...perpetrators [Sept. 8]. It created a big dent in the American plans for Iraq. It drove a wedge between America and the Shi'ite majority and scared off Iraqis who had been willing to collaborate with the U.S. It also proved that the Shi'ites still have no protector in Iraq. The best response for the U.S. is to shrink the goals of its mission. The old regime has been eliminated. Leave Iraq to the Iraqis; empower them to make their own decisions. Omar Minyawi Latham...
...should be jailed for breaking the law by disregarding the court order to remove the monument. The U.S. was built upon the premise of separation of church and state in order to preserve freedom of religion.

To Rehnquist's critics, the large number of overturned laws made it appear that he was practicing the same judicial activism for which conservatives attacked the Warren court. "This is not so much the court setting itself as the protector of the states," says David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University. "It's the court setting itself up as the regulator of Congress's legislative power." To which Rehnquist would say, "Exactly." That is precisely the job of the court if you think the power of the Federal Government...
