Justice is so not blind, and in all the wrong places

We knew it wouldn't take long — the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act" is in court.

Casey asked Johnson if doctors tell a woman that the abortion procedure they might use includes "sucking the brain out of the skull."

"I don't think we would use those terms," Johnson said. "I think we would probably use a term like 'decompression of the skull' or 'reducing the contents of the skull.'"

The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"


Get that man off that bench.

Meanwhile, Bush "decided on an elaborate ceremony to sign into law legislation expanding legal rights of the unborn," the Unborn Victims of Violence Act.
