Nevertheless, the 9 clowns generally approve the mishigash (stupidity) of Congress, the President, and the American public. And if the clowns act against Congress, as Gringo Malo points out, Congress can often pass legislation to
limit or clarify the Supremes – but usually goes along. Culpability for our Warfare-Welfare state runs very deep – standing up for liberty against the mob has not been attempted by the Court since 1937. “We have met the enemy and it is us” – Walt “Pogo” Kelly.

[How sad; what force took a person so young and full of promise?]

There was no good reason for voting for this woman. Therefore those Republicans who did show themselves for the “go along to get along” weaklings they are.

Wait a minute, I’m a white, northern European male with no discernible traits other then to get under the skin of those who are not like me.

I guess my place in “hell” will be hotter because, I haven’t “lived” the life of a protected class. Happily married to the same woman for 36 years, 3 children, oldest (son) with cerebral palsy. And two beautiful daughters who are not married and are still chaste. No I haven’t “had” the experience of others. I’m just a creepy white male doing his “thing.”

Article III Section 2 empowers Congress to limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Congress could have nullified such radical decisions as Wickard v. Filburn, Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Plyler v. Doe, Lawrence v. Texas, et al., and then forbade the courts (at least the Supreme Court) to reconsider the subject matter. Yet Congress remains supine.

In any case, the key sentence in the MSNBC story linked above is, “Sotomayor replaces retiring Justice David Souter, a liberal named by a Republican president, and she is not expected to alter the court’s ideological split.” As long as we swap liberal idiot for liberal idiot (pardon the redundancy), the Court won’t get much worse. Whether we get an extreme leftist Court depends on how long BHO and the Democrats remain in power. Their constituents’ childish demands for instant economic results might work against them. This generation of Americans might be too spoiled to make BHO a second FDR.

Much like the executive, the court was never intended to assume the amount of power at its disposal. Nine sheltered, unelected individuals should not have the ability to issue edicts that profoundly affect us all. Worse, we have no recourse. To rub salt into the wound, we have our property stolen from us to pay for their cushy salaries and pensions. What a racket.

As for Justice Sotomayor, it’s abundantly clear that she is a woman of modest intellect and the beneficiary of a culture that prizes victimology over merit. That in itself is not a damning offense, but her insistence on imposing her twisted form of social justice on 300 million people should be an outrage to us all. Instead, we have about 295 million walking zombies who know nothing of her qualifications or her track record as a judge.

We’re doomed.
