the problem is that even the Republican judges are liberals. There is virtually no such thing as a conservative trial lawyer, and judges tend to be chosen from the ranks of trial lawyers.
The solution is dumping the two-party system in favor of the open elections envisioned by the founding fathers of this nation. Then elect conservative representives to State legislatures, and return the appointment of Senators to them.
Repeal the twelfth, sixteenth, seventeenth, twenty-third and twenty-sixth Amendments to the Constitution. Repealing a bad Amendment has precedent. Bad law helps no one but the lawyers. And ultimately, by destroying confidence in the law, it hurts them.
The only dissenter was Charles R. Wilson, a Bill Clinton appointee.
All six judges nominated by President Ronald Reagan, President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush, including William Pryor – who was recess-appointed just last year to avoid a Democratic filibuster – voted not to save Terri's life.
All six!
Does anyone really think that putting conservative judges, who are "suppose" to interpret the Constitution as Republican "constructionists", will cure the Judiciary of its activism?
...there will be no accountability for judges of either party who ignore the law.
Judges will always act as though they are above the law, and above the will of the people, no matter what party they may come from. There's no guarantee that Republican judges, appointed to federal courts or the Supreme Court, will act any better than those elitists we have there now.
Judges need to be held accountable to the Congress, and if the guys we now have in the Congress can't do the job then we need new blood that CAN handle the job.
Farah, and the emotionally disabled, are not 'we the people'.
It really makes me wonder why all the Rats are bothering to fillibuster judges at all.
The Constitution doesn't protect disabled or pre-born life. It does, however, protect the life of a 17-year old murderer. Can't you read? It's all there. Just ask the judges.
Sure, you're right. Kill Terri Schiavo. It's the law. </sarcasm>
Sure I'm right, but let's fix the law.
For some reason this little fact has been left off Sean's and Rush's talking points memo.
Very Interesting.
Theodore, I'm the guy who Joseph Farah will interview today about pro-life Republican presidents packing the federal judiciary with pro-abortion Republican judges. Please consider reading my Open Letter to James Dobson at KGOV.com (http://kgov.com/docs/OpenLtrDobsonJudges.html). Thanks, -Bob Enyart

Thanks.

Also what I've learned in recent months is that my state Senator Jim King is a liberal. Pubs voted for him so the dem wouldn't win and we ended up losing in the long run. Terri lost more than anyone else! King claims he ran as a moderate but I don't remember that and can't find his old campaign site online even via google. Frustrating for me cause I can find just about anything.

Well it won't be fixed in FL until after the next election I think. For an optimist this is not easy to accept. Sen Jim King will NoT allow "his legacy" to be unwritten.
Which amendment granted women the vote?
I say repeal that one.
Women are stupid, emotional, flighty creatures who in many cases are incapable of reason, and in the rest of the cases refuse to engage in it.
End women's suffrage! Hasn't America suffered enough?
is wnd still a reliable news source?
