The appropriate response to any Republican complaint about the Courts:

[NobleCynic]

In regards to any complaint or comment about "liberal" courts or activist judges by anyone, this should become the party's standard response:

With the appointment of Harry A. Blackmun to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon on June 9, 1970, the Republican Party has filled the majority of seats on the Supreme Court. Currently, the Court stands at a 7-2 Republican to Democrat ratio. No Chief Justice has been appointed by a Democrat since 1953. Any complaints regarding the conduct of the courts should be forwarded to the party at fault, the Republican Party.

Associate Justice John Paul Stevens - Appointed by President Ford on December 19, 1975
Associate Justice Antonin Scalia - Appointed by President Reagan on September 26, 1986
Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy - Appointed by President Reagan on February 18, 1988
Associate Justice David H. Souter - Appointed by President G.H.W. Bush on October 9, 1990
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas - Appointed by President G.H.W. Bush on October 23, 1991
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg - Appointed by President Clinton on August 10, 1993
Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer - Appointed by President Clinton on August 3, 1994
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. - Appointed by President G.W. Bush on September 29, 2005
Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. - Appointed by President G.W. Bush on January 31, 2006

In fact, it is my belief that this should be our campaign slogan going into the fall elections:

Any complaints or blame regarding the state of affairs of the nation as a whole should be placed directly on the shoulders of the party at fault, the Republican Party

The Republicans have controlled the Supreme Court since 1970.
The Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives since 1994.
The Republicans have controlled the Presidency since 2000.
The Republicans have controlled the Senate from 1994 to 2001 and since 2002
The Republicans control every branch of government and have for quite some time.
And haven't they just done a wonderful job?
It's a good thing government has been so blessed and righteous since the Republicans took control.

Make it into a commercial with pictures of Katrina and the war in Iraq playing in the background or something along those lines. I figure too many people out there assume the Democrats have any power over the government's actions these days.

Indeed, and somehow problems are still Dems' fault.

The lack of rudmientary logic baffles me.

Too many people assume we had anything to do with this mess.
