Chief Justice Burger, with Justices Rehnquist, White, and O’Connor, wrote: “in an effort to become an omnipotent [] problem solver[,]. . . the court distorts our constitutional function”; “the importance of a governmental service does not elevate it to the status of a fundamental right”; “assum[ption of] a legislative role [is] one for which the court lacks both the authority and competence”; “[i]llegal aliens have no right whatever to be here, and the state may reasonably, and constitutionally, elect not to provide them with governmental services at the expense of those who are lawfully in the state”; “the constitution does not provide a cure for every social ill, nor does it vest judges with a mandate to try to remedy every social problem.”
How true, too bad this is an anathema for liberals!

Angry White Men will decide the Election
Here is an excerpt:
There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.
His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.
The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.

Mitt Romney, CPAC, drops out
Romney is out :-(
Hopefully the conservative movement isn't set back too much.
Good luck Mitt, in whatever you decide to do.

Romney's Cash Advantage
From Marc Ambinder's Blog Post:
Mitt Romney's had an 8 to 1 television ad advantage in Florida
It appears that Romney's cash advantage is what has kept him in the race early on. If he can beat McCain in Florida, I think he will take the nomination, especially if he wins a commanding victory (5-10%).
