fear itself

Hey, here's an ironic thought:

Both Samuel Alito, and John Roberts are thoughtful, reasonable, scholarly jurists. They simply fall on the conservative side of the "line". The reason for all the fuss, though, has little to do with the men themselves, and a whole lot to do with a FEAR of what they might do.

The ironic part is that the BushCorp is an administration which has thrived in a climate of fear (much of which they created). One might even say that fear is the bilge pump that keeps their leaky pirate boat afloat. Or, at least, I might say that.
