OOOOOOO madlibs, UM.. lesseee.....you want a noun..."CARROT CAKE"

now read it back to me!

Rick Santorum said on the Michael Medved show that John Roberts is the real deal. Coming from Rick Santorum, I'd believe just about anything.

My mother was reading an article on him and told me that his friends and colleagues say he's always the most brilliant man in the room, and yet, very humble. Given that arrogance is the main cause of recent Supreme Court decisions, I think he's a perfect candidate.

....schwell feller....?

i don't think that he will be able to push through all of the things conservatives want... but he seems like a smart dude and thats the most important bit.

in the ideal situation his catholicsm shouldn't ever affect his decisions... so i guess it shouldn't matter what he is.

In the ideal situation, Catholicism should always affect all our decisions!

[Michael D.]

But as a justice it's not a decision, he is just inturpreting the Constitution, and act that doesn't really involve his personal feelings or attitudes toward anything. It is just reading the Constitution and applying it to laws today. For example, if he hated the fact that the KKK can say whatever it wants to under the 1st Amendment, he can't do anything about it because the Constitution is clear on the subject of free speech and press. He can't do what he wants, he is bound by the Constitution and what it says. His job is to hold up the Constitution, so he can't allow his personal convictions to override what the Constitution actually says. He will never get to be a justice if he goes in to it with an agenda, he wouldn't even be a judge.

Now, you're talking about the [b]real [/b]world.
In your previous post, you said, "in the [b][i]ideal[/i][/b]..."
In an ideal world, we'd all adhere to Catholic Truth...
Something to look forward to in heaven!!!
"Whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven - Whatsoever you loose on earth, will be loosed in heaven." Even if the world rejects Catholic Truth, heaven won't!!!

[kateri05]

exactly. and NOWHERE in the constitution is there a right to privacy NOR a right to take the life of unborn children. luckily he is a man who INTERPRETS law and doesn't make up his own to push his own agenda

I bet the politics department at my school is going crazy with excitement. I believe mine is knows as #5 on the top university politics departments in the nation.

[HomeTeamFamily]

come on man, be realistic here.....in an ideal situation we would have machines who would objectively score each situation and judge it against the constitution

to think that anyone in any capacity of judicial power would not use their personal opinions and whatever in even a small way is to be either ignorant or stupid

[Michael D.]

no, i know that this is the real world and a judge that is unbiased from his personal views is impossible... i was just saying, that ideally he would be like that machine. of course it is impossible... the point of my origional post was that i think he is a smart guy who will recognise the effects his personal beliefs have and that makes him a stronger judge.

[qfnol31]

He's actually better about being unbiased than most judges sitting on the "throne" in 1973. Or the other "famous" ones too.

He said the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds in 1973. If you don't believe that the have yet, look at their latest ruling that private property can be confiscated for private gain. Anyone who's read the Constitution immediately sees red flags.

Anyone see National Treasure? I'm starting to think that his (Nicolas Cage's) way of seeing things is the right way.

Time will tell...May God guide him and make his way secure.
