Not a laughing matter. If the Republicans cannot put more Scalia-like jurists on benches all over America now, when they enjoy tremendous political advantages during times when gay marriages are being forced down our throats and the pledge of allegiance is declared unconstitutional, then there really is no hope for better times ahead for the party, and I will be done supporting Republican politicians.
That's what I meant by my line being drawn in the sand. If they can't accomplish what needs to be accomplished to stop the filibusters, end judicial tyranny, stop reliance on foreign jurisdictions when interpreting our own Constitution, and stop ridiculous judicial activists taking the place of our elected representatives, then a paradigm shift will be best for the good ol' US of A.
I am intimately familiar with the judiciary and its importance. The good news is that after 50 years of knowing next to nothing about the power of the judiciary to shape our society and have a more profound effect on the the everyday lives of Americans than any other branch of government, Republicans are finally beginning to understand. That's why this event is so critical - we need to utilize our political advantage now by generating the necessary momentum to get jurists seated who will do what judges are supposed to do - interpret existing laws instead of making new ones.
Thank you, Kryptonite!
Just in:
$20 from Wisconsin - "Stop the filibusters! End judicial tyranny!"
$50 from Texas - "...While I can not be with with you on April 7th, in body..I will be with you in spirt!"
Thank you, Wisconsin and Texas!!
I hear you. The same goes for me. I agree 150%. The more Scalia's on the bench the better. Quite frankly, I'm sick of rhinocerous behavior. It's bravo sierra and it has to go.
Now, as for my remark about "a line in the sand." I was merely being my normal self: An smart alpha sierra sierra.
I don't take this issue lightly, nor do I take any conservative issues lightly. I swore ten years ago, thanks to Rush, to live by those principles handed down by our Founding Fathers and followed by Russell Kirk, Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and thousands of conservatives across the nation.
At my age, knowing I have a good fifty years to fight socialism is an uplifting thought. And maybe, just maybe in my lifetime, we can have an America that returns to those principles pre-New Deal.
