Yes you can be both, however I don't think the companies are being mean spirited in nature. I just don't believe they care so long as the profits are there.
No, you haven't said the courts made laws but there are many GOP on this board and out in the real world who say it.
I should also prequalify this, there are judges (such as the Indiana judge) that are lowest on the totem pole and will make rulings on the flimsiest of excuses to suit their personal agendas , however, 99% are usually overturned in the next step. But the higher you go the more the judges rely on previous cases, precedents and the Constitution.
As for Scalia, I believe he is too close to Cheney, should have recused himself in the case against Cheney and would be a very poor choice, a very dividing choice between parties and we don't need that.
