Top 10 Things to Expect From Obama Court

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


The conservative-leaning Committee for Justice is trying to rile supporters with a “Top 10” list of things to expect from the Supreme Court should Barack Obama be elected president and appoint his desired justices.

CJ Executive Director Curt Levey wrote supporters an email Monday with the words “Obama court is a conservative nightmare” in the subject line.

“That very real possibility should frighten conservatives all the more when they consider that 1) by the end of an 8-year Obama presidency, Justices Scalia and Kennedy would be 80 years old, an age most men never reach, and 2) given the damage the Supreme Court has done to the rule of law since 1969, imagine what the Court would do if it regained a “solid liberal majority,” Levey said.

The Supreme Court is currently narrowly divided along party lines. Nearly a third of all Supreme Court decisions are decided 5-4. Any Obama-appointed justice would likely give the court a liberal preference. Given Obama’s stances on various issues, CJ compiled this list with what their group believes Obama’s appointed justices would be capable of doing:

10. Expanding and perpetuating the use of racial preferences

9. Creating new constitutional rights to physician-assisted suicide and human cloning

8. Expanding judicial oversight of military detentions and CIA interrogations

7. Prohibiting tuition vouchers for religious schools

6. Banning the death penalty

5. Requiring taxpayers to fund essentially unlimited abortion rights

4. Creating new constitutional rights to massive government welfare and medical care programs

3. Stripping "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance

2. Eroding property rights

1. Ordering all 50 states to bless gay marriage

Levey’s email was also posted on CJ’s blog .

hmm
10, 2, and 6 are just bad.

5 is partly correct, you cant force a woman to foster a foreign life. But you cant make the state pay for abortions, minus life-threatening situations for those who also qualify for government medical supplementation. This will require good legislation, but he will oversimplify the issue like his white protestant counterparts will.

4 Welfare-reform needs another reforming, but hes not the one to do it. His administration will probably do as bad and oversimplified a job as Bush's administration, only the other direction.

1 sounds made up hes more likely going to make them ACKNOWLEDGE gay marriage.

9, 8, 7, 3, and 2 I cant see anything wrong with...

I don't get it
It's unconstitutional to kill convicted murderers but it's constitutional to kill unborn babies. Will someone please explain this to me!

Don - YES WE CAN!

Liberals don't believe babies have rights... only pregnant mothers do.

In fact - if ANYONE at ANY TIME wants to get an abortion - liberals will fight for that person's right to kill the baby.

Obama's voting records:

72-hour pill - YES WE CAN!
Partial Birth Abortion - YES WE CAN!
Born Alive - let baby die - YES WE CAN!
Underage minor abortion without parental concent - YES WE CAN!
Minor crossing state line - YES WE CAN!




It really is amazing
how that document that was written in simple English in 1787 can be so completely misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Agreed!
This top 10, with the possible exception of # 6 (banning capital punishment) will, without a doubt become a reality - especially by the time Obama finishes TWO terms.

Given the fact that polls indicate that 67 to 71 percent of Americans favor capital punishment, I doubt there would total strike downs of this, but bans may come on a state-by-state basis.

# 1 will happen not by ordering all 50 states to bless gay marriage, but to strike down gay marriage bans and DOMA under the arguments of discrimination and anti-hate legislation.

# 2 will happen in the name of eminent domain and/or condemnation of property for seizure purposes.

I think # 6 should be an overturning of the 2008 Heller V DC case and with that the banning of all semi-automatic and assault weapons and the upholding of state bans on the ownership of any weapon that shoots a projectile. I'd say twelve years of liberal democratic rule and I believe it will be a crime to own a gun throughout the country.

After eight years of Obama and his "Ginsburg is my favorite justice" Court appointments and a runaway filibuster proof Democratic Congress America as we know it will cease to exist and a European Style Socialistic nation will prevail.

The sad thing is, there is really no place to move to during the eight years of Obama's socialism - except maybe New Zealand.

None of it will happen...
...without the active co-operation of some Republicans in the Senate.

Not Going To Work
Obamascare is all that's left to convince conservatives to vote for the GOP's Trojan Horse Democrat nominee. McCain agrees with the left on too many important issues, amnesty, cap and trade, gore-bull warming, etc. for me to consider voting for him. If I wanted to vote for a Democrat, I'd be a Democrat.

Not voting for amnesty, ever.

GOP-RIP

No Difference With McCain Judges
And how would this differ if McAmnesty was Pres? Not one bit, because McBush will "reach across the aisle" for appointments from the far left.

Forget what McSame says about Alito and Roberts. The Democrats will never allow McLame to appoint anyone remotely interested in upholding the Constitution. He'll have to pick people like Sandra Day O'Con-artist, Anthony Kennedy, or Stevens, super-commies all.

I never wanted to say it.
WOW!!! Now even the conservative media figures have turned to fear-mongering. All of those things listed would require the passing of bills through both the house and senate.

Now maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the supreme court merely interprets the laws. It's up to the legislative branch to make them. I'm not overly concerned with the Supreme Court for making those things a reality. Now even though I'm not an Obama supporter by any means, that's pretty low. Attempting to communicate that the entire country can be turned around by 9 people belonging to the least legislatively active branch of the government is misleading. I'd expect something like that from MSNBC, or even CNN, but not here.

Honestly Carpenter, I'm a little disappointed

Obama's Interview with Stephanopolis...
In a late January interview with ABC's George Stephanopolis, Barack Obama promised to appoint judges "who best represents the changing demands of our country in the light of a living Constitution." By that he meant, the interpretation of the Constitution should change to reflect the needs of the 21st century. When asked who he thought was a good example of a living constitutionalists he said: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg represents what I see to be the best Hegelian mind on the bench. Her rulings have been such that reflect the dialectical understanding of the synthesis between the 18th century understanding and the 21st century demands."

So we know from the outset that with Obama we will get more Ginsburgs, not and centrist like Kennedy and absolutely no one close to the likes of Alito, Roberts or Scalia. Granted it will be a crap shoot with McCain, but we know what we'll get with NObama.

Ridiculous
There is no evidence that Obama will be a far left President. Everything he has been saying indicates that he is simply a wishy-washy pragmatist who will do what it takes to stay in power, and that means coming to the center, he believes. He is solely concerned with staying in power. In other words, he won't be much worse than McCain, but he comes with the advantage that statism can be blamed for any and all of his policy screw-ups, whereas capitalism and limited government will take the fall for McCain's, even though McCain's screw-ups will be from the left. Further, the GOP will be pressured to go along with McCain's statism out of party loyalty. I can think of no faster way to completely destroy a party that is already on its last leg and is in desperate need of reform. Reform will not happen when Republicans keep capitulating to left-veering GOP pols out of fear of the opposition. At some point, that has to stop. That point in time has arrived.

You can rest assured that McCain does not intend to nominate strict constructionists. If he did, he would give us names. Since there is no such thing as a centrist on the Supreme Court - either they are consciously aware of and explicitly committed to the principles on which our country was founded, or they are de facto statists (regardless of how the media characterizes them) - McCain still has no advantage here. Next.

But keep shilling for McCain, Ms. Carpenter. Because conservatives are keeping a tally of who is standing firm on their principles and who looks the other way.

Jacob
Hi, Jacob -- I think the point here is that if a liberal congress passes bills in these areas, the Obama Supreme Court will uphold.

The real danger here is having all three branches of government in the hands of one party.

Plus
The court will enslave all white people including themselves(white guilt) plus Install Islamic Law although they separated church from state.

sad
Scare mongering will not work with cons.

McCain can't nominate a strict constitutionist lest his McCain-Feingold bill be deemed unconstitutional against free speech.

Try again.

Jacob

You wrote, "Now maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the supreme court merely interprets the laws."

When a 5-4 ruling squeaks by defending the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, there are BIG problems with justices on the SCOTUS.

Justices like Ginsburg want to disregard the US Constitution and look to foreign countries for legal guidance.

THIS justice, Ginsburg, is the one Obama likes!

McCain Called Ginsburg Highly Qualified
.

Wendy ... sorry but you're wrong...

You wrote, "There is no evidence that Obama will be a far left President. Everything he has been saying indicates that he is simply a wishy-washy pragmatist who will do what it takes to stay in power..."


No Evidence??

Obama's entire voting history as a State Legislator and US Senator IS evidence.

Or are you the type of voter inclined to believe Obama's WORDS (which have been terribly inconsistent) over his ACTIONS when he voted?

Oh, And
McCain voted to confirm Ginsburg. Has his friend Ted Kennedy ever voted to confirm a GOP nominated jurist?

well, buy a helmet ex-wyoming
Were you scared when McCain fought hard against the nuclear option against our domestic enemies the Dem/libs? Were you scared of the Gang o' 14? Were you scared when McCain helped block the federal judges? Speaking of hate, how bout McCain did all of this because he hates W and he hates Cons?

We've had terrible Presidents and terrible SJC before, don't be scared - we can fix things in 2010 and 2012.

The Second Amendment
Bye, Bye !!

Virginia Patriot
I just checked McCain's voting record from 1993 and, although he did vote for Ginsburg's confirmation" so did all but two Republicans. That was because she refused to say how she would rule on issues. In fact, according to the records from the Senate Judiciary Committee when interviewing her, she answered directly only one in eleven questions!! She answered indirectly to three in ten. Than means 63% of the questions posed to her went unanswered.

Her confirmation hearing went down into history as the most avoidant ever. In fact, the way she presented herself in her hearings has been used by a countless number of nominees to the federal courts, both conservative and liberal. Avoiding answering any controversial issues (which are many). It's called "The Ginsburg Precedent."

ex-Wyomingite
From what I had been reading in your posts, you are angry with Wendy, Virginia Patriot and others because they are holding true to their beliefs. You go ahead and sell yourself out and vote for McCain if you want. Not everyone in the party feels that the world will end if they do not vote for McCain.

Not everyone is as afraid as you appear to be!

Obama Justices
I don't think this is a complete list. One merely needs to look at the type of cases that the ACLU files to know what another liberal justice would support. Look at Ginsberg, who was council for the ACLU.

The ACLU attempted to protect the rights of NAMBULA to use the internet to train child molesters how to comit the crime with out being caught.

And to think, the ACLU is funded by our tax dollar.

ex-Wyomingite
That's tough talk from a sell out lemming like yourself. You stand for little so you are willing to settle for anything.

I am far to young to do any mumbling but I am part of a big enough groundswell to make you notice. Go build yourself a bunker just in case BHO pulls it off.

Rationalizations for Obama

The complex process the human mind uses to arrive at decision-making has been the topic of many volumes.

One consensus that is generally held is the human mind can justify any decision and any action that it takes.

Rationalization is the mortal enemy of facts, logic and reason.

Rationalization is in ‘simple’ terms, a defense mechanism that attempts to explain bad decisions or behavior in a rational logical manner.

Rationalizing that a vote for any candidate that cannot win is not a vote for Obama gives us a prime example of rationalization.

Rationalizing that a ‘symbolic’ vote will teach the major parties a lesson contrasts the reality of their premise that the major parties ‘do not know what they are doing’ and ‘haven’t learned from the past’.

Teaching 'Politicians' a lesson is oxymoronic at best - Obama-Followers will vote for Obama regardless. Third party votes at this time in history, is simply a 'proxy' vote for Obama that gives one a feeling of 'superior' Patriotism, I guess.

Rationalizing that ones closely held principles trump the safety and wellfare of America and its citizens is little different from those who want America destroyed.

Those who say we need to return to the Constitution that many Americans have left or attempted to destroy will be best accomplished by giving those Americans their desires and wishes is akin to giving children matches and gasoline.

The children will surely learn a lesson if survival succeeds in overcoming the odds.

Rationalizing that an Obama presidency will be good for America in the long run defies facts, logic and reason.

Retired Geek
While you were busy teaching us about the rationalizations for Obama you missed a few things.

You were good to provide several examples of rationalizing during your post. While doing so you were guilty of utilizing a few cognitive distortions to make your point.

Those you utilized were as follows:
All or nothing thinking
Mental filter
Overgeneralization
Fortune teller error

The example you stated that was most easily exposed was the following. "rationalizing that ones closely held principles trump the safety and welfare of America and its citizens is little different from those who want America destroyed.

That is an amazing statement to make from a person who is attempting to lecture others about the topic of rationalization.

we will never get rid of preferential tx
This is a dead issue. Every state and the federal government uses a system to give preferential treatment to groups such as high caste Indians, the Spanish and Portuguese, rich tribal sub-Saharan Africans at the expense of groups like the Irish, Sorbs, Lemkos, Tartars and Estonians who, in fact, suffered heavy discrimination (sometimes death) over the past several hundred years.

History makes no difference to these people. They are simply bigots who believe all whites are evil.

Far Left Democratic Congress and Obama
"Sacrifice for the Common Good" Barack Obama

Chinese Communists murdered 62 million people in the implementation of their rallying call, 'Serve the people,'

Soviet Communists murdered more than 60 million people in the implementation of Karl Marx's slogan, 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.'
------------------------------------------------

Why did governments murder people for the 'Common Good' - certainly the people being murdered didn't think it was for the 'Common Good'.

Those citizens who wanted to pursue the right to personal freedom and self determination stood in the way of the 'Common Good' for all.

What will happen to you and your children if you do not want to participate in "Sacrifice for the Common Good"?

It can not happen in America you say?

Over 100,000,000 dead didn't think it could happen in their Country.

Reality is difficult to face - reality causes people to say "This is Nothing but Scare Tactics".


Weakening America for the 'Common Good'

Rationalizing that ones closely held principles trump the safety and wellfare of America and its citizens is little different from those who want America destroyed.

This election is not about Republican or Democrat, rather it is about the American way of life.

Problem solvers assay the facts and with reason and logic make a decision.

Those blinded by ideology and emotion draw lines in the sand and say that is the best solution for the problem.

Vote your conviction of weakening America for the 'Sacrifice For The Common Good' of your ideology or vote for what is the in the best interests of All Americans.

Who Was this Man?

What is important about the phrase by Obama "Sacrifice For The Common Good".
------------------------------------------------

A National Socialist Party demanded this phrase "COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD".

This National Socialist Party made these demands:

"Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed."

"We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood."

"We demand the nationalization of all trusts."

"We demand profit-sharing in large industries."

"We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose."

"We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare."
------------------------------------------------

A man who had never held a job, a man who had never accomplished anything other than organize others.

This man gave a speech at a gathering of 2000 - he was not a leader but a worker - the speech he gave that day changed the world forever.

Who was this man?

Defying facts, logic and reason

Many will vote to teach politicians a lesson.

Politician Lesson is a true oxymoron.

Conservatives that will come in and clean up behind Obama - I have a question for you?

How well is your cleaning process doing on cleaning up Social Security?

How well is your cleaning process doing on cleaning up the 'War on Poverty'?

How about posting some facts for the rest of us on how well your 'clean up process' works!

Those of you who are disgusted with empty promises - share with us some of your success stories on cleaning up behind liberals or are those empty promises also?

10 Things I'd Expect From Obama Court:
1st: I'd expect Obama to let the economy totally shipwreck, then rebuild it as something socialist by joining the UN world order.

2nd: I'd expect William Ayers and Bernadine Dorn to be regular visitors to the White House.

3rd: I'd expect people who view America like Wright, Pfleger, Michelle, Weathers Underground, Louis Farrahkan, etc. to be appointed to Obama's cabinet; blame America first.

4th: I'd expect ANY criticism of Barry's presidency and policies to be called "racist." Racism will be the new excuse for defending Obama's failures.

5th: I'd expect REAL 2nd Amendment restrictions to start dropping across the nation. Socialists and communists must take possession of our guns to totally conquor American citizens. Civil war issue; possibly one traditional American will have to fight, without Charleton Heston.

6th: I'd expect the "fairness doctrine" to emerge full force; they need to silence opposition so Hannity, Limbaugh, Levin, etc. must be silenced. All MSM all the time on all the channels.

7th: I'd expect our taxes to rise to the point of causing a depression greater than anything we have seen in American history. Ghost towns.

8th: I'd expect our enemies to hit America full force, and I'd expect Obama to panic in indecision. When Obama finally does act, it will be to try to negotiate a peaceful surrender to their terms.

9th: I'd expect to have to die; conversion to Islam is not an option for us.

10th: I'd expect America and our freedom to be gone, and I'd expect misery for everyone, shore to shore, border to border.


I know the TOP 6
Obama has said it here several times and around the WORLD::

1. Ration: everything:: heat, lights, food, gas, transportation, cooling, and health care (as in Medicare and VA care)

(no drilling no nuke plants no clean coal, etc.

2. Mandatory Community service (now everyone in the world must perform community service he dictated to the World from Germany)

3. OPEN borders around the WORLD

4. SHARE:: EVERYTHING! :: EQALLY!: strip the rich and prudent of every penny and redistribute it around the WORLD:

5. USA disarm Unilaterally he declared:::
(see his speeches)

6. Regulate earnings of the successful and give it to the parasites: EQUAL SHARES


SO Putin keeps drilling pumping and laughing his head off
so ARABS keep pumping and cashing in
so HUGO keeps pumping and buying (nukes that is)


"change" twisting the facts every day:
# 1. "change" twist the facts EVERY DAY
instead of every OTHER DAY:

continue to "HOPE" the voters are too stupid and too gullible to notice:

# 2. Hope NO one in the corrupt Press becomes ambitions and tries to out do Woodword and Bernstein:

the article's mostly ridiculous
the comments mostly redonkulous.

bad job THers!

Crazy, crazy for feeling . . .

Well, this column

strikes me as simply more of the same-old same-old: don't elect McRINO and the Universe will come to an end.

How is electing Amnesty Juan going to be a guarantee of anything? After all, Kennedy, Souter, O'Connor, and Stevens were all appointed by Republicans.

If Republican appointments were a guarantee of anything, we'd have a 7-2 ideological split of the Court as 7 -- yes SEVEN -- of the sitting Justices were GOP appointees.


Are we still living in the Dark Ages?
"By the end of an 8-year Obama presidency, Justices Scalia and Kennedy would be 80 years old, an age most men never reach."

If most men still do not reach the age of 80 in the 21st century, SHAME ON US ALL!

This is why I cannot support McCain unless he removes President Bush's Council on Bioethics. The very idea that our grandchildren will not or should not enjoy longer lifespans than we do is repugnant.

Obama may not need judges for this
Looking at the type of numbers Obama may have on his side in the House and Senate, he may not even need liberal, activist Supreme Court justices for much of these.

I've heard rumors that one of Obama's first legislative targets will be the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits abortionists from reaching into the pocketts of taxpayers to subsidize their "businesses", i.e. the culture of death.

But Obama will have his justices in place to overturn this just in case probably, just as soon as vacancies let him. Pretty scary stuff, one of the big reasons I am voting for McCain.

He may not be great, but he's much better than Nobama.

Okay folks...
Some of the stuff here wreaks of paranoia, and it makes conservatives look ridiculous. Enough with the America-will-die-if-Obama's-elected nonsense.

His possible justice appointees DO scare me. If we can't depend on conservative presidents to appoint constructionist judges, God help us with a hyper-liberal president. But I say that some of the posts are over the top because Obama, in spite of his claims to the contrary, is a very typical politician. In fact, he's just a male version of Hillary: i.e., he's chameleon. Some of the things he'd wanna do would get overwhelming reaction from the American public and he'd back down to keep his job.

That all being said, I'm going with the odds and voting for McCain.

Re: "I don't get it"
"It's unconstitutional to kill convicted murderers but it's constitutional to kill unborn babies. Will someone please explain this to me!"

The former is a supposed morally "superior" attitude on how to deal with criminals. The latter is about encouraging and trying to justify sexual promiscuity. Sorry, I know that won't fly with some women, but that's the way I see that.

The debate to end ALL debates !
May sound ridiculous, BUT, how many of you are willing and ready to share a public restroom with someone from the opposite sex? Guys? Want a female in the stall next to you? Ladies? Sounds totally unconnected to the argument, BUT, when Governor Ritter, Colorado, and the state legislation can be bought off by someone pouring millions of dollars into the elections, does our vote even count?
SB 200: Colorado law opens "public accommodations" - including public restrooms - to members of the opposite sex. In the name of protecting trans-gendered individuals from discrimination, Colorado has paved the way for sexual predators to take advantage of the confusion caused by this law - and endanger women and children.

FORCED LEGISLATION by OUR REPRESENTATIVES!
BE PREPARED IN YOUR STATE as this law DOES affect YOU. A key person, TIM Gill, Denver, CO, considered one America's richest and powerful person is promoting these kinds of laws across the US and winning! Colorado is only the start. There IS an agenda, with finances and resources, to make this happen nationwide. Follow the money trail.

Dear Lili . . .
. . . re: your Post at #46 (5:34-am) . . .

If what you say is true, then the Colorado Legislators are IDIOTS!!

. . . "discrimination against trans-gendered people???" Good grief, what's next?? Toilets hung from the ceiling to accommodate TALL people?? Or tiny little toilets placed six-inches off the floor to accommodate dwarfs and midgets?

I think Colorado legislators have their minds in the toilet!!!

It is not fear-mongering
to consider a "what-if" scenario, especially when it is firmly based on the writings or rhetoric of the candidate.
Obama himself proclaims that he is a blank screen onto which people project their dreams or some such liberal BS.

The man is not qualified in any way for this office other than he is over 35.

He sees himself as an elite in the European mold, forgetting that the founders pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to a revolution to escape that sort of government. We have had the finest country ever devised by man because of those men and yet bambi wants to "change" it into something else, but never quite lets us in on the secret.

This guy is dangerous, no-one has a crystal ball, but to roll the dice with this guy with all the threats against our country and his plans to raise taxes when any economist will tell you that will kill the economy and his opposition to any sort of drilling or nuclear power is just plain stupid.

Wait a minute. Take a breath.
There's probably no one who dislikes Obama more than I do but remember, a President can only do what congress will let him do. These guys have to get re-elected. They all remember 1994,and their not going to want this to happen again. This country is pretty much center and would vote out anyone who goes off the deep left end. I have to believe this to keep my sanity.

What Supreme Court?
A poll reported on Fox News last week said that only 7% of the likely voters ranked the Supreme Court as the most important presidential campaign issue. I would wager that a good portion of the other 93% probably doesn't even know the Supreme Court exists.

weird....
5 is partly correct, you cant force a woman to foster a foreign life ???????

What kind of comment is that? Short of being abducted and made pregnant by aliens from outer space - what kind of "foreign life" are you referring to?

Thoughts to Ponder

(#1) Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to our children for them to do the same.

(#2) That is, of course, handed on to those future generations who are not aborted!

foreign life
Pro-abortion folks can't have it both ways--"foreign life" or "part of a woman's body". An unborn baby is neither "foreign life" or a "part of a woman's body". From the very MOMENT of conception, he/she is a new individual with his/her unique DNA. He/she is definitely human, not a puppy or kitten, and is as deserving of protection as any other human being.

If Obama Wins...
... they may as well replace the words “Equal Justice Under Law” which appear over the Court's main entrance with "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

The Bottom Line
There is only one question pertinent to all your postings on this subject; are any of you prepared to do whatever is required to stop the inevitable over-throw of the U.S. Constitution???
The Founders of this Nation implicitly warned that if "We The People" ever lost the love of Freedom, Justice and Liberty, this present day reality we face, would be the result. Rhetoric won't change any of the criminalities that have been inflicted upon the American System of Government. Fact: SCOTUS is guilty of treason against the American people; as is a majority of Congress; as are the majority of the Executive Branch. This has been true for decades. Most of you don't take that treason personally. That's why we are in these straits.
If it is to be corrected, it will be done by the actions of those few Patriots that are willing to put everything they are and everything they own in the line of fire.
"When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can't help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup."
Thomas Sowell 1 May 2007

Mr. Sowell - could very well be correct. If it comes to that extremity; guess I'd have to help the military, myself.

D. Cleveland

Let's not forget:
11) Extending the "right" of abortion to beyond birth, perhaps all the way until the "fetus" is of the age of majority.

12) Granting of voting rights to all people on Earth, after all if non-citizen terrorists in Gitmo have US Constitutional rights, what is the justification for denying the rest of the people on Earth?

13) Declaring water a "pollutant" (SCOTUS declared CO2 a "pollutant" based solely upon the fact that it is a greenhouse gas. While CO2 accounts for a mere 2 or 3% of the total greenhouse effect, water vapour accounts for over 75% of the greenhouse effect on Earth).

14) Summarily declaring the entire Constitution unconstitutional. They've been saying parts of the Constitution are unconstitutional for decades. A solid "liberal" court will just summarily do what they've been trying to do all along and trash the entire thing.

One more to the list....
Upholding any judicial challenge to the repeal of the 22nd amendment. Don't think for a minute that Obama's gaffe about expecting to deal with these world leaders for the next "8 to 10 years" was a gaffe at a all. Look at the examples; the faux presidential seal, all of the Marxist/Stalinist print material, wanting to speak at the Brandenburg gate, painting over the American flag on his plane with the Obama seal, the list goes on and on.... Somewhere in their playbook is the hail mary play of repealing the 22nd amendment so his regime can stay in power indefinitely. All of the signs of his campaign point to this sense of entitlement and wordly authority. Wake up people...this man cannot be elected!!!!

Don:
We are looking at a likely filibuster-proof senate next year and for some time to come. Couple that with an 8-year Obama presidency, at least three or four justices retiring during that time, peoples' short memories, and their just not caring (see my post #50), and you have a much more liberal/Leftist court for decades.

End of a great nation.
I fear for the country my grasndsons will be forced to "grow up" in under Obammanomics and his Liberal Socialist agenda. His training background by Communist sympathyzers is really starting to show through. He wants to down size America and make us more like European wimps. Wake up AMERICA.

Dems love to Dictate....................
parradiddle kid said it best, End of a Great Nation', if BO is elected. And with all the adds against bo, you would think that the average American, Liberal or Conservative would catch on, that BO, no matter how strong is bad for you and should be cleansed from your body and senses.
BHO, which should not be mistaken for the network with simmilar initals and simmilar poor tastes in programs sometimes.
BHO is just poor hygene and a fouls smell of no specific program or plan to deal with anything except repeat himself.

ruth bader ginsburg
should be tried for treason. she violated her oath of office when she announced that her supreme court decisions would be based on "international law". Note that I did not capitalize the traitor's name nor did I address her with her "title".

the soapbox--not working (remember McCain-Feingold)

the ballot box--universal voter fraud by democrats--ID not required to vote--vote often

the jury box--jury nullification outlawed by statute--unconstitutional and violates common law

the cartridge box???

Culture of Death
I bet you thought the subject denoted Islam didn't you? Wrong! They don't call our Islamic think alikes Deathocrats for nothing.

An Obama appointed U.S. Supreme Court would pretty much do us in as a nation instituted by our godly founders.

Growing old would be something to fear instead of look forward to. An Obama presidency reminds me of a movie made about 40 years ago about a young president that put to death everyone over 30. Could it be that whoever wrote the book that inspired the movie had great prescience.

The Turban Torpedo

Get Rid of the Supreme Court
Get Rid of the Supreme Court and it won't matter who is President - the liberal fascists will no longer be able to use the court to get what they can;'t get from American voters - international totalitarian marxism.
Get Rid of the Supreme Court!!

Get Rid of the Supreme Court!

Get Rid of the Supreme Court!

Get Rid of the Supreme Court!

Get Rid of the Supreme Court!

Couple of Deep Breaths
Please take a couple of deep breaths - there that feels better!

Please remember that the Supreme Court's job is to ensure Equal Rights and Equal Protection for ALL citizens and that is supposed to be based on "law and the constitution" and not "religion".

We would likely be as we were 100 years ago if the Supreme Court did not exist.

I see repeal of the 22nd amendment mentioned in a post above. Where does this even come from?

There is NO way he or anyone else could do this and I think we all know that, nor would he try!

I see abortion mentioned above as well. I myself take a "center" perspective on this. What I mean is that if a woman gets pregnant through CHOICE and then suddenly changes her mind I can absolutely agree that there should be very strict time limits in which she can get an abortion if at all! HOWEVER, what about a woman who is "raped"? Absolutely NO ONE has a right to force her to have the child - in this case she has an absolute RIGHT to get an abortion.

I mention this because I have talked to many people who feel there should be NO exceptions - that even in this case she should be forced to carry the fetus to term!

I just listed a couple of examples. The point is that the Supreme Court has a job to do and we as a country are better off because of it...
