Yeah, That's Our Job

In yet another 5-4 Supreme Court decision this week upholding the GOP's distorted redistricting plans (this time in Pennsylvania), Justice Anthony ("secret-Bush-v.-Gore-author") Kennedy wrote the following (apparently without a hint of irony):

"The ordered working of our Republic, and of the democratic process, depends on a sense of decorum and restraint in all branches of government, and in the citizenry itself," Kennedy said. "Whether spoken with concern or pride, it is unfortunate that our legislators have reached the point of declaring that, when it comes to apportionment, 'We are in the business of rigging elections.'"

Mr. Pot? Meet Mr. Kettle.
