Nice to see the Supreme Court can read. LOL Anyway, they've been on a roll recently: Gitmo prisoners have a right to challenge their detention, there are unfair punitive damages in lawsuits, and now we have a right to bear arms. Maybe we can get them to revisit Kelo while they are in such a Constitution-friendly mood.

Clear, immediate positive effect? I can think of a few clear, immediate negatives off the top of my head. Originally Posted by Wolf

Were it possible to produce fully grown, memory-imprinted and licensed Antonin Scalias, I would support cloning.
