Of course, I disagree with this Dems motives and even his evaluation of the acts of Congress, which I think were courageous, even if untimely.
And how many of those judges had the ABA stamp of approval? It goes a lot deeper.
Hmm.... Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton are fundamentalists?
I don't care what party these judges claim.....this is still outrageous. The republican judges in this case, are republican in name only.
I would love to throw out the 9 Supremes and start over. They could have done something which means they were good men who did nothing or bad men just like the bad libs on the court. Either way they should be retire.
Hell, yes. No question.
Evil is evil, no matter the clothing.
This is one cause I'm willing to give money to and time, as well.
And if/when something is started to impeach that Bush in Florida I will give money, to that cause, most especially.
He can't defend an helpless woman: No way should he even think he has what it takes to go any further in his political career.
Let him become a full fledged Democrat: That party is more in sway with his actions, if not his words.
You forgot the BARF ALERT in the title.
LOL!!!!!
A tyrant is a tyrant, and should be removed regardless of who placed them into power. Abuse is abuse and needs to be redressed.
Republicans who are acting on their conscience are bad. Democrats who sat on their hands are good!
Yep. Put them ALL on the chopping block and warm up the guillotine. Then replace them all with judges who will follow the law. Rinse and repeat as necessary until our courts produce justice.
If the judiciary is so stinking independent, why then do the Democrats insist that every judge must agree with them on the issues, especially social issues? Filibusters are PROOF POSITIVE that there is no such thing as an independent judiciary any more. When judges make law they become poltiical. It's inevitable.
What I find odd is that most people who are for murdering Terri are against abortion.
However, they will say they have a right to CHOOSE when they die. Well, if you feel that way you had best be quite about abortion, after all it is their CHOICE.
The moderates would do well to remember that the Republicans can not win without us. Us being those radical right-to-lifers.
Just a note. I have no problem with people leaving living wills, or telling their family not to keep them on a feed tube or what-have-you, but there are just too many unanswered questions surrounding Terri that it is best we err on the side of life. I mean, why did her husband wait 7 years to say Terri did not live this way?
You bet we're up to it, let the chips fall where they may. Since when does being a Rupublical exonerate one from wrong-headed decisions?
I think Constitutional law should be a required study for every elected official, to have PASSED the course naturally.
Yes, it does not matter who they vote for or who affiliate themselves with. If they are incompetent, and or overstep their constitutional bounds, remove them.
This isn't just a "liberal judge" or "activist judge" problem....this is an OVERPOWERFUL judge problem. We need to rein in the powers of the judiciary, no matter if they are left or right.
It's called RINO hunting, and I'm for it.
I hate when we give them ammunition to be used against us. His motives stink, but he's right about the facts.
Don't you know with many out there, the redeeming factor can be established by a simple (R) discovered after the offender's name?
Better get out the asbestos underwear, get ready for a flaming the likes you've never seen.
Since you joined in July, they can't call you a "newbie", or "disruptor", but they might accuse people who post such interesting articles of being a closet D.U.'er.
Of course, those less mentally-challenged and intellectually open shall debate and discuss the article on it's own merits--and there are some liberal drifts in it that are wrong. Nevertheless, the challenge is now to the Republicans. Will they indulge in quality control against the PLINOs in their midst, or will all of it be simply directed towards "the Deathocrats"?
My tagline says the rest of my sentiments here. I am very disappointed but not surprised by what the Democrats by and large did--I would expect as much from card carrying members of the Culture of Death. But, I am even more upset with those in my own Party and of those I thought to share similiar conservative sentiments, who did not do the maximum and take said action(s), or otherwise ran for cover. There are some of those around, too.
Frankly I'd not want "our guys" there under the current imbalance, they might (and many Republican appointments have turned out different than what was expected) write new laws, etc. just like liberals.
Go back to the founders. The judiciary was to be the "weak sister" branch with the executive branch holding the sword and the legislative branch holding the purse strings.
It certainly hasn't always been like this; it's said that when Andrew Jackson was told of a SCOTUS decision he replied "Fine, let them enforce it". The republic survived.
Impeachment is far too slow and tedious. I would suggest (and there is controversy if this can be done) that funding for the judiciary be cut to the bone. Let them sit home and do crossword puzzles for a year. Think they'd notice? You bet. Money talks.
There is also article III, section 2 (I think, that's from memory) that allows Congress to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts. There was legislation doing just that last year. It never got out of committee.
We need to get back to legislators writing laws and getting fired when we don't like them. Right now they can easily blame judges, we eat it up like raw meat and they get re-elected "since it's not their fault" and "we need more conservative judges".
We need Congress and the President to do their constitution duty. It won't be easy, it's been 60-70 years and they are timid but we must hold their feet to the fire on this.
