Re: Rehnquist Dead - Breaking New
The position calls for a highly educated person who has an indepth understanding of the laws. That is it. I think the whole concept of government and juricprudentance is over-rated. I am weary of the BS that the left primarily, (Ginsburg answered almost no questions but passed almost unanimously), spews to forward the agenda they can't at the ballot box. The laws are in place to answer most conceivable situations. The judiciary was to be non-political but who is it that forces politics into a non-political arena.<br /><br />The chief justice was for years the lone conservative voice on the supreme court. He did so not to sell books or appear on talk shows, but because it was his interpretation of the laws as they were written. He was demonized for his dissent on Roe v Wade. I think he would shed a tear when he views the process to replace his steady and balance guidance of the highest court.<br /><br />Is it a good thing that there are some out there digging into nominee's wives, children, sexual preferences, to mold a court into their view of political utopia? The election gives a sitting president the power to nominate. Advise and consent doesn't cover the reputational rape of each person the republicans have put forth in the past 20 years. Bork, Thomas, Gonzales (similiar), even lower court nominee's. <br /><br />There are those who relish the circus that has been created when vacancies occur. And they are almost all on the left. I wonder if Biden will come to the rescue of Roberts in the next month the same way he did for Ginsburg? I pray for civility in the process but wouldn't hold my breath for a second based on the level of political discourse now considered acceptable in the Senate.<br /><br />He felt that the power belonged to the states, not the federal government, and I think he was absolutely correct.
