Ruth Marcus nails a point I neglected in my post yesterday:
What’s perhaps most astonishing is that this anger is being directed at a federal judiciary in general, and a Supreme Court in particular, that is far more conservative than the liberal bench that once provoked similar complaints. Consider the distance traveled: What started as “Impeach Earl Warren” — the archetypal judicial activist — has now become “Impeach Tony Kennedy” — the archetypal middle-of-the-Republican-roader.
Soon they’ll be coming for Scalia. He’s no Clarence Thomas!
