Important Stuff -- Or Not: Rambling

Rambling

I think it is time to replace the Supreme Court with a computer. It wouldn't even have to be a supercomputer -- maybe an Atari 400 or a Commodore PET. After all, the only job of a Supreme Court justice is to determine whether a law is constitutional. Does this law match the Constitution? Computers are great at finding matches, but somehow, that's too complex a problem for liberals. Obama's obamination for the Supreme Court is the poster child for what a judge should NOT be. Judge Sonya Sotomayor believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider her “experiences as women and people of color” in their decision making, which she believes should “affect our decisions.” That attitude has resulted in 60% of her rulings being overturned. And, once again, Obama wants her confirmed NOW. No time for deliberation. I'm for the Atari. I have been wondering how it makes sense for a car company to shut down dealerships that are selling its product. Now I know. Sense had nothing to do with it. This is raw, Chicago-style, mob politics. Is anyone going to call Obama on it? Doubtful. For the first time in five weeks, I am castless. They removed the cast Tuesday and now I have to wear this huge velcro boot for three weeks. I now know why you don't see Sasquatches driving Corvettes. The accelerator and the brake pedal are too close for comfort. If I plow through a crowd, I hope they blame the boot and not my age. My age. I'm spending my last weeks in the 50s. I turn 60 in mid-June. How did this happen???

"the only job of a Supreme Court justice is to determine whether a law is constitutional."

What!? When did THAT happen?

Why, I have watched the SCOTUS for years and they have not used that as a guideline in all the time I've watched them.

Wait. Let me look.

You're right...that IS the only job of the Supreme Court.

If Obama wants to intimidate all American industries into doing what he wants, wouldn't it make more sense for him to make it clear that to oppose his policies they are risking the same fate as those now closed auto dealers?

I think you are right about the Supreme Court. It shouldn't take deliberation to decide if a law is Constitutional or not.; 9:52 AM

Actually, over 90% of the Supreme Court's work has little or nothing to do with the Constitution. It's very boring stuff like resolving inconsistencies among the Circuit Courts on what a certain clause in a statute means. But that's what it was suppossed to be. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme court usurped the power to declare state laws unconstutional. There's nothing in the constitution about that. That's how Obama can give such contol over our lives to people like Sotomayor.

Don't even think of trying to drive with that boot, if it's on your right foot. I had one last year, and tried to drive once. Thank God no one was killed or injured.; 9:57 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
