Scary To Think That We're The Stupid Party

Ann Althouse has a op-ed in today's New York Times about the recent district court decision staying the NSA's TSP wiretapping program. Althouse makes the legal process point that an legal opinion that does not explain its reasoning fails the most basic requirement for the exercise of the judicial power. Though she does not take an opinion on the substance of the decision, she does say that the issues presented are difficult and the answers not obvious.

She has obviously been attacked by the moonbats. Of all the comments left at her blog attacking her, this is my favorite:

Your pithy commentary on a rather black and white issue is a pretty blatant slandering attempt to cloud the ruling which the people of the United States deserve. Not only was it dissappointing to read your pontification on the ramifications or circumstances surrounding the ruling, but your lack of execution with respect to directly citing anything but sparse references from the verbiage of the decision made your editorial borderline yellow. Our country, the greatest in the history of the human civilization, is such because of the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution. Federal Judges are elected to uphold that. You and your Judicial Watch friends are a jeopardy to our country. We'd live in a plutocracy if you'd have it your way. The framers are turning over in their graves are you fools continue to marry the desecration of basic liberties in the Bill of Rights to security. And before you tout your fascism, for the record, I am a New Yorker, and I am a 9/11 survivor. So what the hell do you know about being attacked. Give me liberty or give me death.

Althouse organizes her op-ed around a theme of irony. How ironic that many on the left are so ignorant.
