Blahhh Blahhhh Blahhh
I am voting for Romney to get rid of that communist that is occupying the white house, and nothing you can say or do is going to change it. Get over it already. It's my vote, as it is the vote of everyone in this country who can legally vote. You want to vote for that moonbat be my guest, but don't even try to give me the "Romney is almost as bad as Obama" reason. I am not going to buy it, no matter how many times you try to claim that Obama is not as bad as he is. He clearly has displayed to me that he has no regard for the constitution and the people of this country. And others as well as I have no doubt he will appoint a liberal to the court, he certainly will not appoint a conservative, that would be stupid on his part.
Does that help you any? Or are you going to continue to try to convince someone who is not convinced that Obama is the Messiah. After all I don't care if you or others vote for him, and have no intention on changing your mind. You want to continue to discuss the wonders of the "Chosen One" be my guest but again don't expect others to agree with you.
Obama on the Supreme Court:
I have no doubt that Judge Alito has the training and qualifications necessary to serve. He's an intelligent man and an accomplished jurist. And there's no indication he's not a man of great character. But when you look at his record – when it comes to his understanding of the Constitution, I have found that in almost every case, he consistently sides on behalf of the powerful against the powerless; on behalf of a strong government or corporation against upholding Americans' individual rights.[8]
I think the Constitution can be interpreted in so many ways. And one way is a cramped and narrow way in which the Constitution and the courts essentially become the rubber stamps of the powerful in society. And then there's another vision of the court that says that the courts are the refuge of the powerless. Because oftentimes they can lose in the democratic back and forth. They may be locked out and prevented from fully participating in the democratic process. ... And we need somebody who's got the heart – the empathy – to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old – and that's the criteria by which I'll be selecting my judges.[9]
I taught constitutional law for 10 years, and . . . when you look at what makes a great Supreme Court justice, it's not just the particular issue and how they rule, but it's their conception of the Court. And part of the role of the Court is that it is going to protect people who may be vulnerable in the political process, the outsider, the minority, those who are vulnerable, those who don't have a lot of clout. . . .ometimes we're only looking at academics or people who've been in the [lower courts]. If we can find people who have life experience and they understand what it means to be on the outside, what it means to have the system not work for them, that's the kind of person I want on the Supreme Court.[10]
I want people [like Earl Warren] on the bench who have enough empathy, enough feeling, for what ordinary people are going through.
