If I were Karl Rove

I'd like to see a new round of criticism of Justice Kennedy and outraged liberals attacking the critics, all based, of course, on the Kelo decision. I think that the more people hear about what the case means, the stronger the support for ending the filibuster on presidential nominees. They're going to want a majority who will overturn it.

He has a great position as the bête noir of the left. It gives him as bully a pulpit as the president's own. The Democrats can't help putting it on front pages everywhere with their over-the-top outrages. He's a gift from the left that keeps on giving.
