		<description>Constitution, Shmonstitution...
Right&#039;s of man?  For men only!
Evolution?  No.
De-evolution?  Yes!
What has happened in the past 30 years is simply astounding!

Republican&#039;s, who don&#039;t believe in evolution, should just watch as we we devolve from a republic that tried to aspire to higher beliefs, into a brutish nation run by corporatist, religious thug&#039;s.  These same people, who don&#039;t believe in evolution, are the driving force behind our county&#039;s de-evolution.  
Moron&#039;s:  Where devolution exists, evolution exists...

&quot;Q:  Are we not men?
A:  We are Devo?&quot;
http://www.lyricwiki.org/Devo:Jocko_Homo

When you read the lyrics, even Devo said that:
&quot;God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
Were all here to prove it.&quot;

I sit here in Medieval America awaiting &quot;The Enlightnement.&quot;  Or, a knock on my door...

But I must say, decisions like the one made yesterday give me hope!  Unfortunately, they&#039;re the exception, not the rule...</description>

		<description>Bush isn&#039;t going to stop pissing on the Constitution.. because there is no serious consequences if he doesn&#039;t stop.

 This whole Constitution thing is a mind trip that defies articulation.  I see it as abstract, I see it as intangible, and I see it as precious.. but when I see what Bush has done to degrade the concept.. I see the Constitution as worthless. Maybe that&#039;s because there aren&#039;t enough people willing to defend and uphold its value or treasure the ideals of which it was formed. It&#039;s like it never had any real value if it can be surrendered so easily.

 Who knows?..Just something to think about. I do disagree with one thing that the Judge said.. She said that it — &quot; &lt;i&gt;would&lt;/i&gt; have disastrous consequences&quot;.  Somehow I sense that would is the wrong tense because the violation of the Constitution has already occurred. I guess she means if Bush is not challenged for pissing on our rights, huh?</description>

		<description>Diana Gribbon Motz comes from a not exactly radical background. 

Her father, Daniel M. Gribbon, was a clerk for Judge Learned Hand, and was later a conservative pro-business lawyer in D.C. at the renowned firm of Covington and Burling, where he was the managing partner in the 1970s.

President Reagan appointed her husband, J. Frederick Motz, first as a federal prosecutor, in 1981, and then as a federal district judge, in 1985.

Diana Jane Gribbon Motz has outranked her hubby since 1994, when President Clinton appointed her to her current position.

Here are a couple of photos of her.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/39fed/01usa/html/msa12028.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/39fed/01usa/html/msa12028.html&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.law.duke.edu/features/news_motz.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.law.duke.edu/features/news_motz.html&lt;/a&gt;

She has some more recent history which is more relevant to today&#039;s news.

In 2003, she wrote a powerful dissent when she was on the losing side of the Richmond Circuit&#039;s 8-4 decision in the &lt;i&gt; Hamdi &lt;/i&gt; case.

This is especially true in time of war, when our carefully crafted system of checks and balances must accommodate the vital needs of national security while guarding the liberties the Constitution promises all citizens.&quot; — Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals judge Diana Gribbon Motz, dissenting, &lt;i&gt; Hamdi v. Rumsfeld,&lt;/i&gt; July 9, 2003.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Motz is, I think, one of the main people in the American Constitution Society, formed to counteract the Federalist Society. I used to read 4th Ct. cases regularly and I&#039;d call her very moderate, which, on the 4th, made her a flaming communist. I don&#039;t imagine the place is any saner now. So a rehearing could of course turn out differently.</description>
