What guarantee do we have that Romney would nominate a true Constitutional conservative to the court? What kind of judges did he appoint in Mass? Do we have any idea what Romney’s judicial philosophy is?
No guarantees. However, it could’nt be worse than Kagan and the “wise latina.”
Romney’s court appointments were disappointing in Massachusetts. Then again, unlike a one paragraph rant on FR, he had to get his appointments through the state legislature that was very liberal. I have not taken the time to research all of his appointments, nor do I feel compelled to do so.
I know what Obama will appoint. I suspect Romney will appoint someone closer to Justice Kennedy than Justice Scalia. Like I said above.... the fact that Kennedy still has a heartbeat is the only thing that saved the 2nd Amendment in the Heller vs DC case. It was that close. Much to my surprise, I think SCOTUS even went beyond what many of us hoped for in upholding our right to own firearms.
We are 100% certain who Obama will appoint. We can at least hope for something better if we defeat Obama. The value of that single vote has never been more important in my opinion.
There is the problem of mittens. With mittens the gop-e will pass the nominations through to the Supreme Court and America and our children lose. Should a Conservative not emerge and pick the nominees for the Supreme Court, the court is lost. With a rebellion there is a chance, though it may be slim to none to stop zer0 with a republican held Senate. Maybe / Maybe Not. With mittens the Supreme Court will go the way zer0 would send it and the republicans will willing go hand in hand with the myth of mittens (imho America is at a lose / lose moment without Americans stand up and say NO).
See post #78 where Idaho_Cowboy explains it.
We do know a great deal about Romney by his actions as Governor if MA, the terrible judges he appointed, his creating RomneyCare, the model Ibama used for his planned takeover of the healthcare industry.
Romney is a Statist, same as Obama. Statism inevitably leads to tyranny,
Romney has no vision for America, except the establishment Statist vision.
Death by firing squad or death by a thousand cuts? The Constitution is still dead.
