176. This is the #1 reason why the Senate MUST NOT APPROVE ANY BUSH COURT NOMINEE UNTIL 2009
Edited on Wed Jan-17-07 07:14 PM by charles t

Gonzalez makes it crystal clear that Bush will not nominate a judge that does not believe in the "Unitary Executive" theory. This newly coined proposition is the a radical judicial philosophy which negates every element of American jurisprudence (masquerading as, but contradicting, strict constructionism). It reverses the long expansion of liberty which, beginning with the Magna Carta in 1215, has held that no man, king or otherwise is above the law.

The Supreme Court can survive a 2 year vacancy, but our democracy cannot survive a judiciary packed with those who worship the "unitary executive".

Any Supreme Court vacancy must remain unfilled as long as criminals occupy the White House.
