“The sickness of what liberals have done to America is that so many citizens – even conservative citizens – seem to believe the job of a Supreme Court justice entails nothing more than “voting” on public-policy issues. The White House considers it relevant to tell us Miers’ religious beliefs, her hobbies, her hopes and dreams. She’s a good bowler! A stickler for detail! Great dancer! Makes her own clothes!
That’s nice for her, but what we’re really in the market for is a constitutional scholar who can forcefully say, “No – that’s not my job.”
We’ve been waiting 30 years to end the lunacy of nine demigods on the Supreme Court deciding every burning social issue of the day for us, loyal subjects in a judicial theocracy. We don’t want someone who will decide those issues for us – but decide them “our” way. If we did, a White House bureaucrat with good horse sense might be just the ticket.” –Ann Coulter
How is it that a decision made by a Republican president to be approved by a Republican Senate, and to sit on a court where 7 of the 9 justices were picked by Republicans, and it is the liberals fault.
It is liberals, not conservatives, that profess to hold a ‘living constitution’ judicial philosophy. A philosophy that puts too much power into the hands of judges.
yawn.
