Seems 'ol Gorsuch is down with infanticide and queer marriage, like all good lieberals. Will Schummer still filibuster Gorsuch? I hope so! http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/gorsuch-comments-on-settled-law-unsettling-to-conservatives/Republicans have waited eight years for the chance to place another conservative justice on the Supreme Court, and they apparently have their chance now that President Trump has nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the seat vacated by the late Antonin Scalia. But his comments, during his confirmation hearing this week in the U.S. Senate, revealed the nation’s “settled law” includes “gay marriage” and unlimited abortion. While being questioned by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on the destruction of unborn children, Gorsuch stated “the Supreme Court of the United States has held in Roe v. Wade that a fetus is not a person for purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment.” When Durbin asked if he accepted that, the judge replied, “That’s the law of the land. I accept the law of the land, senator, yes.” And when pressed on “same-sex marriage,” Gorsuch acknowledged the Supreme Court had ruled such marriages are protected by the Constitution. He declared Obergefell v. Hodges, which struck down “same-sex marriage” bans nationwide in 2015, to be “absolutely settled law.” Given this, Daniel Horowitz, senior editor at Conservative Review, is not the least bit confident Gorsuch is the constitutional conservative many Republicans are hoping for. “Gorsuch is saying that Roe is the law of the land and Obergefell, which is one of the most radical opinions ever, is ‘absolutely settled law,'” Horowitz told WND. “There’s nothing there to give us assurances that he’s anywhere on par with Scalia, and that’s the seat we’re filling.” Horowitz said Gorsuch’s deferential attitude toward Supreme Court precedent, even on cases that themselves upended precedent, illustrates the problem he wrote about in his book “Stolen Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/gorsuch-...ng-to-conservatives/#dtKiGPIEPy1r21JP.99

When Durbin asked if he accepted that, the judge replied, “That’s the law of the land. I accept the law of the land, senator, yes.” A law is legislation passed by congress. They passed no law on abortion. This 'law of the land' is a court decision, not a real law. It was a convoluted ruling to get abortion out of the constitution.

And this would be the Libertarian's position as well.

Yes, don't forget that virtually everywhere homosexual marriage was voted on by the people, it failed. Courts have made this the law, and it is not their function.

A lot of folks here don't want a constitutional judge, they want a cheerleader for all of their causes.
And folks wonder why we can't ever get anything done.

Do you want a "judicial activist" appointed to the SC? Or one that respects "stare decisis"?
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Years ago, they talked about, "Strict Constructionism, and Loose Constructionism".

Heller is also settled law.
The way to end abortion is by ammending the Constitution to prohibit it, or at least allow it to be restricted by the states.
If guys want to poke each other in the pooper and settle down in a vine- covered cottage, it's of no concern to me. Personally, I don't get the attraction, but then I also don't like lima beans.
What fresh Hell is this?

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

When someone is said to be a conservative it means that they interpret the constitution literally as it is written.
A liberal interprets the constitution as a living breathing changing with the times document.
They have a liberal view as to what the constitution means.

I can't disagree with any of that other than to go a bit farther and to say that to REALLY end abortion, the private sector (IOW Christianity) need to win hearts and minds to Jesus. If that were the case, there would be few abortions. And like marriage, there would be no need for the government to either outlaw or legalize it.

Heller is also settled law. Not to a lieberal. And ultimately, they are the ones who win, because conservatives are too polite to destroy them.

The way to end abortion is by ammending the Constitution to prohibit it How about by pointing out neither abortion or marriage is an enumerated responsibility of the federal government by the constitution, therefore the scotus rulings are illegal and state law prevails?
