Justice Clarence Thomas

What do you know about Justice Clarence Thomas? Are your only images of this man those of the confirmation hearings over a decade and a half ago?

Perhaps your impressions of Justice Thomas are inspired only by the slanted media presentation of this man. Perhaps you only know what the likes of staunch liberal newspeople like Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, or the entire editorial staff of the New York Times WANTS you to think.

I encourage you to either buy or, if you feel you do not want to spend money on it, borrow from your local library "My Grandfather's Son." It is Justice Thomas's autobiography. It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, in his own words.

Justice Thomas did not come from a well-to-do, or even a middle-class family. He came from the humblest of roots. He didn't need the government to tell him he was being held back because of his color. He overcame it all, despite the racism and the hatred people of color dealt with in his formitive years. He overcame people like democratic leaders senator Al Gore, Sr., who voted time and time again to stop the Civil Rights Acts. He overcame the hatred of the Klan, which included future senator Robert Byrd.

Yet, you do not know this. You only know him as an "Uncle Tom," as he has been called. You only know him for "the scandal that wasn't" in his confirmation hearings.

Read the book, or just catch him in one of his interviews of late. See just how intelligent, well spoken, and truly decent and humble this man is.

We should be proud to have this man on the Supreme Court. He knows why he is there. He understands what his job is. He is not a legislator. He is merely there to interpret current law as it applies to the cases he sees.

Justice Clarence Thomas is a prime example of what a man can do if he tries. If he applies himself to making himself better. He is at the pinnacle of his career because he deserves it. And he deserves the respect of all of us. Whether you are liberal, conservative, middle of the road...whether you agree or disagree with his views...this is a man worthy of respect.

Justice John Roberts Confirmation Battle

DING DING DING!!!

In this corner...standing 6 feet, from Buffalo, New York...with an incredible record and ample qualifications...the nominee for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court...Justice John G. Roberts, Junior! Junior!!

And in this corner...his opponents....the party of no platform...the party of obstruction...the party who wants judges to legislate from the bench....the challengers to every move George W. Bush makes...the undisputed losers of the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections....the Democrat Liberals! Liberals!

Ladies and gentlemen...Are you rrrrrrrrrrrrready???? For the sake of the Constitution, and thousands of generations to come....LET'S GET READY TO FILIBUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I guess we do need Michael Buffer to get this thing started. Let me get this straight and catch everyone up.

Sandra Day O'Connor leaves the bench of the Supreme Court at the end of June. Within days, liberal groups like MoveOn.org and Planned Parenthood go into hyperactive, extra chocolate to a 4 year old mode. They are raising money to combat ANY nominee George Bush sends to slaughter...I mean, confirmation.

Special interest groups trying to influence a nomination for the Supreme Court with a grass roots campaign? WHAT?? Grass roots campaigns are efforts to get your guy (or gal) elected. If you fail, sorry, thanks for playing...what do we have for them Bob? The ELECTED president has the right, the power, to nominate whomever he chooses. That is the beauty and the spoils of running a clean campaign and letting personal and vicious attacks roll off you like water on a ducks back. Bush won...decisively...and the libbies refuse to accept it. Instead of recoiling and regrouping, they keep swinging like a drunk at an imaginary piňata.

The good news is, they are looking like total jackasses...especially with YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Howard Dean in charge.

The bad news is, a minority is holding up the progress of the ELECTED MAJORITY. So, while the 60 million who proudly cast the Red State votes are stuck in a stalemate, the liberals salivate over ever snag they can put into the agenda of GWB.

Back to topic...Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. We knew whomever Bush selected (with the exceptions of Bill or Hillary, Michael Moore, Howard Dean, Usama Bin Laden, Adolph Hitler, or Barbara Streisand) would be sliced and diced, pureed and whipped, and stuck in limbo as much as possible...the future of the country be dammed. We knew this just hours after O'Connor resigned.

We knew we were in for a struggle when Ted "HIC" Kennedy put down the whiskey long enough to tell us that he was going to make certain that O'Connor's replacement will fight for the rights of the individual and not take away people's rights. Ok, let me explain this.

LEGISLATORS fight for people's rights, for individual freedom...not justices. Justices apply the law to the constitution...apply circumstances to the Constitution. Justices are not supposed to determine policy and law from the bench...only the constitutionality of a law and how the law affects the people. Justices do not fight. They weigh. They weigh evidence, facts, expert opinions, and the word of law. Justices to not fight for people...Legislators do.

So, what the drunk lady killer is trying to admit to in his inebriated stupor is this: If we (the democrats) cannot win an election...we want our legislation done by the ladies and gentlemen in the black robes.

This is going to be a eventful couple of months. Roberts' résumé is spotless and impressive. His record in the courtroom is impeccable. If the democrats were a fair, reasonable bunch, the up or down vote would be done well in advance of October, when the Supreme Court reconvenes.

However, because the liberals hate Bush...hate his aggressive, positive agenda...and hate conservatives...the libbies are going to do everything possible to prevent a smoot, successful transition. Instead, fillibusters will be used. Delay and stall tactics will be used. Everything and anything they can do to slow Bush's second term, consider it done.

I wish the liberals would wake up and smell what their shoveling. I love what their doing because it hurts them in future elections.

I hate what their doing because they are damaging my country right now.
