US President George W. Bush in his news conference this morning stated his primary concern for appointing Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
He states: "I don’t want judges who supplant the legislative branch."
Red States voters agree. They are tired of activist judges snubbing the legislative and executive branches of the US government.
Activist judges, so-called, are actually those endorsing basically immoral decisions for America. They are liberal in intent. They are theologically liberal in ethics, that is, they fight against biblical morality.
If Mr. Bush can actually put on the high bench judges who will adhere to and honestly respect the US Constitution, the nation will genuinely benefit greatly for generations to come.
That will mean that we no longer have judges who write into law solely their opinions, mostly liberal, instead of interpreting the US Constitution properly, legitimately.
Again, Mr. Bush stated: "I don’t want judges who supplant the legislative branch." He reiterated that several times to the reporters.
Then he went on to say about Harriet Miers: "I know her well enough to say that she’s not going to change."
When former President Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day O’Connor, he thought her to be a conservative. When he interviewed her, the facts are that the two never talked issues nor politics. It was a chitchat back-and-forth. In other words, Reagan trusted naively O’Connor. She proved to be a liberal, particularly favoring feminists’ issues.
Mr. Bush stated in his news conference that he considers Harriet Miers trustworthy in that her convictions and character will not play turncoat. She will not play out Judas’ role.
"Her philosophy won’t change. That’s important to me.
"She shares my judicial philosophy. She’s an extraordinary woman.
"I picked the best person I could find.
"Because of the closeness, I know the person. To me a person’s strength of character counts a lot. As a result of friendship with Harriet Miers, I know her strength of character.
"This woman deserves to serve on the bench.
"I know her well enough to say that she’s not going to change.
"Her philosophy won’t change. That’s important to me.
"I don’t want to put somebody on the bench who changes. I want somebody who has the. . .same philosophy 20 years from now.
"I appreciate the reception she’s gotten from Capitol Hill.
"I have no litmus test. What matters to me is her judicial philosophy.
"There is no litmus test. I’ll say it again. I never ask anyone their personal opinion about abortion (in interviews).
"I’m a pro-life president."
"Finally, I actually listen to senators when they bring forth ideas. They brought forth some very interesting ideas. One of the most interesting ideas was ‘Why don’t you reach outside. . .pick somebody who hasn’t been a judge?’ I thought long and hard about it. And so recognizing that Harriet Miers will bring not only her own expertise but a fresh approach, I nominated her."
