Democrats are still whining about strict constructionists wanting to honor the original intent of the Constitution instead of seeing it as a “living, breathing document” that takes on the cultural nuances of the day. It is not surprising though that they still hold that view of the Constitution after more than 100 years of applying their own interpretations to very clear and concise Amendments to the Constitution. Ironically, as we remember the heroic, historic stance that Rosa Parks took against institutionalized racism, we have to unravel the reasons as to why she was forced to object to being considered less than equal to the white men on the bus. And the ball of yarn rolls right to the feet of the Democratic Party. In 1868 the 14th Amendment was passed giving equal rights to all citizens regardless of race. It states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or...

Gasps are coming from the Left-and even from the Libertarian Right-about the President's decision (finally!) to confront our increasingly activist judiciary. This is an attempt to create a "wedge issue" echoed the lemmings in the media. This is another Bush attempt to "divide" the country!
Yet any gasps should be directed at the bench, where for decades Americans have seen their views and their traditions systematically trashed. Whether it's the issue of marriage, prayer at football games, or God in the Pledge of Allegiance, we've seen courts from coast to coast venture far beyond proper role in a naked attempt to create a new, forward-thinking social, political, and cultural framework.
From time to time in our history, Presidents have had to challenge the Supreme Court. Lincoln openly disagreed with the Court's Dred Scott Decision. FDR threatened to pack the Court because of its New Deal decisions. These presidents played a vital role in preventing the Court from thwarting the legitimate wishes of the American people.
For over 30 years, conservatives have been complaining about the courts, but the truth is,...

The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, specifically, Senator Edward Kennedy’s (Mass.) staffers, have gone on a fishing expedition to smear one of President Bush’s judicial nominees, Alabama Attorney General William Pryor, nominated to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Democrats have discovered that Bill Pryor, a Republican attorney general, raised money for the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA). (See Quin Hillyer in the Mobile Register and Kathryn Lopez on NRO.)
Gasp! I’ll wait while you reset your pacemakers.
Bill Pryor broke no law and no ethical rule. Pryor simply told the Senate Judiciary Committee that while he had raised money for RAGA, he could not answer specific questions on from whom, how much, and when because he does not have the records. The Republican National Committee has the records. The Democrat Attorneys General Association (DAGA) has the same arrangement with the Democrat National Committee.
If senators were to wrest DNC records from McAuliffe’s clutches, though, they might discover that several states’ attorneys general that played key roles in negotiating tobacco settlements have...

You know that all hell has broken loose at the Supreme Court when the New York Times lead editorial summed up the recent blockbuster decisions this way -- "A Moderate Term on the Court." Moderate, my asterisk. In the Michigan affirmative action case and the Texas sodomy case, the Court has unambiguously established itself as governmental branch of choice for America’s university, metropolitan, and entertainment elites.
The diversity mavens at our elite campuses inundated the Court with amicus briefs in support of Michigan’s use of race as a factor in admissions, and swing vote (who is now the left-wing vote) Sandra Day O’Connor bought their bogus argument (even while rejecting the more "rigid point system" used in undergrad admissions) and authored the majority opinion for the Court. So much for the goal of a colorblind society. Then with reasoning eclipsing O’Connor’s in its sheer convolution, Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the Court in Lawrence v. Texas, found that the Constitution protected homosexual sodomy as a "liberty of the person both in its spatial and more transcendent dimensions." The left was glowing...
