"Last week's Supreme Court decisions, allowing states to use racial preferences to promote blacks and striking down the Texas anti-sodomy law, testify to three decades of failure of Republican presidents to restore that court to constitutionalism. " Those words of Pat Buchanan point out the frustrating truth that our appointed judges have not stayed true to those who appointed them or to the American people. The Court continues to be left of middle America, despite appointments by Republican presidents. Of course, Bush Sr.'s appointment of Souter was a washout and everyone knew at the time that Souter was no conservative. But, neither was Bush Sr. O'Connor has become at least a moderate if not worse. All in all, the Court is a disappointment to conservatives and to most Americans.
