Hypocrisy, thy name is Right Wing.

NSA case exposes blatant GOP hypocrisy

From, The Existentialist Cowboy

"The American right wing has said repeatedly, loudly, and belligerently that they favored strict constructionist judges, strict constructionist interpretations of the Constitution. Now that they've got a decision that is as strictly drawn upon the Constitution as any decision in recent memory, the right wing responds by trashing the judge —Judge Anna Diggs Taylor! They claim she was once married to a Democrat. A sin, I am sure! The Bush administration attacks on another front, lamely resorting to the 911 argument i.e., he's a "war President" and, presumably, the Constitution no longer applies."

The spirit of the decision is summed up in a single quotation from the decision:

"There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution."

—Judge Anna Diggs Taylor
