Let Me Get This Straight....

The Senate Confirmation Hearings of Judge Samuel Alito were some of the most embarrassing events of the "most deliberative body in history" with spiteful words spoken on both sides.
It appears to boil down to one simple fact, democrats fear that Alito will reverse the decision to legalize abortions.
No one really knows, but what is important is to remember that most of congress think they can do a better job than the president, and 100 United States Senators think THEY ARE the President.
Here's the deal, George W. Bush, like it or not, earned the Presidency not once, but twice. For years he's talked about how we need judges who will not create new laws by fiat, which isn't a small Italian car, but means without basis, in this case the United States Constitution. I've read the constitution, and I don't see it in there either.
The decision involving abortion wasn't so abominable for conservatives because of what it involved--which was bad--what was most egregious was the fact that state laws were overturned and the electorate was removed from the process determining the laws of states. The big foot of Federalism overtook state's rights.
I don't know anyone that supports abortions. Everyone would rather have that child born and cared for by a loving family. But for the nation's highest court to determine that the state's have no right to regulate the basis of our constitution, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" was wrong.
Now, if states want to approve abortions up to the last minute, and allow partial-birth abortions, which sounds more like something from a Nazi Death Camp than a medical clinic, let's vote and see who wins.
To be sure, conservatives, some liberals, Christians and clear thinking Americans believe in life. We encourage life, heck I couldn't even have an abortion for my cat because I am pro-life and against our culture of death.
To back up our feelings, we have voted for presidents and others time and time again who promote life over abortions and death.
Now, a president who campaigned against judicial activism has a chance to nominate people who may kick the issue back to the states for laws to be voted on by representatives of the people or even statewide initiative petitions. So be it.
If you didn't think President Bush would make these appointments you must have been asleep. If you don't think the President has the right to make these appointments then perhaps you should run for president. Many democrats, liberals, Republicans and independents have made their positions known that they are pro-abortion. When that is an issue in the job they seek, in many states like Oklahoma, they lose the election.
It's a good thing, because we need more people. In fact, if we don't get more people in Oklahoma during the next 14 years before the year 2020, we are very likely to lose another congressional seat.
Here's a slogan to encourage---Keep the 5 Congressional Seats--Vote Pro-Life.
