Rove: We’ll Have a More Modest Court that Recognizes that It Is ‘Not the Legislative Branch Dressed in Robes’
EXCERPT:
ROVE: "Yeah. Take the first three quarters of that and put it aside. He’s already figured out how each one of these justices is going to rule. I don’t agree with that. But I do agree it is a big achievement for the Conservative judicial movement. Let’s describe what that victory is. The victory is to reign in a court, liberal, to keep from happening a liberal court that would use the judiciary to achieve legislative means that could not be passed through the legislative bodies. We will now have a more judicious, a more restrained, a more modest court that recognizes that it is the judicial branch, not the legislative branch, dressed in robes. And I think that’s the big achievement. More power will flow to Congress because Congress will now have to write the laws that the country is guided under and not rely upon a Supreme Court with five liberal or six liberal justices in essence dictating to the country what legislative solutions ought to be from the bench."
