's recent ruling that wasn't really a ruling, i found the best exposition of the typical liberal approach to law i have yet seen.
The chick who wrote the winning essay in support of Newdow's position (that "under God" should be declared unconstitutional) said the following:
[M]y opinion has strengthened a lot more with looking up the different laws and legal briefs. I really look at it from how others feel. It's not really about the laws; it's about how it makes people feel living in their country. [emphasis added]Perfect, just perfect. A future liberal if i ever saw one. God help us.
Yeah, scary, isn't it?

i guess high school really is less than i remember it. we learned intellectual honesty and critical thinking. . . .
Posted by: jcrue on Jun. 25, 2004Yeah, the law is all about how people "feel." People who "feel" that "under God" belongs in the Pledge of Allegiance? They don't count, of course! I mean, we're only talking about how civilized people feel! Right?
