Obama: No Originalist Judges
In an interview with NBC News, Sen. Barack Obama provided a glimpse into how he would select judges for the Supreme Court if he was elected president. Obama indicated that he would have a litmus test for judges; namely, they must believe in a right to "privacy," which Obama said is "implied by the structure of the Constitution.""Well, look, I think that you -- what you can ask a judge is about their judicial philosophy. And as somebody who taught constitutional law for ten years, who actually knows a lot of the potential candidates for Supreme Court on the right as well as on the left 'cause I've taught with them or interacted with them in some way -- I can tell you that how a Justice approaches their job, how they describe the path of interpreting the Constitution, I think can tell you a lot.No originalist judges need apply.
And so my criteria, for example, would be -- if a Justice tells me that they only believe the strict letter of the Constitution -- that means that they possibly don't mean -- believe in -- a right to privacy that may not be perfectly enumerated in the Constitution but, you know, that I think is there."
The right to privacy is a code word for abortion rights. The focus of liberal jurisprudence since Roe v. Wade first conferred the right to an abortion has been the protection of that "right," which draws from the "right to privacy" enumerated not in the Constitution, but in the 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut decision of the Supreme Court. In that decision, the Court famously held that the rights in the Constitution have, "penumbras formed by emanations from those guarantees that give them life and substance." In other words, the text of the Constitution does not have the plain meaning that the words would otherwise imply. It is a formulation that allows liberal jurists to find any "right" that they can think of in the Constitution. And one with which Sen. Obama appears to agree.

Griswold affirmed the rights of MARRIED couples to use BIRTH CONTROL. Obama will appoint judges who want to keep the Republican religious nuts out of our bedrooms, peering between our legs. Obama will win on November 4th and we can rest better at night knowing that our rights will be protected and not stripped away.

How do people not have a problem with partial birth abortions, those late term ones where the baby is partially delivered and then their heads are opened to drain their brains out. Gross huh? Very violent! The baby could live outside the womb at this point.
Obama has the most radical view. He has never voted to put one limit on abortion. He is the most radical elected official in the Senate or Congress---ever!
He promised Planned Parenthood that he would NEVER vote against abortion in any way shape or form....and he never has!
He even voted against the Born Alive Infant Act. This provides that medical care be given to a baby born alive as a result of a botched abortion! Obama said NO!
His answer would be put the baby in a medical waste closet until he/she dies!
There is no moderation here! Hell, no heart!!!!
I'm not the religious nut that buzzcut describes, but where do you draw the line???? Obama has no line! And, he still claims to be Christan?????

1) His line has to do with the safety of the mother and the protection of her privacy.
2) And that's just the problem with letting the radical religious right dictate that religion has to be a requirement for the job of the President of the United States.

With all due respect, don't you think we've read and seen just about everything on these two guys? I, for one, am just anxious to see the outcome. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great to be informed before one votes--but this year has been way over the top. Thank god for scopes.com and factcheck.org as I think they have made a huge difference in how effective the mud goes or doesn't go.

No real meat on the bones as far as the Republican candidates are concerned. All they can do is sling mud at the opposition (who at least has set forth the germ of a strategy to help the country). All of you who are hung up on race, birth certificates, who is or is not an Arab or a Muslim; all of you have played right into the hands of the Republican Fear Mongers. For fifteen years the Republican Party modus operandi has been to fill you full of fear and more fear; they fed you fear of blacks, fear of Illegal's, fear of crime, fear on inflation, deflation, oppression, depression, anything and everything. What you did not stop to realize was that while you were groveling in fear you took your eyes of what they were really doing and now you are paying for it. They sold fear in 2000 and look what happened; they sold fear in 2004 and look what has happened since then.
Many of you still have not figured it out yet; you have been bent over and had, you have been tricked, you have had the wool pulled over your eyes, you have been duped by a group of people who know how to press your "fear" buttons. They studied you well; they know your prejudices, your dislikes and they know how to push your buttons. You sold your vote for what you perceived to be safety and security from those bad old people over seas; what you should really have been afraid of were the bad old people in your own government who have systematically stripped you of your Constitutional rights, invaded your privacy, put people in prison for years without benefit of legal counsel or even a conviction. They have tapped your telephones, peered into your bank records, opened your mail, they have looked into every nook and cranny of your life and if anyone started to ask questions all they had to do was press another "Fear" button and give you something else to be afraid of. Like sheep led to the slaughter have docilely tucked tail and let them do whatever they wanted to you because you were then and still are full of fear. Question, we live in the most powerful country on earth, no country has the means or methods or resources or will to invade this county; WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL SO AFRAID OF?? How long will you fall for their tricks, how long will you fall for their games, how long will you submit to the divide and conquer philosophy of the Republican Party? Haven't you figured it out yet; every time they scare you with something they take away a little bit more of your freedom.
John McCain had a chance to do some real good for his party and this nation; but he chose to run back to his Republican roots and start selling Fear. Instead of the senior statesman and man of wisdom we expected him to be he revealed himself to be nothing more than a cheap, taudry bottom feeder who’’s stock in trade is selling fear to a group of gullible bumpkins. Instead of rising to the heights he could have achieved he degenerated and continues selling one brand of fear after the next. Who knows what he will be selling tomorrow but I guarantee you he will come up with something. In the meantime working and middle class peoples like us will continue to get poorer and poorer.
John McCain does not get it; too many people are not buying the tried and true fear arguments; the ““scare them into voting”” strategy is not working this time. The bone cold reality of no jobs, loss of homes, retirement accounts that have disappeared, and an economy that has been robbed, looted and left begging the government to prop it up has caused people to finally understand that none of this could have happened had they not been so willing to allow fear to control their decisions. This time, in this coming election, the Merchants of Fear will not prevail; they will discover that no one is buying any more of their bull patty’’s.

WERE OBAMA’S DAUGHTERS UNFAZED WHEN THEY SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES IN A SO-CALLED "CHURCH OF GOD" WITH A PASTOR WHO SPEWED HATRED AND "GOD DAMN AMERICA"?
OBAMA DENOUNCED WRIGHT AND THE CHURCH JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO --- WHEN IT HURT HIS CAMPAIGN! HE IS A SNAKE-OIL SALESMAN AND LYING CON ARTIST.
John Sidney McCain has served our country for his entire adult life. I trust him. Governor Palin is trustworthy. She has more executive experience than any candidate. John McCain showed good judgment in choosing her as his VP.
Barack Hussein Obama has based his entire campaign on lies. He has too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans. He has lost all credibility.
WILL OBAMA'S ACORN ORGANIZATION WIN THE ELECTION BY "FRAUD"? THAT'S HOW HE BEAT HILLARY IN THE PRIMARIES --- AND THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA COVERED IT UP TO PROTECT THEIR 'GOLDEN BOY'!
1. Joe Biden himself said the Junior Senator from Illinois was not prepared to be PRESIDENT and that it wasn’t a position to “test drive”.
2. Biden also said of Obama, “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
OBAMA AND BIDEN DON'T WANT TO WIN THE WAR IN IRAQ. THEY WILL BRING OUR BRAVE TROOPS HOME IN SHAME!
VOTE FOR McCAIN/PALIN ON NOVEMBER 4!

Although there is still a large part of America that still drinks from the deep well of fear created by the Republican Campaigning Guide by Karl Rove, I think you're right about it not being as effective this time around--at least I hope.
