However, Romney demonstrated what kind of judges he will appoint when he was governor.
He sought out feminists and radical homosexual groups in his judicial selection process. He was inconsistent in his pronouncements on judicial activism, allowing it to occur under his watch while both supporting and opposing it.
What sort of attorneys would he name to his Justice Department? As Governor, his Chief Legal Counsels advised him to implement unconstitutional policies: implementing gay marriage without legislative authorization, and forcing Catholic hospitals to dispense morning-after abortion pills.
The Romney campaign’s rebuttal to this is that he appointed only lower level state judges and never had the opportunity to appoint judges to the state’s most important courts.
Yet while implying that he might have done something different had he made those appointments, they didn’t say so.
I am reminded of a company that provided “honor system” bagels to its employees, then after noticing how some of them weren’t paying, put a discreet camera on the bagels. Their Human Resources department was shocked to discover that every one of the employees who stole bagels was already suspected of other offenses, from petty theft to outright embezzlement.
If Romney abused the power of a governor’s office, it is almost certain that he would do so if elected president.
If Obama was reelected with a Republican congress, they would fight him every inch of the way. But if Romney is elected, he will cement everything Obama has done.
Well said. We need conservative (and not just Republican) control of both the House and the Senate. It would be nice to have a conservative President, but if the choice is between a Leninist socialist (Obama) and a Fabian socialist (Romney), I will skip that section of the ballot.
