The Next SCOTUS FightDaley scorns cabbie dress code idea
Chicago's Democratic Mayor Daley has reached a point where he has decided that enough is enough - when it comes to the far-reaching hand of a would-be nanny approach to public policy.
A dress code for cabdrivers. A ban on the sale of foie gras in Chicago restaurants. To Mayor Daley, it's all part of the same slippery slope: a Big Brother intrusion into the lives of Chicagoans that he wants no part of. "We're trying to tell people they can't eat certain foods. They can't buy certain foods. They can't ship certain foods in. Pretty soon, you can't drink. Do you really want government to keep telling you every day what to do?" Daley said.The Chief finds it encouraging that even a died-in-the-wool Democrat like the mayor still has enough reason to say STOP! Maybe there's some hope for the Donks yet.
Next high court pick anyone's guess
The next appointment for the Supremes is going to be where the rubber meets the road. Bush will either waffle to try to ger along with the Donks, or he can apoint a red meat conservative and jab a finger in the Donkaey's eye.
Hopefully it will be the latter, and one also hopes that the Senate GOP will have big enough cojones to make the appointment stick, whether or not it takes the "COnstitutional option" to shut down a filibuster, or whatever...
Time will tell, and this is one the Chief will be watching closely, along with many others from all sides of the political spectrum. On with the show!
