Mess 'o New Orleans...

Hurricane Katrina has devastated New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast. What should government's role be in recovery efforts? Think in terms of local, state, and federal governments. What should we do as citizens on the outside?

What should the role of today's Supreme Court justices be? Should they strictly interpret the Constitution as written? Or should they be judicial activists, using a looser scrutiny when interpreting the Constitution? These issues are sure to be discussed in much greater detail when John Roberts faces confirmation hearings before the U.S. Senate. Blog away!! (be sure to fully explain your rationale for your position on this issue)
