That's what happens when RINOs are elected. Dems and RINOs have been eroding our Constitutional Rights for decades. More and more people are waking up, though, as it has been getting worse.
If obama were to chose the best person to serve our country, the nomination would be approved, however obama would only chose the best person to further his own agenda, not the best person to serve the country..
You're talking about obama here, the man who hates America and the constitution, he would never do anything for the betterment of the country.. He never has so far, why would he change now??
Obama thought the Warren Court didn't go far enough...
Obama in a Chicago Public Radio (WBEZ) interview in 2001:
Quote:
"If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the Court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf"
Obama wants a Supreme Court that "breaks free from the constraints of the Constitution"* in order to force federal and state governments to redistribute wealth and impose political and economic justice in society (as he sees it).
* That, in itself, is a violation of his Presidential Oath of Office.
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
There are amoral, corrupt people on both sides of the aisle. Rowland is probably one of the most corrupt Governors who has ever served in any state. He probably would need a lot of time on the couch to determine the true root of his behavior.....likely need to go back into childhood...which obviously was before he was a registered Republican.
Your comment also doesn't make the quote any less true. His point was about the court itself...not one of the initial 'Goliaths' in the case, and that the majority opinion included the 5 justices who were arguably the 5 most to the left within that group of 9. Those 5 sided with the City (the Goliath/the government/the statists). Those in the minority in the decision (those on the 'David' side) were Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist, and O'Connor.
I hope you realize that's why I posted the 9 justices in 2005 and which POTUS nominated each. The post to which I was responding said the liberals on the court were responsible for the decision. At that time only 2 Supreme Court justices had been appointed by a Democrat.
Conservatives view Country Club/Chamber of Commerce Republicans (Bush 41, Ford) differently than you do.
even if Pres Obama chooses the best person to serve our country
This is the problem. He should choose the best person to serve THE CONSTITUTION. Fidelity to the constitution is what should be paramount, not the opinions and emotions, whims, etc. of the current populace.
