The Changing Face of the Extreme Court

Today Sandra Day O'Connor announced her resignation from the Supreme Court after nearly a quarter century of service. While I haven't agreed with many of her votes, she has always seemed to me to be a reasonably decent, thoughtful justice that used the Constitution in the way that it was intended--i.e., her decisions were based on Constitutional principles and her interpretation of it. Opposed to that is Ruth Bader Ginsberg who should have never set foot in the Supreme Court, and who believes that it is the justices responsibility to take into consideration world opinion when making a decision--something that is anathema to anyone who believes in liberty and the rule of law.

No sooner had Ms. O'Connor announced her retirement than Ted Kennedy opens his fat mouth and starts dictating what kind of judge Bush needs to appoint to the vacancy, claiming that Ms. O'connor was a "mainstream conservative" and that is the kind of person that Bush needs to appoint. Well hell, Teddy, why didn't you come through sooner with your advice? God knows that we are all just waiting to hear from your wisdom again. Please.......

First of all, Ted Kennedy wouldn't know mainstream if it hit him in the nose, and the man is so far to the left that I don't think he can make a right turn. Second, where does he get off thinking that he has ANY say as to who the President appoints? Funny, it seems to me that he ran for the presidency more than once and was soundly REJECTED by the American people on several grounds, not the least of which was his little incident at Chappaquidick. Like I've said before, Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun--but I digress. Ted stands up in front of the camera and bloviates about how the President needs to appoint a "mainstream" judge (read that as far-left liberal), and implies that all hell will break loose if he doesn't. Well, let me say something that's way too obvious: The liberals have lost the House, the Senate, and the White House, as well as most Governorships in this country. The people of this country have spoken, and by God they should be able to choose any CONSERVATIVE, Constitution-supporting justice they want. Period. Ted Kennedy and all his liberal scum in the Senate can go straight to hell as far as I care. He and his whole family are nothing but crooks, liars, and cheats, and that includes his older brother John and his father Joe. I don't care if people think that the family is some kind of royalty, it's a fact and it's proven--and anyone who denies it is either uninformed or stupid. They have been one of the biggest crime families in the history of this country, and people still fawn over them. I don't get it.

I have said many times that I'm not a big fan of GW, for a lot of reasons. He's FAR too liberal, hasn't met a spending bill he didn't like, and has exponentially added to the size of the federal government, and has failed to stand up for conservative values. However, here he has a chance to redeem himself (a little), and seek out to find some CONSERVATIVE justices that will uphold our constitution and put them into place. The leftist senators will howl and scream, but that's just TFB. We NEED to get some judges into place that will do what they're supposed to do--interpret laws by the Constitution, and STOP SHREDDING IT by their false and activist agenda. Failure to do that will result in further encroachment on our rights, probably a dissolution of the 2nd Amendment, and further fall into the abyss of tyranny that we've been heading for in the past 40 years.

God help us.
