The Decision

So the federal judge has proved as brave and faithful to the law as was the Florida State judge. Shame on the cynical politicians for raising the vain hopes of her parents and sibilings that they might prevail despite all the court decisions in the past. Of course they will now blame "activist" judges, but the real culprits here are those who refuse to accept the thorough, fair and rigorous way in which this case has been handled.

A friend has said he hopes this judge turns out to have been appointed by Reagan. I hope so too. It would buoy hopes that even judges appointed in hopes of partisan decision making often turn out to be fair and impartial. And rational.
