First of all, if it's a liberal cause, the SCOTUS is certainly willing to hear a case "about one woman" - such as Roe v. Wade, which certainly set a monstrous precedent we still live with today. But heaven forbid SCOTUS actually be used to bring about some conservative good. And this is not a "narrow" case at all - it's about someone's life for starters, and there will be a definite precedent set about whether murder by judiciary is going to be permitted or not. And if it's a death penalty case - only affecting one person - then the SCOTUS is certainly willing to take the matter up.
You claim to be against activist judges but you accept the main premise of judicial activism - that a law is a law because someone in a black robe says so, and that following the Rule Of Law means kowtowing to whatever the black-robed dictator says. No. Fighting judicial activism means fighting it (imagine that!) and actually opposing them. Failure to do so is not to accept the rule of law, but, rather the rule of men, completely unbound by either higher human law (e.g. the Constitution) or Divine law. This is tyranny. And now we have the extreme of raw power, where a judge can order a woman's death. Such "laws" are not laws at all, deserve no respect, and only contempt.
Then you accept the idea of "moral equivalency" between the left and the right, as though the worst evil were "judicial activism" itself, rather than what it is being used for. Moreover, liberals are not bound by such niceties like theoretical questions about what is the proper role of the judicial branch. They'll do anything to get their agenda through. Do I favor "judicial activism" if necessary to save a woman's life? HELL YES!!!! We're not "having it both ways". We're having it the right way. And as for "breaking the law", if the "law" (meaning, really, the dictates of someone in black robes) mandates the killing of the innocent then the law ought to be broken.
With attitudes like yours we would still be swearing allegiance to the British monarch. Cowards like you make me sick. We are dealing with tyranny here. And tyrants must be opposed. To quote someone else, I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. And those who prefer wealth and material comforts to the blessings of liberty, may posterity forget you were our countrymen.
Wow, great rant. Too bad it was totally insane.
So vince Dude, after that post and your give me liberty or death...just how is it you plan to die in pursuit of your stand against tyranny.
Me thinks you are full of hot air my dear. Like alot of people on this thread seeing this as the end of the republic, willing to turn on a decent man who is president and in general promoting a kind of separatism of themselves from the larger country we live in.
Spot on.
The Roe decision was the first thing that flashed through my mind!
Oh, maybe for the purposes of making law so babies could get killed, the mother and any present/past/future killed baby was part of the count.
Here's Vince, throwing up over something one of the class posters of this website--PhiKapMom--says.
More from Vince:
There's no polite way to put it. Following your advice will hasten the ruin of the nation. It's time to stop bringing knives to gunfights.
PhiKapMom is, inadvertently, advocating the ruin of the nation!!!!
Yo, Vince!! Are you typing from Pinellas County? Or are you in your basement?
