Federal judges ping.

The part where the liberal blogger says he wants the courts to “return to the Constitution” is priceless. To state the obvious, that is not what the Warren Court was known for.

Will McCain promise to appoint the type of justices who would throw out McCain-Feingold ?

[Kolokotronis]

I’ve heard that McCain will first consult with his Kosovo Mohammedan, drug running, white slaving campaign financiers before he makes those judicial appointments. I’m sure knowing who finances McCain will make many conservatives all the more proud to support him! Yup! /s

McCain is an irrational lunatic.

He's got a nasty temper and there is no telling what he'll do next. He's totally unpredictable. Maybe he needs alittle waterboarding to straighten himself out. Yes, he is the "lessor of the two evils" but he's still evil.

This is too funny to read! You can just picture this bed wetting liberals forehead vain poppin’ out while he frantically types his rant. Sweat cascading from his brow... “Helter Skelter” playing in the background, a smoke dangling from his lip and all from his Mom’s basement.

McNut is a stone cold egotistical nut case. But what choice do we have? Don't ever forget those, even on this FR, who voiced constant complaints about the rest of the candidates.

The McCain List.
Common sense conservatism

He can say anything, but that does not make it true. McCain is known for his lies and signs of senility.

The problem with the Supreme Court is not liberal or conservative justices, in my opinion. The problem with the Constitution-ignoring USSC majority is actually the people. More specifically, ignorance of the Constitution and its history is epidemic. Widespread constitutional ignorance is evidenced by the following links.

The consequence of widespread constitutional ignorance is that the people are impotent to stop Constitution-ignoring lawmakers and judges from walking all over the people's freedoms and throwing taxpayer's money down the toilet.

Today's concern for whether majority justices are liberal or conservative got started in the days of FDR's dirty politics, in my opinion. The problems began when FDR got the Court to give the green light to his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs; the Court scandalously politically repealed 10th A. protected state powers in order to do so. By doing so FDR foolishly created a political situation where many of our congressional "leaders" go to DC to party and spend our tax dollars like drunken sailors.

And what's worse than FDR's dirty politics is that corrupt justices then began using FDR's "license" to ignore 10th A. protected state powers in state power related cases. Doing so ultimately weakened traditional family values.

This post (<-click), while addressing tax issues, provides more details as to how out-of-control federal government spending got started when FDR established his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs.

And this post (<-click) gives examples of how corrupt justices then began using FDR's "license" to ignore 10th A. protected state powers to eventually stifle traditional family values. The USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion and today's suppression of ID discussion in public school classrooms are examples of this corruption.

The truth of the matter is that, not only is the honest interpretation of the Constitution decidedly pro-conservative, but as Jefferson pointed out in general, you don't have to be in a robe to be able to interpret the Constitution. In fact, here's Jefferson's "secret formulas" for interpreting the Constitution.

"Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure." --Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823. ME 15:450

"Common sense [is] the foundation of all authorities, of the laws themselves, and of their construction." --Thomas Jefferson: Batture at New Orleans, 1812. ME 18:92

"Common sense is not so common." --Voltaire, French author, humanist, rationalist, & satirist (1694 - 1778) ;^)

The bottom line is that, instead of blaming things on Constitution-ignoring justices, the people need to reconnect with the Founder's intentions for the division of federal and government state powers. The people then need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding that the feds start respecting the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, particularly where now-ignored 10th A. protected state powers are concerned. This not only includes allowing religion-related discussions in public schools while respecting people's 14th A. protections, but also putting a stop to all constitutionally unauthorized federal spending and appropriately lowering federal taxes.
