Brilliant -- apparently you haven't read Janice Brown's extensive writings on strict constructionism. You should.

Do your homework & you will see that what you've written above has no basis.

Similarly, what Gonzales HAS written is extremely troubling.

Again, please do your homework.

To: Republic If You Can Keep It

I've read several of her articles, though not all. You can't really tell from a scholarly article how a judge is going to rule on a particular issue. They deliberately write them that way so that you won't be able to tell. I'm a lawyer, and even I can't tell.

And I am particularly worried that she may be inclined to throw out the death penalty. When she was working for Wilson (yes, she was appointed by a RINO), she expressed some misgivings about whether Wilson should implement the death penalty on a case that was coming up for a decision by him. She ducked the question by contending that it was purely a decision to be made by the executive. Even though she ultimately declined to make any recommendation, Wilson issued the order to execute the prisoner anyway.

So, she is apparently to the left of Wilson, at least on that issue.
