Supreme Clowns
Is it just me or are the dunces in the
U.S. Senate totally unqualified to pass
judgment on Supreme Court nominees?
They have been entrusted with a duty that
can have no meaning. They can't do their
job because they have no clue what
questions to ask. They have to know your
dreams and visions, your mistakes and
your private conversations to get any idea
what questions to ask. Reveal your every
private thought to us and we will ask you
most excellent questions.
I would have questions without end. If
we have a Constitutional Convention next
year, what constitutional defects should
we address? Should any government have
the use of unlimited credit? Doesn't that
create an unfair advantage over those with
little or no credit? Should any government
have authority to put multiple generations
in debt bondage? If they have the
authority do they have a moral obligation
not to do so? If they ignore their moral
obligation, should they not forfeit the
credit itself?
Do you believe cruel punishment is
desirable once it becomes common or
usual? Do you believe a single punishment
is appropriate to all crimes? Which is more
important to you, justice or mercy? Which
would you prefer for yourself on judgment
day?
Do you believe it was the intention of
the founding fathers to enumerate and
restrict the powers of Congress and then
add a little phrase such as the general
welfare clause that says in effect, "and
anything whatsoever pleases you"? Does
this defect need correction?
What, in your opinion, makes this
contract binding upon the descendents of
those who approved it? Do you believe the
administration of a loyalty oath, is
deceptive when administered in a repeat-
after- me fashion upon induction into the
armed services? Do you approve? Do you
believe those who swear this oath have
any idea who the document's enemies,
foreign and domestic are? If they do know
them, do they still have to obey orders
protecting such? Can a combat soldier
become a conscientious objector without
fear of retribution in the land o the free?
What makes the court upon which you
wish to serve, Supreme? Was it ordained
by God or men? Has any group of men
ever created something supreme, beyond
supreme foolishness? Why do you want
this job? Does having the last word in
statute and maritime law excite you? Get
your juices flowing?
Why is U.S. citizenship an accident of
birth and not a personal achievement?
Why are the ignorant allowed to vote or sit
on juries? Do you believe this is good
government and good law? When an
ignorant defendant sits before a jury of his
peers are they all likewise ignorant? If a
defendant is wise, does he get a jury of
wise peers? Who would decide such a
thing? Lawyers? How would they qualify to
judge wisdom and ignorance? Or does the
word peer mean economic class, here in
the land o the free?
Do you believe there can never be too
much law? Can you name any person who
ever wrote a good law? If so who? Do you
think creating new criminals day after day
is a proper function of good government?
Do you believe society has a responsibility
for the families of those they simply lock
out of sight? Do you think the sick people
in cages deserve any help whatsoever
upon release to society? Prior to release?
What kind of help? Would you use your
political influence to make such happen?
Do you wish you need not answer such
questions? Breathe easy. No one else will
ask them. 10/28/2005 1:28 PM
