Barack Obama and the Supreme Court
There is not one front, one arena, one issue where Barack Obama is acceptable. So it is no surprise to find that he would trash the Supreme Court. It is well worth following the link to read the entire post, but here is the excerpt that says it all for me.
Barack Obama and the Supreme Court
by JimByrd
Where does that place Barack Obama, who taught Constitutional law, albeit historically iniquitous? It exposes him as an extreme constitutional anarchist. He truly believes that Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David H. Souter are the epitome of Constitutional law. He stated concerning these three, “I want people on the bench who have enough empathy, enough feeling, for what ordinary people are going through.” He has also expanded on what he believes the role the Supreme Court should be:
I taught constitutional law for 10 years, and . . . when you look at what makes a great Supreme Court justice, it’s not just the particular issue and how they rule, but it’s their conception of the Court. And part of the role of the Court is that it is going to protect people who may be vulnerable in the political process, the outsider, the minority, those who are vulnerable, those who don’t have a lot of clout.
Sometimes we’re only looking at academics or people who’ve been in the lower court. If we can find people who have life experience and they understand what it means to be on the outside, what it means to have the system not work for them, that’s the kind of person I want on the Supreme Court.We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.
Barack Obama seems to have the job description of a social worker confused with the role of a Supreme Court justice. Perhaps Obama believes the country would be better off if the Supreme Court were substituted with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals–the most overturned court in the U.S. history. His sophomoric ideas of what should constitute the character of a Supreme Court justice has crossed the threshold of absurdity and landed in the iron clutches of adolescence ignorance. He believes the Supreme Court should be the protector of the vulnerable, regardless of de jure; regardless of right or wrong; regardless of the Constitution v. empathy, heart, poor, disabled, African-American, gay, or old. The Supreme Court’s role is to protect the constitutional rights of anyone–rich, poor, vulnerable, powerful, etc. Once again, Barack Obama has demonstrated his lack of intelligence, and in this instance, his chosen field.
