++Right-wing pundits have now claimed that same-sex marriage, Obamacare, and giving Gitmo detainees the fourth amendment guarantees of habeas corpus are the worst decisions since Dred Scott.
++Now I propose that the GOP actually favors the Dred Scott decision in its recent formation. But,let's say there are being honest.
++Which is the worst decision since Dred Scott? I propose Citizens United.
++Ross Douhat says that conservatives are responsible for the same sex ruling. In a way he is right. Andrew Sullivan was the pioneer in proposing same sex marriage from a conservative point of view. He was the sole conservative ,fighting more leftwing gay activists. But I noticed no conservatives leaping to Andrew's defense or the conservatives objecting to the Defense of Marriage law or objecting to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. But it is progress when a conservative touts the decision as the result of the conservative movement's efforts.
The same applies to the new conservative line about why should Republicans defend the "Democratic" confederate flag? Why indeed since the GOP was led by the Great Emancipator and the President who win the Civil War. Be nice to see the GOP drifting back to its roots. But don't hold your breathe.
