Prez and the Court

The President and the Courts. Professor Lazarus has a column in FindLaw expressing some disappointment in both candiates' routes to talking about the Courts and the types of Justices they would appoint. To be fair, he finds much more fault in Bush than Kerry, whom, says Lazarus, is merely holding back too much in order to avoid more liberal name-callings.

In many respects, the article is a critique of current rhetorical use of 'activist judges' and 'strict construction.' Worth a quick read.
