Well, it depends on how you define "legacy"...

Today's New York Times contains an insightful piece about our legal system and its increasingly conservative character. And surprisingly, this discussion focuses not on the Supreme Court (which actually doesn't decide that many cases--who knew?) but rather on the Courts of Appeals scattered throughout the country. These judges, too, are presidential appointees and serve for LIFE. And you thought Bush's "legacy" was the Iraq war! Ha! Wrong again, sucka!
