The Courts : Yet Another Reason Why The Presidential Race Matters
We've all heard the interview in which Barack Obama described the radical Warren Court as "not that radical," and explained that the Founding Fathers' failure to incorporate "redistribution of wealth" into the Constitution meant that the document is "fundamentally flawed."
Whatever else he may do, I can guarantee you that Obama will, if given the opportunity, pack our federal courts at the district, appellate and national level with judges picked in consultation with groups like the ACLU, National Lawyers' Guild, Brady Campaign, Planned Parenthood and People for the American Way. (If you don't know, you can trust me when I tell you that these people are not your friends.)
Over the past few years, we've all read many a news story about this or that ruling by "Federal District Judge so-and-so" that just makes you go "WTF???" Nine times out of ten, you will notice that the seriously "WTF?" rulings are being handed down by judges appointed by Democrat Presidents--the kinds of judges that believe the Constitution somehow serves as an ever-flowing fountain of new and ever-expanding rights for criminals, illegal immigrants and enemies shooting at our soldiers on foreign battlefields, but ever-narrowing rights for law-abiding American citizens living right here on American soil.
Anyone who reads this blog much should know how much of a John McCain fan I'm not. I may very well be bitching like hell at half (or maybe more) of the stuff John McCain tries to do if he's elected President.
That said, there is every reason to believe that Barack Obama and his fringe left-wing associates will, if given the opportunity, BRING THE CRAZY to our Federal Courts and our case law at a level we have never before seen.
Property rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, contract rights, immigration law, election law, affirmative action...it's all fair game for the kind of radical left-wing activist judges we can expect from Barack Obama.
If there was no other reason to oppose Obama (and there are many), that one reason should be enough.
