Actually, it was about *NOT* executing the mentally retarded, but your
point is off-the-mark at any rate. Scalia castigated the SC for what he
perceived as an attempt to establish a national consensus where none exists.
If that's the case, then there should be no problem for the SC to
"establish" a national consensus that it's unConstitutional for Congress to
have included "under God" in The Pledge.

And I can't imagine anything more galling than such a judge, except
perhaps a conservative President attempting to establish an
uber-Constitutional strike force--thank goodness that'll never happen...
Conservatives are certainly no less hypocritical than Liberals--judges or
otherwise. The difference is that you seem to agree with (and therefore
excuse) conservative hypocrisy.
Dave!
