Welcome to my premeire blog entry. Blogging is new to me but I may have a thing or two to say...
Let's start with Senator Arlen Specter's recent change in party affiliation. I respect him for being honest and stating that this move was the only way he would be re-elected in 2010. But on "Meet the Press", he stated that the GOP has moved further to the right recently. I would challenge that. I believe the country and the Dems have moved left. What position has changed for conservatives? I could only speculate...Same sex marriage? We aren't the party wanting to change a definition that is as old as time...Gun ownership? Abortion? Smaller government? Please feel free to help me out.
President Obama will be making his first Supreme Court nomination. Dems treated Pres. Bush's nominees shabbily, I hope we do not repeat that offensive behavior with Mr. Obama's nominee. Thus far, his people have been treated fairly, whether or not they paid their taxes. On the other hand, in the last 40 years the only Supreme Court nominees not to be confirmed were all nominated by a Republican President. Also, I am concerned about the comment our President made about “someone who understands justice is not just about some abstract legal theory,” but about how laws affect the daily lives of Americans. I prefer that a judge perform as a neutral referee, not as an activist. Cases should be judged on their merits. If a big company is sued by a little guy, but the big company is in the right, what say we just call it that way? Same thing if the little guy is in the right..
