Erm .. ah ... hmmm ... Well ... we never attended law school (though we scored decent on the LSAT's ... without help) ...

On the other hand ... we never drove off a bridge and left a woman who was not our wife to die.

However ... we wonder why anyone would ask what side any judge is on ... Or why anyone would demand, as Hairy Reid has, that a Supreme Court Justice have a "big heart" and an "open mind" ....

Once ... I got a speeding ticket and went to traffic court.

The judge there might well have had a "big heart" and an "open mind" ... However ... I had broken the law as it was legislated by the elected officials of NY State.

I was guilty and was fined. As I should have been.

Whose side was the judge on? Who cares?

He applied the law ...

Who gives a rat's ass "whose side" John Roberts is on if he properly applies The Law as The Constitution defines it ... ?
