Dear Friends,
It seems to me that President Obama’s pick to fill the vacant Supreme Court position, Sonia Sotomayor, has gotten a free pass from the unbiased media. We are poorly served when the media only peers at one political party in a two party system, and gives the other party a free pass. Our representative Democracy (Republic) depends on a truly unbiased media…
During the Clinton administration, every week on NPR, Bill Siemens wrung his hands that negative news about the President shouldn’t even be aired unless it is absolutely true and materially affects his performance in office. Week after week NPR went on that the evil blogs and crazies on the internet were finding out bad things about the President that should be hushed up by the unbiased media. Quite another story during the Bush years…
The unbiased media went along with the total slash and burn politics that characterized the Bork nomination. Rumors and outright lies were reported as truth. Instead of attacking the man’s arguments the Progressive Elites attacked the man personally. Destroying him in the process. The unbiased media happily went along like lap dogs.
Clarence Thomas was run through a wood chipper in the unbiased media. How he got out alive is beyond me. But I feel very sorry for what the unbiased media and the Progressive Elites put him through.
John Roberts and Sam Alito were given prostate exams by the unbiased media… What did all these men have in common? They are constructionists. They don’t think the Constitution should be rewritten by every new Supreme Court that sits. Doing so destroys the document’s value and use. It becomes the side of the barn in George Orwell’s “Animal House”. We must guard against that at all costs!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was given a free pass. There was no looking into possible bias in that she was formerly chief council for the ACLU. Since she has been on the Court she has found that the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States does not give the people the right to keep and bear arms, It gives the GOVERNMENT the right to keep and bear arms. Any cursory reading of the Federalist papers and other founding documents disproves her assertion. So she intends to rewrite the Constitution using her model. Her Hubris in such an action is without parallel. Well, maybe not isn‘t that the definition of the sovereignty of Kings?
From what I have read about Sotomayor’s rulings from the bench she appears to be cut from the same sack cloth as Ginsburg. But not in the unbiased media they have studiously reported nothing of her judicial philosophy. I have had to search the internet crazies and evil blogs to get any examples of her past rulings. They are not flattering, as would be expected, from evil blogs and such… Of course it would be biased for the media to give some representative examples of her past rulings… But she does have a compelling personal story. I guess in this case that is all that counts…
Together they will lobby for more legislation from the bench. Taking on more and more of the Legislative Branch’s authority. Apparently the Legislative Branch is willing to cede this authority willingly… The Senate must confirm her. Apparently things can be passed from the bench, the Progressive Elites believe in, that cannot pass the political process. (Where it belongs).
The Constitution is our only bulwark against the power of out of control government. Toss it out and despite the promises of the Elite we will be enslaved soon there after by out of control government… Yea… lets go back to the sovereignty of Kings… That’ll probably work better for us than it did for thousands of years…
