...warhead SS-18, the most threatening weapon in the Soviet nuclear arsenal. "We believe that would be a big mistake," Perry told reporters, "and have so represented our position to the Russian government and the Ukrainian government." Protests to Beijing on this score, he added, were "more general." Leonard Spector, who tracks nuclear proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says that if China is determined to build SS-18s, it "would be a strategic threat to us and a very fundamental new dimension to the antagonism...
Both of these statements are true. Yes, the Court has decided the issue. And yes, we are a nation of laws. (Senator Specter sure knows his high school civics.) But Specter was unable to tell the audience about why he agrees with the Court. It is not enough for Spector to tell us that the Court has spoken. He should also be able to tell us why he thinks the Court decided rightly...

What this response illustrates is that the Supreme Court isn't always so supreme to Senator Specter...

The lyric lines are long and chatty, with more pomp to the bomp. Bat II is the '50s, '60s and '70s, packed in steel and wrapped in Mylar. Or go back even further. Meat Loaf is not quite Jussi Bjorling, and Steinman ain't no Wagner, but in rock terms Bat Out of Hell II is a Gotterdammerung you can dance...
