Which i thought was entirely appropriate for him to do so. The inappropriate thing for him was for him to go out in public and take a position on something he knew was coming before the court. That i haveher case noticed. This crop of justices loves to opine Public Forums and on what they are doing in their judicial business. Why theant to know Supreme Court is not yet hearing justay marriage cases, follow Ruth Ginsburg around to various Public Forums. She will to you inside stories about what is going on at the court. If they are only granting and the settings of the five cases a year, it seems to me they could grant a few more if they would cut out some of their public appearances. Anybody else on that .

Anybody . You spoke about that a little bit. Im not an expert on catholic doctrine. I cannot answer that question. In general, one benefit you could say that the Catholic Church
It was finally ratified by the requisite number of states on may 7, 1992, 200plus years after it was originally sent out by congress. It has to do with congressional pay. It provides that if Congress Gives itself a pay raise, it will not take effect until another election. In any event, we know who was president of the United States on may 7, 1992, president george h. W. Bush. So that is a connection between him and the bill of rights. The second also concerns the date. But it is much more than a curiosity. President bush was in office on the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the bill of rights, december 12, 1991. And he took that occasion to point out something that is very important, namely the connection between our bill of rights and the rights of people everywhere. For a long time, what our constitution gave us, a declaration of rights that actually had teeth. That is what is unique about our bill of rights, it actually has teeth, it is actually put into operation, it is ac
