The "New" Supreme Court

The "New" Supreme Court, with Bush's two appointees, now has the opportunity to demonstrate whether they intend to increase federal power, or leave some of the power in the hands of the States.

Anna Nicole Smith, the playmate-stripper who married an oil tycoon over a half-century older than her, has been fighting for her cut of the Billion or so dollars this guy left behind. His son, an only heir, is fighting to cut her off. Anna, no doubt, has surely cut him off.

The case has now been referred to the Supreme court, and the real issue is whether The SCOTUS has authority over State courts in such an issue.

More federal power, or will they rule in favor of the State?

Stay tuned.
