Mike Huckabee would be a worse President than Jimmy Carter.
i agree. He’s a bleeding heart Christian....just like Carter.
Ping!
Unlike Carter, the Huckster has no election prospects. He is the worst of the lot. I prefer any other candidate except Ron Paul to the Huckster. The Huckster cannot be trusted on any major issue.
And that’s pretty bad.
Hey Dano1/Dane:
How do you defend this?
I am sure you will, but I just want to hear it.
Ann Coulter talked about this judge...she did not approve.
no he is a humanist “Christian”...
if in fact he is indeed a Christian then that would be his only redeeming quality.
Were all of Ronald Reagan’s appointees to the SCOTUS glowing conservative successes???????
“Were all of Ronald Reagan’s appointees to the SCOTUS glowing conservative successes???????”
No. But they didn’t have major red flags attached to them when he nominated them. And he certainly did not cite them as models. There are so many great conservative judges you could cite all over the country. He picks the guy who he’s friends with. Harriet Meiers redux. No thanks.
Agreed, and now we have “wonderful” hindsight to prove what judges like these will do in their rulings while on the Supreme Court.
Levenski Smith is from Hope.
“In the abortion case, Frye v. Kansas City Mo. Police Department,375 F.3d 785 (8thCir. 2004), Judge Smith joined the other liberals on the court in voting to allow police to arrest peaceful prolife demonstrators assembled on public property and to effectively censor their prolife signs, with impunity, if the police deemed the contents of the signs to be offensive.”
Tell me exactly how you are going to get a Human Life Amendment through the state legislatures if the local police have the authority to arrest you on public property and to censor your speech.
Levenski Smith is from Hope.
Wonder how much he donated to any of Hucks campaigns or what kind of gifts he gave to Huck and the wife and family.
Probably very little. He was a Legal Services attorney when selected for the state supreme court.
Unfortunately James Madison didn't foresee the day when judges would make the laws.
Conservatives have learned a lot on the subject of picking judges since Ronald Reagan was President. We need a President who will continue to make progress on this issue.
It is interesting to me though that they would say this judge is slightly to the left of center and then follow that by saying he’s dissented twice in search and seizure cases where he thought law enforcement violated the 4th Amendment and once in a case where he thought a confession should be suppressed because it was involuntary. Are conservative judges never supposed to rule against law enforcement if they think officers have violated the 4th Amendment or coerced a confession? I would hope conservative judges would follow the law and uphold the Constitution, even if that means sometimes ruling that evidence was illegally obtained. If being a conservative judge means you have to give carte blanche to law enforcement to do whatever they want to do, then we don’t need conservative judges.
