The battle of ideas of Judicial philosophy should have been fought years ago. It is time to win it once and for all. The Supreme Court is not a social arbiture of what seems good at the time, it is a court that is to protect the Constitution. The court should have a voery focused, limited roll in gov't.

This is why Meirs was so bad. She might have voted the "right way" but she would not be able to understand the Constitutional reasons why she made the "right decision".

The fight should be fun.

May be a great day for Conservatives, but it could be a lousy day for Americans.

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Sentence by sentence that is just all wrong, Mike! (Surprised, huh?)


"The battle of ideas of Judicial philosophy should have been fought years ago."

Nope, it was won! -- By the liberals. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif


"It is time to win it once and for all."

Nope. If Roe v Wade and other crap is overturned, then, just like you convervatives, we liberals will be trying for the day in the future that it turns over again. Nothing set by the Supreme Court is in stone.

Or if it is, it's only limestone. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif


"The Supreme Court is not a social arbiture of what seems good at the time."

LMAO! Ok, that's the stupidest thing I've heard since the last time Brad posted at The Zoo. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif

Of course Supreme Court rulings blow with the social winds of time!!!! ... And thank God!

Without such, the Constitution would have been a sad old piece of paper stodgily trapped in time when we had 13 states, shot muskets and had a population of, I dunno, 100th the size?

It is this very thing that adds flexibility to our laws and to the Constitution itself and that makes it a living, breathing, viably working document over the course of time!

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Especially for those of us Americans with a uterus.

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Well said. Bravo :clapping:

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Drav most of the abuses in the law has come from activist judges who find punumbras in the Constitution. I am sure you would have supported Dredd Scott decision as well.

I am pro abortion. I think there should be more of it, but lets face it. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says its legal or illegal. The Constitution leaves it to the States and Legislative body to determine these issues.

Judicial activism is bad all around!!

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Oh and Drav, you slay me with your catchy lines like:

How will I sleep at night knowing this.... HAHAHA

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

So tell me, Mike ... what besides Row do you consider "judicial activism"?

What about Brown v Topeka?

Miranda?

Gideon?

Enlighten us commoners ...

I'll reserve judgement until I hear from him at the hearings.

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

TE...gets points for reserving judgement. I like that sort of thing. :)
PD...gets points for bringing up actual cases, even if he can't spell "Roe." :)
Red...gets points for what she's feeling right now. :)
Dravyk...gets points for a well thought out post. Reading the Constitution, you discover that for purposes of the census, blacks are counted as something like 1/5 of a person. Native Americans aren't counted at all. I'm rather glad that whole situation has changed with the times...as much as it has. :)
MikeAI...gets points for having the courage of his convictions. I admire that. :)

I would like to make one small comment. I don't believe that anyone is "pro abortion." Abortion is a severely traumatic, last resort, difficult decision made by women at the worst moments of their lives. No matter how deeply convinced you are that live "begins" at birth and not before, when you are sitting in a waiting room...it takes everything you have to hold on to your decision and pray you're making the correct one, no matter how much logic and rational thought you have applied to your life situation. "Pro choice" is a much better term to describe the process.

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Well, how you sleep at night with your conviction that the republicans
are the greatest thing ever I dont know, but I can see how you can
sleep despite of Dravyk's line.

Dont you also think it's rather curious that no one actually likes Bush other than the redneck Americans? And no, trust me, if you had been outside the US for more than 2 weeks at a time, you'd know it wasn't because of jealousy, it's because a large part of the Western countries are politically sane (not talking about anything not related to politics here tho :D)

LOL! Glad you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them, Mike. ;)

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!

how cool i get to see airforce one (cause i really could care less about bush)...


already protesters are lining up waiting to call him names and crap.

Re: Great day for Conservatives!!
 

Actually I am PRO Abortion, and last nights trick or treating only strengthened that.

I will go as far to say I am in favor of MANDITORY abortions.

Too many non parents having kids.

While he's there, you might want to explain to him that he's not in New Orleans and the canal is not where the levee broke. :blink:
