Legal racial bias.

Hey all, I need to address an issue that isn’t getting as much attention as I hoped. President Barack Obama in his quest to impose his views in every aspect of the federal government has now taken another step in the destruction of the American legal system. He has done so through the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Chuck Schumers endorsement will provide the Liberal support needed during her confirmation process in order to get confirmed. This nomination hopefully won’t get through if Americans who care about our Constitution, legal process, and country start speaking out against her.
I am not going to attack her judicial philosophy. Her record speaks for itself. Anyone with an objective mind will realize how bias her decisions have been throughout her career. Barack Obama’s intention to bring equality or so called representation for Hispanic through his nominee shows how little he knows about the Supreme Court. This highly revered body makes crucial decisions that affect everyone living in the United States. The Court can’t enforce it’s own decisions, but their decisions sometimes create cultural phenomenon more impacting than some laws. Also, the Court shouldn’t consist of politically motivated individuals regardless of their own ideology. A Supreme Court Justice needs to decide if the cases brought to them are in accordance with the Constitution. They are supposed to decide if a lower Court’s ruling abides by the Constitution as well. A Justice’s race, ethnicity, gender, nor ideology should even be a factor.
Barack Obama has brought more attention to race in everything he has done as President than any other President. Ironically he was supposed to prove that race doesn’t matter since he was the first African American elected to the White House. He did it when he ran for President, he did it when he chose Eric Holden as his Attorney General, and he is doing it now by nominating Judge Sotomayor. His goal by nominating her wasn’t to substitute Justice David Souter with a highly qualified jurist. He wanted to nominate someone who would balance the Court in terms of race and ethnicity. I hope Obama remembers what kind of decisions the Court has made in the past. Did the Justices race or ethnicity matter in their decision in Plessy, Korematsu, Roe, or Grutter and Gratz. All these cases affected America’s society and culture based on the decisions the Court made. If Obama manipulates the judiciary branch with his nominee it’ll mean that one more radical tentacle will get wrapped around another part of the federal government. It’ll mean that political stances will now supercede fairness and lawfulness in the Courtroom. Sotomayor could have the power to sway others in the Court if she gets confirmed.
It’s time once again for Americans to use their voices. Let Congress know that radical judges aren’t supposed to exist in a fair judicial system. It isn’t a perfect system, but it sure beats most other ones. Let those in power know that they have the ability to make sure that at least one part of the government maintains some objectivity. Who wants to one day have a day in Court knowing that you stand no chance in hell of succeeding due to your own personal beliefs? It isn’t too late to make sure no more activist judges are rewarded for trampling on the Constitution by using their own values as the deciding factor in a case. The idea of nominating Harriet Myers just to replace Sandra Day O’Connor with another woman on the Court was thankfully rectified, and I hope that a more impartial judge gets nominated to replace Justice Souter.

Dead end for the auto industry.

Hey all, it’s been quite a while since my last post. Now that the summer has come I can start posting once again without having any schedule conflicts. Do you enjoy driving your car? Do you enjoy having the freedom to choose when you purchase a car between a GM, Toyota, Ford, or even a Chrysler? I hope that on your next trip to the car wash before you polish that vehicle I hope you think about the journey President Barack Obama and Congress are sending the automobile industry on.
Barack Obama from the get go has chosen to rule the auto industry with an iron fist. Well, more like a jackhammer since through his policies he has contributed to the continued demised of the automobile industry in the United States. When he came into office he chose to bail out the biggest three companies in the country. Taxpayer money got wasted trying to rectify the direction three companies took due to the overzealous environmentalist in Congress. A group of clowns whose pockets are filled with green money so they stand in Capitol Hill in a circle singing Kumbaya in a room filled with florescent light bulbs eating organic food and drinking wine from recycled goblets. They typically neglect to realize that companies can only meet certain standards based on the technology available to them right now. Also, a “more environmentally friendly” car might not be a more road safe car. Their goal of having smaller, lighter, and more gas efficient cars puts a driver in more danger. If a collision occurs the smaller car can’t sustain as much impact as the larger more sturdy ones. President Obama will prevent any highway accidents from ever taking place though with all the money earmarked for infrastructure projects around the country.
Why the rant about environmentalists? Right now we are all struggling economically. All the solutions proposed by Barack Obama and his Liberal dominated Congress has resulted in an increase in the national debt. It has resulted in the loss of jobs since none of this money has made much of a difference since it won’t be available until 2010. Finally, billions of American taxpayer money got spent to rescue the automobile industry, and now these same companies are going bankrupt. The President on Monday proposed some of the toughest fuel efficiency standards ever imposed by the federal government. One more way to ensure that the automobile industry never recovers. One more way to increase unemployment, and also one more way to cripple such a vital industry. Instead of letting the companies design a plan to restructure themselves to salvage their business, instead they are getting told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it by a bunch of bureaucrats.
I hope that the President enjoys riding the Presidential Scooter around the beltway. If he doesn’t change his radical ideas about global warming as well as saving the environment the only eco friendly vehicle left will be scooters. Our planet’s health is important, but a more regulated automobile industry will just result in the total collapse of one of the largest sectors of the United States economy. James.
