As difficult as it is for me believe this, I didn't post Monday night because my phone line had been dead since Sunday. According to the telephone repairman, squirrels ate through the cable line.

On 9/26/05 the Peoria Journal Star printed another column by libertine columnist Ellen Goodman dealing with Judge Roberts and his nomination to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice. As one reads through all the dribble the seeming point of her article is that Judge Roberts lacks heart. Or as she quotes California Senator Dianne Feinstein (who I certainly would probably never use as a reliable source), "or (did that make Judge Roberts--my addition) an 'automaton,' in Dianne Feinstein's word?"

Of course, the libertine's definition of having heart is to support the murder of unborn babies, allow homosexuality, protect homosexuality as if it is a civil right, deny the existence of GOD--THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS, confiscate our property for the good of the people, allow eleven year olds to murder their unborn babies without parental input, hand out abortion pills as if they were aspirin, murder unborn babies by ramming a pointed rod through their brain (partial birth abortion), and permit all manner of smut in the name of freedom of speech among other libertine values. The last thing they want is someone who actually follows the United States Constitution. They want activist Justices who believe they somehow have the knowledge, insight, and ability to decide what is best for our country (referred to by libertine's as having heart) regardless of the Constitution and the laws passed by Congress or the states.

The libertines have basically conceded that Judge Roberts will be the new Chief Justice unless the libertine Democrats in the Senate stage a surprise filibuster. So why are they still writing about Judge Roberts and his perceived lack of heart? They are preparing for the next Supreme Court appointment from President Bush. I personally believe they will try much harder to prevent the next nomination whoever the nominee may be. Judge Roberts replaced a Justice who overwhelmingly based his judicial opinion on his understanding of the Constitution as written. It was a matter of replacing one strict constructionist with another. That will not be true in the second nomination if President Bush again nominates a strict constructionist. That nomination will be replacing a Justice, who more often than not in the major decisions that ignored the Constitution, voted with the libertines on the bench. If President Bush nominates a strict constructionist I expect a down and dirty fight from the libertine Democrats in the Senate. Be prepared.

One last thing in relation to Judge Roberts. Monday night I was watching the American Center for Law and Justice's weekly one half hour TV program. It was dealing with the present judicial nominations. A news clip was shown with Illinois Senator Durbin saying that he and the American people want a Justice who has the values of main street America. Senator Durbin voted against Judge Roberts in committee and said he would vote against Judge Roberts when the vote is taken in the Senate. In my opinion, Senator Durbin is delusional if he believes he represents main street American values and he is delusional if he thinks the libertine decisions of the present Supreme Court represents main street American values. If they do, why were they not established by the legislative process rather than by Court fiat? However, if he is correct and we do not repent and turn back to GOD given values, we are doomed as a nation.
