All to the good. Despite my conservative credentials on this list, folks know that the area where I outflank many of Guild colleagues on the left is my disdain and hostility to court litigation and relying on judges for protecting our civil liberties or just about anything else.
It's funny-- the Guild could not even after six months of extensive debate bring itself to vote to call for impeaching the Supreme Court in the wake of Bush v Gore, for fear by many of undermining "judicial independence", but the national office has been casually endorsing impeachment of Bush. It's funny that even on the left there is still so much more deference to the elistist unelected branch than to the well, democratic judge appointed executive branch.
