The Politics Of The Federal Bench

by R. Jeffrey Smith - December 8th, 2008 - Washington Post

Although the impact of Bush's judicial appointments is most often noticed at the Supreme Court, it has played out much more frequently and more importantly here [U.S. Federal Court, 6th District] and in the nation's 12 other appellate courts, where his appointees and their liberal counterparts are waging often-bitter ideological battles.

This ideological war is the most frightening aspect of the Magic Marxist Messiah's election. Obama has stated repeatedly and emphatically that he does not think that the Constitution should be the final control in our court's decisions. He believes that the courts should make law to protect those who expect government to provide health care, food, clothing, a nice home and punishment for all rich for daring to succeed. In other words, this is the major strategy to create the socialist utopia that Obama and the extreme left see as the necessary first step in forcing America into subservience to a global government.
