American Idiot

Former Iowa Supreme Court Justice Michael Streit isn't bitter, much, about his removal from the bench.

In a panel discussion at the University of Iowa College of Law, Streit quoted from the lyrics to "American Idiot" by Green Day.

" ... I'm not a part of a redneck agenda / Now everybody do the propaganda / And sing along to the age of paranoia."

"Don't wanna be an American idiot / One nation controlled by the media / Information nation of hysteria / It's going out to idiot America."

That would have been enough to get him removed right there and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Wonder why he left out these lyrics?

The subliminal mind fuck America.

And

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.

Like too many American Idiots, Streit seems to want to blame everyone else for his problems.

“We didn’t take the law into our own hands,” Streit said. “The court had a duty to interpret the constitution and uphold the law. I don’t feel we did anything wrong. We had no politics involved.”

The Iowa Supreme Court didn't have to take up the case, that was their decision.

Streit said politicians demanded judges follow the popular vote, instead of ruling on the law. They insisted that judges become more political-to become “political weather vanes.”

“They kept saying it was the “will of the people” but who are these people,” Streit said. “There was no evidence of what the will of the people was (in Varnum).”

WHAT?!?!
