Kangaroo Congress

Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, was solicitor general of the United States under President Ronald Reagan, and had this to say about Congress:
"IN their intervention in the Terri Schiavo matter, Republicans in Congress and President Bush have, in a few brief legislative clauses, embraced the kind of free-floating judicial activism, disregard for orderly procedure and contempt for the integrity of state processes that they quite rightly have denounced and sought to discipline for decades."
