THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH.....

WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT, IT OFTEN SEEMS OUT OF FOCUS WITH REALITY....TILTED TO THE ELITIST SIDE OF LIFE.....NINE PEOPLE RUN-A- MUCK, COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND WHAT THEY WANT AND DESERVE.

The Supreme Court of the United States of America has always fascinated me. Perhaps it is because on one branch of my family tree, you would find a Justice of that august body. That Justice and I, share the same name, but have/had different political views.

I am researching this Justice I am related to, and plan to write a short book about his life. Don’t deceive yourself; all judges fit some political mold. We know this because all of us can read their writings, and they all make some kind of contribution to the whole of America jurisprudence. The President has the duty to select a candidate with the same political views that he believes in; BECAUSE THE PEOPLE VOTED THE PRESIDENT INTO OFFICE, AND THAT MEANS THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WANT A JUDGE LIKE THE PRESIDENT.
Why is it never an issue when a liberal President, (Bill Clinton) nominated a liberal Justice (Ruth Ginsberg)??? So now, we are told by the liberals in the Senate, that "President Bush must nominate someone agreeable to all??????” Won’t happen dreamer. You liberals won't like the way the court is headed, so? Did you care about my views when you had it all. Because of your refusal to listen to the people...you are out of power in two branches of government, and the third is slipping out of your hands. The Republicans have listened to the people, and will reap the benifits of listening, then doing.

If all of the Supreme Court Justices since day one had been content to do their job and their job only, this would be a much better country. The high court, delayed the freeing of slaves, made a mockery of reconstruction of the South after the horrible Civil War was over.
OK, here is the good and bad: It has delayed justice, yet it has brought justice. It has freed yet enslaved. It has killed, yet given life. (abortion and death sentence stays)
I could forgive, forget or get over most of the bad rulings of the court, but there is one issue that looms so large, so huge, that millions of lives will be affected by any ruling this court makes on the question. You know I am talking aboutthe millions and millions of humans aborted i our country, even though each was a child of God. There is blood on the hands of the Supreme Court. Perhaps that will change, but I would be content to let it be decided by the people. Yes, I would never talk about the abortion issue again, if abortion ever came to a vote by the people, instead of being brought to our nation by a fiat of nine pompous people in black robes. The court is not a legislative body, yet lately it has been acting like one, completely usurping the role of the executive branch and the legislative branch.

I see a better future for my country, after this latest battle of confirmation is over. President Bush will have his nominee confirmed, but not without a fight.
But I have wanted this fight to take place for decades. The country will not allow a repeat of the JUDGE ROBERT BORK lynching.

When the nine men and women in black robes return to the constitution, America will breathe a sigh of relief.
I can name you several dozen laws that have been overturned by the Supreme Court lately, struck down, even though the citizens voted for the laws. The list is long and disgraceful.
I googled the words LAWS OVERTURNED, and want to share snippets from the results of that search.
Yes, some of these will remind you of bad decisions of the court, and some will remind you of good decisions. That is a subject to your conscience. But all of these little snippets were examples of the Supreme Court overruling the citizens of this great nation.
If the country was given a chance to vote on these matters, and the results became law that the courts could not overturn…….this country would be better.
These are all COURT LEGISLATED CASES, THE CITIZENS WERE IGNORED IN THESE MATTERS. The reason some want the courts to have extraordinary powers, powers they usurped, powers they should not have, is that the questions before the Court would fail in the court of public opinion, and in any vote.
Do you think for a second that Partial Birth Abortion would still be legal if the people had a say in it?
There is not a chance. Let’s have the vote, and forever settle the question. Well in some way we have a vote now, we will have a decent, thoughtful, honest, intelligent judge added to the Supreme Court.
Think about these snippets….think how the Court has changed our nation. Yes, the courts have made some very good decisions, but the harm to courts have brought to our country, far outweighs the good.

City of New London, that a government can take possession of private property against the owner's will and transfer it to private developers when the result will promote economic development.
The Fifth Amendment allows the government to take private property for public use. In writing the majority opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens says “public use” also means “public purpose.” “Promoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted function of government,” he says. “Clearly, there is no basis for exempting economic development from our traditionally broad understanding of public purpose.”

I rest my case.
