i find that the SCOTUS tends to always be a surprise to me, they never quite do what i expect, close but not quite :)

i believe in law, justice and personal accountability. very very strongly.

i have found btw, that when one talks of concepts i and my fairly liberal friends tend to agree. but when we get to specifics we do not. i think it is often an issue of seeing the same issue/facts and drawing a different conclusion. i believe that comes from having differing backgrounds and personal experiences in life. (rather then say stupidity which is what it is often attributed to)

that and i am a fairly moderate conservative about some things. downright almost liberal even sometimes :P but i think that is because i think i want government out of all aspects of my life, from my bedroom to my wallet :D
