"THE HYSTERIA MOUNTS: I'm beginning to wonder if the Republican party will soon oppose the whole concept of an independent judiciary. Just read William Bennett's screed in National Review. It contains the sentence: 'It is a mistake to believe that the courts have the ultimate say as to what a constitution means.' Bennett and his co-author argue that Jeb Bush should send in state troops to reinsert the feeding tube and break the law if necessary. Screw the science. Screw the court system. Screw the law. I disagree with Jonah that this is a minor spat with no long-term consequences. We are looking directly at the real face of contemporary Republicanism. Sane, moderate, thoughtful people are watching this circus and will not soon forget it. "
Did I mention that I still love Andrew Sullivan. I'm gonna sample the (non-wingnut) true conservative anti-federalist portion of the blogsphere for some choice quotes.
