I hope that President Bush sends JRB up as his FIRST nomination to SCOTUS!! I'd LOVE to watch the 'Rats try and rip her up in the committee hearing! Something tells me that she'll slap them down ten times harder than Ollie North did in the Iran-Contra hearings. 'Rats trash a great black female justice of faith? Think THAT would play in the black community! No; the 'Rats would be crushed bewteen the Radical Left and the black community! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You beat me to the punch!
Religious views properly may be a part of every judge's personal life but they should have no role in the conduct a trial or hearing when that judge puts on the black robe. Impartiality and dispassion are the very core of every judge's oath. This nominee has already indicated that her judicial integrity is jeopardized by her predisposed views.
For those who are inclined to flame with a discourse on the need for her traits in the judiciary, I pose a rhetorical question: How comfortable would you be and how would your respect for the judiciary be enhanced by knowing that your case is being presented to a judge who is inclined to impose on your case her own fervently held moral and religious views that may be contrary to your own for which she has already pubicly expressed disdain? The trust we place in our judges begins with our faith in their fairness and objectivity in every case, not just in those in which they hold no personal doctrine. Of course, the contrary is true.
Our President is a coward at heart. He will only do what is politically expedient at the time and what benefits illegal immigrants. His DNA is upper east coast, elite country club Republican.
For me he has been a tremendous disappointment in his second term.I don't think he has the heart to fight for any nomination.
I like your thinking!
