"would characterize myself as moderate; I'm in the political swim. I would look for justices who would interpret the Constitution, as Cardozo has said, reflecting the values of the people."
That is more of that "living document" nonsense. If the "values of the people" change, then they should ammend the Constitution as the founders intended. It is not up to the High Court to ammend it. I want STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS on the Supreme Court. Spector is not a moderate, he is a liberal. He is the one pub. I really would have rather not won reelection. At least a dem. doesn't hide behind a cardboard elephant.
The president promised to pick strick constructionists, and I think we moral conservatives have a right to expect him to keep that promise. It is time to use the "nuclear option" on a Senate (Dem. or Rep.) that blocks court appointments.
I am hoping Coburn and other real conservatives going to the Senate will reign RINOs like Spector in.
This sounds like it's right up Tom Coburn's ally. He's delivered thousands of children here in Oklahoma and is a very vocal opponent of abortion. He wont stand for this kind of crap.
