Can’t count on the court
From Bob Novak’s Column today:
Thomas Carper, the low-profile junior senator from Delaware….was one of the 17 Democrats voting to ban partial birth abortion three years earlier.
Sometimes disarming in his comments, he said last week after the court upheld the 2003 bill: “I think a number of people who voted for it thought that the court would ultimately strike it down.”
Apparently these people didn’t learn not to expect anything from the Court.
Case in point, didn’t bush sign the McCain-Feingold Law (BCRA) expecting the court to overturn it?
Well–just look at McConnell v. FEC
