"Extremism": Answer to Michael

Michael notes that, according to Jeff Toobin, Sen. McCain's recent speech on judges and constitutional interpretation reveals that he (the Senator) is being advised by "extrem[ists]."  In answer to Michael's question, I plead "guilty" to having a different view of the Court's role and work than the view held by Jeff Toobin.  Unfortunately, in Mr. Toobin's world (and in the world inhabited by not-a-few others commentators and Judiciary Committee members), "extreme" is defined as "disagrees with me."  (To paraphrase David Lee Roth, "I don't *feel* 'extreme'.")
