Jon's Views

Demorats make me sick to my stomach when they act like little children when they don't get there way in Washington. They lose elections and they think they have to take it out on the Republican Party for their losses. Instead of figuring out that it is their social philosophy that they lose the election and not their opponents.

They are too busy trying to manipulate the voters into voting against the Republican Party they forget that they actually have to have a better way of doing things in Washington. The problem lies with their lack of any substantial plan to actually fix anything that is truly wrong in America.

They like to say the Republican Plan to fix this problem is just a benefit or boon for Big Business and yet they don't offer an actual solution that is a benefit to anyone. That is because their answer is usually raise taxes and put more money into the program to fix it.

The latest example of Demorats losing the election so they are trying to stick it to the Republican Party by attempting to influence or control the selection of a Supreme Court Justice. One of the single most important tasks that is given to the President of the United States by the US Constitution is appointing Justices to the US Supreme Court.

Not all Presidents have had the honor to fulfill this duty since a Supreme Court Justice is a lifetime appointment or until they chose to retire. The Senate in one of the many Checks and Balances features we have in our US Constitution has the task of confirming a nominee for the US Supreme Court.

The problem lies in the way that the Demorats go about the confirmation process for all judicial position for the past decades and even more so for most judges while President George W. Bush has been in office. They have been using the judicial confirmation process as a way to get back at the President and the Republican Party since they have been losing election left and right.

Instead of actually looking at whether the judge nominee is actually qualified to sit on the bench that they are being nominated for they ask them what their views are on certain specific ideologies and if the aren't Left enough they aren't going to even get a vote on the Senate floor. The use the filibuster provision to not even allow a vote. This is because a filibuster requires a Super Majority in the Senate Committee to even go to the full Senate for a vote, even though a judicial nominee only need a simple majority in the full Senate vote to be confirmed. But because they use the filibuster they are actually changing the rules of the nominee process that is established in the Constitution and making the nominee have to pass a Super Majority which is a violation the procedures of Judicial Confirmation in the Constitution.

With the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor  a couple of weeks ago puts President Bush in a great position to shape the Supreme Court for many years to come and hopefully his nominee for the position is confirmed and we get a Conservative on the bench to counteract the Leftist Activist Justices that are destroying our society by reversing many laws that have been at the heart of our morally just society and causing the moral decay our society to multiply.

The problem is the Demorats in the Senate have already circled their wagons to find a way to attack Mr. John Roberts Jr. before he answers a single question. The hatchets are already being sharpened by the Demorats in the Senate and they are going to go after him with a vengeance and attack his credibility and trying to pre qualify him based on their ideology and not on his ability to uphold the Constitution and to interpret the Constitution as it applies to the laws that are being challenged.

They will ask him how he feels about Roe v. Wade and whether he would vote to over turn it or any of number of our hot button topics like that and if they don't get the answer they want they will attempt to railroad him and not confirm him. Their responsibility is not to make sure that the nominee shares their twisted agenda or ideology it is to be sure that he can fairly judge a case on its Constitutionality or not.
