Shows that when Obama starts appointing leftwing fanatics to the courts, we can work up a popular opposition to it:
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. voters (64%) say U.S. Supreme Court decisions should be based on what is written in the Constitution, but only 35% think President Obama agrees with them.
Twenty-seven percent (27%) say high court rulings should be guided by fairness and justice, and nine percent (9%) are not sure which is more important, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
A slight plurality of voters (38%) say Obama thinks the Supreme Court should base its decisions on fairness and justice. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure.
The courts are a vital thing, because that is really where liberals hope to make the running – knowing that they can’t really get their programs through the legislature, they seek to use the courts as a judicial legislature to impose their views by judicial fiat. But, wonder of wonders, a majority – at least according to this survey – believe that the Courts should just rule on the law and leave legislating to the legislature, or to the people, presumptively.
There is a core of conservatism at the center of the American population – and it is why our democratic republic has endured so long. In the end, a republic can be conservative, or it won’t long be a republic. The self-discipline necessary for a functioning republic only comes from an adherence to a strict code of morals – without this, a republic will disintegrate into a mobocracy as prelude to a dictatorship. The fact that after decades of relentless leftwing attempts to undermine the constitution and convince people that nebulous concepts such as “fairness” should guide our courts, the American people appear to want the law to be the guidance of the courts.
Working in tune with this basic American conservatism, we can thwart the worst aspects of Obama’s liberalism and eventually regain power.
