Today's Washington Post has an article on Chief Justice Roberts's comments about President Obama's remarks, in his State of the Union address,about the Supreme Court's decisionon campaign financing. Prescinding from the rightness or wrongness of the Court's decision, I must say that I agree with the Chief Justice about the appropriateness of the forum which the President chose for his comment. As I recall, the President began his comments on the matterwith a reference to the separation of powers, which to me indicates that he was aware of the ambiguity of his comments. Perhaps it would be just as well if the Supreme Court's members simply did not attend this occasion, which more and more in recent years (decades) has become political theatre more than a serious engagement with the State of the Union.
