Nothing in the record would lead me to agree. Unless looking the other way on torture and losing what should have been an easily-winnable war are considered great accomplishments... :)
I didn't want to turn this into a pissing match...but it's clear we lost the war when we became the torturers we claimed we flew 3,000 miles to destroy. :(
I'm not joking, Mr. Stone...sure, the SCOTUS has bastardized the meaning of the Commerce Clause to give the Federal Leviathan authority over EVERYTHING that happens in America, but that can be overturned if we get the Right majority in the Supreme Court. I think Alito is a good addition, although the jury's still out on Roberts, imho.
"I would hope that the Supreme Court stays as impartial and non-partisan as possible."
It's not partisan to recognize that the U.S. Constitution expressly limited the size and scope of the Federal Leviathan and courts have bastardized the meaning of the Commerce Clause to allow the Feds to stick their noses into every nook and cranny of our society.

So you would agree that Congress should not be passing federal legislation to allow gay marriage? :)
"Congress should not be passing federal legislation to allow gay marriage?"
At present, the debate is about a Constitutional Amendment, which is the way change is supposed to occur, as compared to overriding the Constitution with an activist Judiciary.
And how is that not invading every nook and cranny of our society?
This is why the judiciary -- and Congress -- should remain as balanced and impartial as possible, so these encroachments on the minority's freedoms can be avoided.
"...the judiciary -- and Congress -- should remain as balanced and impartial as possible"
Balanced? What's that mean? In any event, the judiciary should maintain a steadfast non-partisan bias, but the Congress is by definition "partial" to given ideologies, as they should be.
"...these encroachments on the minority's freedoms can be avoided."
Last I checked (ten seconds ago, on C-SPAN2), the rights of a certain minority in this country are being encroached upon...and by a non-balanced, thoughtless cross-section of the Republican party. It's sad.

Puh-LEEEZE!! Marriage is the holy matrimony between one man and one woman for the furtherance of creating a family unit to bear the next generation. That's just what "marriage" is, and the gays oughtta just git over it. If they want to pledge their undying love for their partner and exercise certain legal provisions similar to those that married folks have, more power to them, but it ain't a "marriage"...call it a "coupling" or whatever, but it ain't marriage...MUD
No, they are asking for special rights...if a man--any man--wants to get married, all they need to do is find a willing lass. But two men or two women cannot be married, by definition.
Do you believe brothers should be allowed to marry their sisters? How about fathers marrying their daughters?
You just can't go changing the definition of, arguably, the most successful institution out there without beginning down a very slippery slope.
Sen. Susan Collins (news, bio, voting record), R-Maine, said the military should swiftly "get to the bottom of what happened and how it was investigated" and suggested that Rumsfeld, himself, should answer questions such as when he learned of the allegations and what actions he took thereafter.
Politically, the alleged murders in Haditha — as well as unsubstantiated claims of unprovoked civilian deaths by U.S. troops elsewhere in Iraq — threaten to further drag down support for the Iraq war and could turn into a political problem for President Bush and Republicans five months before congressional elections. Polls show voters increasingly uncomfortable with the direction of the war as well as more inclined to see Democrats leading Congress.
12 The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry [a] his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."
