Ted Olson said to Chris Wallace this weekend: Well, would you like your right to free speech? Would you like Fox’s right to free press put up to a vote and say well, if five states approved it, let’s wait till the other 45 states do? These are fundamental constitutional rights. The Bill of Rights guarantees Fox News and you, Chris Wallace, the right to speak. It’s in the constitution. And the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the denial of our citizens of the equal rights to equal access to justice under the law, is a violation of our fundamental rights. It’s a cute, simplistic argument, but it misses the mark. To those who applaud the decision, I say: would you like your favorite legislative victory to be scrutinized for its rationality by a federal judge? Let’s say you like ObamaCare. Would you like the future of ObamaCare to be decided by a federal judge analyzing whether, in his opinion, there is a rational basis for this government takeover of a huge segment of the economy? Would you like for that judge to be someone who gains a personal benefit from ruling against ObamaCare? Would you like the named litigants on your side to be people who would like to see ObamaCare overturned? OK then.
