Read Wretchard, of course.

Surely ...

Surely you can guess this one:

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

OK then. A huge hint: Who on earth do you think that Wretchard would quote at a time when the Brits need a stiff upper lip?

"" Jay Rosen, if you're listening, if you changed the acronym DCCC to NRCC, and "Forest City" to "Halliburton," if Tom Delay had compared Kelo to 'the word of God,' if the family running Halliburton was also involved in legal defense for terrorists, and if the decision had also been heartily endorsed by Fox News, d'ya think I might have read about that in the Washington Post by now? ""

That pesky Hitch again on unintended intended consequences.

"... when the court becomes a political plaything, there is less reason for any of us to respect it." (HT Glenn)

Poetic justice.

I Can't Remember The Last Time

... I quoted Drudge. But this pants down on the hateful Schumer covers a lot of ground:

Schumer was overheard on a long cellphone conversation with an unknown political ally, and the DRUDGE REPORT was there!

Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, proudly declared, “We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.”

Schumer went on to say how hard it was to predict how a Supreme Court justice would turn out: “Even William Rehnquist is more moderate than they expected. The only ones that resulted how they predicted were [Antonin] Scalia and [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg. So most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again.”

Schumer later went on to mock the “Gang of 14” judicial filibuster deal and said it wasn’t relevant in the Supreme Court debate.

“A Priscilla Owen or Janice Rogers Brown style appointment may not have been extraordinary to the appellate court but may be extraordinary to the Supreme Court.”

By the time the train hit New Jersey, Schumer shifted gears and called his friend and “Gang of 14” member, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. The two talked in a very friendly manner about doing an event sometime this week together.

Happy INDEPENDENCE Day!
