Boortz Ping!


If you want on or off the occasional Boortz ping, FRmail me and let me know.

Look, there are other prisoners involved here. Maybe not in the immediate vicinity of this guy, but eventually.

They're in the can for crimes against property. He's there because he's a brutal murderous thug, and no matter how many Justices on the Supreme Court express their like for him, these other prisoners have rights.

Eventually their right to live undisturbed by the presence of a brutal murderous thug will run into his, and he's going to lose.

Way back in his death penalty phase, Howard Dean pointed to this situation as the one you really have to consider when you discuss capital punishment. He noted that when you leave people like this alive they kill again, or somebody else kills them, and not in the most humane way either.

That may have been Howie's last rational thought, but he was absolutely correct.

All of this proves, of course, that Justice Kennedy is a whacked out nutball extremist.

WOW wonder if this is whats happening today?

"...the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch."

At what point does international opinion trump the dictates and limitations of our Constitution?

I believe the year was 1932.....

Federal judges are circumventing the Constitution and ignoring the rule of law. Here is one way, maybe the quickest and best way to put a stop to this practice. Thanks to the magic and power of the internet, you can be part of the solution by simply clicking here and then clicking "Send".

As Scalia pointed out, we are one of the few countries in the world that has legalized abortion. Are we going to cite international law on that one too or are we just going to be selective about it?

Well, well, well. It's official. We can hold a referendum on who gets to stay on the United States Supreme Court.

They just said so.

Of course, being socialist, the rules they make do not apply to them.

The vast majority of Americans will direct their attention to the current NASCAR standings, tonight's edition of Entertainment Tonight and whether or not there's enough brewski in the 'fridge for the weekend.

I like a lot of what Boortz says, and I absolutely agree with the gist of this column, but I have to step up and defend my Nascar-loving friends. I am not into Nascar at all myself, but I know many (here in North Carolina) who are. It wasn't necessary to single out these folks. In fact, the Nascar-loving people are probably one of the groups most enraged by this ruling.

Gotta agree with him on the Entertainment Tonight crowd though!!! ;-)

The fight over Justices is about a whole lot more than abortion. Indeed, I believe abortion is one of the less important things to consider when evaluating potential nominees.

Overturning Roe vs. Wade will not end abortion, but putting in place a judge who reasons like those above ("international opinion") could end our republic.

Isn't it beyond odd that freedom is becoming more infectious around the world in countries that want our way of life. Yet the men in black base their decisions on opinions of countries that don't want their way of life any longer.
