An op-ed piece in the NY Post today sheds some light on the rather scary position taken by Judge Guido Calabrese of the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. He compares Bush being in office to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini:
“Somebody came to power as a result of the illegitimate acts of a legitimate institution that had the right to put somebody in power,” said the judge.
Why does it not surpise me that this judge was appointed by Bill Clinton?
The 5 Justices that ruled in favor of Bush were all appointed by Nixon, Regan, or Bush Sr. Clinton only appointed two Justices, Ginsburg and Breyer, who both dissented from this opinion.
