“Will Liberal Mitt Romney be Conservative Kind to Supreme Court?”

Based on his record, no.

I am hoping Romney will not nominate Van Jones and Anita Dunn to the SCOTUS, both held positions in the Obama regime and were outed by Beck extensively on Fox TV. Dunn said she looks to Mao when seeking guidance. Jones is much worse.

The chance of Mitt Romney picking a true pro-life conservative to the highest court is zero.

How sad, but true.

This is what troubles me most about a Romney presidency. I do think an Radical Marxist Obama second term would be worse than 8 years of the liberal Mitt, but on this point it might be a toss up.

I wouldn’t say zero, but I would put it pretty dang low.

[EternalVigilance]

No, it's zero. Ask yourself: Do you truly believe that Romney is going to pick someone more conservative than Thomas and Scalia?

Because not even they take a truly pro-life position. Like the rest of their colleagues they have never stated a word of support for Fourteenth Amendment equal protection for the child in the womb.

That's right. There isn't a single sitting member of the Supreme Court who is pro-life. Not one.

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment...If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."

-- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade majority opinion, 1973

Semantics. But no point in arguing, fundamentally I agree with you on this point.

[EternalVigilance]

To lawyers it’s about semantics. To me it’s about persons.

Read some of your posts on this topic and I agree with your constitutional positions on abortion. My initial response was intended to be about the chances of getting a Kennedy vs a Kagan; and not about abortion. I miss-read it.

Well, so far he's appointed a foreign-policy spokesman:




Openly gay Richard Grenell.

And that's his first appointment - and he's not even nominated yet.

It appears that we've seen the last of Mr. Mitten's conservative mime.
