Barack Obama supports liberal judges

June 25th, 2008 | by admin |

I applaud Senator Obama for condemning a terrible decision by the Supreme Court which makes it illegal for states to punish child rapists with the death penalty. Senator Obama has sided with the four conservative judges on the court who voted against this decision. I’m talking of course about Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas. The problem is that Barack Obama will not appoint these kind of judges if he becomes president!

Obama has praised current liberal Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, and Souter. These are the same people who voted against the death penalty for some of the lowest life forms on the planet, child rapists!

Obama has said he is concerned with a conservative court that supports the “powerful against the powerless.” These are odd words considering it is the conservative justices that sided with victims of child rape, and who have also shown the ability to side with unborn babies, which is perhaps the best example of those who are “powerless.”

So which way is it going to be Senator Obama? Are you with the powerless or are you against them? Will you support conservative judges who avoid this kind of activism, or will you support the liberals whom you have praised?

I’m inclined to believe that this condemnation by Obama on the ruling keeping child rapists from the death penalty is just politics as usual. If this is not an example of Obama talking out both sides of his mouth, it shows a lack of judgment necessary to be the next commander in chief and an inability to appoint decent judges!
