Supreme Court Justices

I've been watching the liberals scurry left and right with the pending appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice and the prior judicial appointments. They seem to be operating under the impression that they should have final say on who is appointed to the bench.

I have a message for you liberals out there: a particular party holding a majority in the house and senate and holding the presidency indicates that said party has a solid mandate from the people of this nation. That means that they are not beholden to you as to who they appoint to the bench.

Get it straight - Republican house + Republican senate + Republican president = Republican Judicial nominees. Don't cry about it. You got to appoint your loose constructionists (Ginsberg), and we get to appoint our strict constructionists (Thomas - who by the way, is the greatest genius on the court today).

Something you should take from this loss of political clout - there is a reason why people are moving away from your party. You're soft on defense, you're for murdering babies, you lie in our faces on a regular basis, you tax everyone to oblivion, you want to legislate everything from what words can be said to what can be done in the office, you try and control the media with bias and legislation, and you freely associate with evil people.

Suggestions:

• Quit selling secrets to the Chinese government
• Quit crying about the war - terrorism is real and it can hurt us if we don't stop it
• Quit acting like the courts are your playground where you can change law (or worse, the Constitution)
• Quit trying to tell us what we can and cannot say
• Quit trying to ban guns - it is ineffective in crime prevention and is a violation of our rights
• Quit acting like you can take our property away without our permission (i.e. Kelo decision)
