Yep, the courts don’t make the laws, right? They just interpret the law.
Well, Obama’s saying he wants judges who can empathize and sympathize with people in difficult life circumstances. Which will lead to judges legislating from the bench, as they “interpret” the law to fix the ills of society from the bench.
Obama was happy with the Supreme Court ruling on Gitmo detainees. This particular law was written with previous court decisions in mind. They actually tried to bend over backwards to protect the rights of the detainees, but this wasn’t good enough for the Supreme Court. This is a good example of just throwing out a law that judges don’t like.
Well, there’s that school of thought that the Constitution is a living breathing document that has to be re-interpreted with changing times. I keep hearing examples of changes, such as how do you apply the Constitution ban against unreasonable search and seizure to the monitoring of e-mail. But the fact that we have electronic communications that the Founding Fathers couldn’t conceive of doesn’t change the underlying principles.
This keeps coming back to the worldviews of today; to the sources of Truth.
People these days have swallowed the Post-Modernist worldview to the point that there is no objective truth to them, and their “deconstructionist” beliefs make the written word absolutely meaningless.
Simply put, a Deconstructionist believes that the written word has NO meaning until the reader interprets it, and the meaning of what is written can be different for each person reading it with no contradiction.
But there's much more than even that at stake. An Obambi administration would put THOUSANDS of Rats into power.
I think it's very important to vote AGAINST Obambi and a Rat administration.
