Chess and Supreme Court

| Senior master Eugene Meyer was on CNN today .
No. Not about chess.
About the law.
Meyer is president of the Federalist Society whose mission is to
respect the Constitution by interpreting it back in 1787.
Supreme Court nominee John Roberts is a member of this society and
apparently reflects their view of the law.

John Roberts seems to have developed amnesia and suddenly can't
remember whether he's a member of the Federalist Society or not.
However, a directory from a few years ago shows him as being in the
Society's leadership directory, so that would seem to fill in for his
temporary loss of integrity^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmemory.

| STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST?
The big government statists here need not worry. Roberts may be
a member of the Federalist Society, but he is little more of a strict
constructionist than David Souter.
The last thing the Republicans want is to overturn Roe v Wade,
which is their electoral meal ticket among many Christians. Roberts
will not vote to overturn that decision, and everyone understands this
point on the Hill. Bush will then get to keep the "balance" with an
appointment to replace Renchburg -- as Nixon used to call our chief
justice. The replacement will favor overturning.
When Roberts disappoints the Right, there will be the usual
stuff about one never knowing how a judge will vote until he gets on
the Court. That will be Bush's way to protect his Right flank.
Just remember: the only group larger than feminist supporters of
legalized abortion is professional Republican politicians who work in
the electoral "process," as it has come to be called. Roe v Wade and
several other such decisions are their meal ticket.

This time Jürgen the rat has found out that classical newspapers such as Der
Spiegel or Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung or Die SchachWoche are out of date
and the future belongs to the Internet mass media !
What an astonishing discovery by a member of society which Gutenberg once
belonged to !
