A Supremely Serious Situation

With the announcement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement, America has another reason to be divided along ideological lines, as if we needed it.

The knives and vitriol have surfaced and the media has, as always, taken up the cause of the left who fear that the advent of another Justice, not out of the liberal mold would threaten Roe v. Wade, the sacred cow of leftist political doctrine.

And, as improbable as that might seem, they could be right should the issue be re-examined by a balanced impartial court, who have the advantage of hindsight, because it’s hard to believe that the court who approved Roe v. Wade could possibly have imagined the staggering numbers of unborn who are murdered each year, and the over sixty-million abortions that have taken place in America since their ruling.

Plus, the politics could get extremely sticky for the Democrats who are claiming such passionate empathy for the children who are being separated from their parents at the Southern border, because both sides of the issue would be endlessly debated in public forums and they would be forced to constantly defend their claim that a fetus is not a human being.

With modern technology, they would be faced with photographic proof that a fetus takes on the shape of a baby in the fairly early stages of pregnancy, with a heartbeat that can be heard and capable of feeling the pain, when its life is taken.

Knowledge and technology have increased exponentially since 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of legal abortion and a modern-day case before the court could be aided by facts and graphics that were not available then and is sure to shed some much-needed light on the sordid practice.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, it has been a liberal practice for decades to circumvent the will of the people when possible, bypass the legislative process and receive a favorable ruling from a liberal court.

This devious little ploy would be stymied by having a court that does not necessarily lean to the right, but one that even goes straight down the middle, personal political ideologies notwithstanding, providing level ground for both sides.

A court that would only interpret the constitution without trying to twist what it actually says to favor the aspirations of any political party or pressure group.

The Second Amendment, the parameters of our immigration policies, the ongoing fight as to how deeply the health care obligations of the federal government go, the death penalty, sanctuary cities, what constitutes a valid claim to political asylum, all these and myriad other thorny issues could potentially be heard by the Supreme Court in the future.

The fight that the left and their media allies will mount will be well-financed and vicious with no quarter given, no prisoners taken and no middle ground.

Character Assassination, half-truths, misinformation, dirty tricks and all manner of smoke and mirror tactics will be foisted on the American public, trying to convince them that whatever Candidate President Trump puts forth is flawed in ways that make him or her unfit to sit on the highest judicial bench in the land.

And it makes no difference who that candidate is, no matter how virtuous, no matter how spotless their reputation, if they don’t toe the liberal line on the abortion issue they are totally disqualified from the left-hand view.

This nation needs a Supreme Court with the courage and wisdom to deal with the many governmental and social issues that face our nation, one that will not refuse to hear any highly charged political issue, no matter which side of public opinion and ideology their constitutionally mandated decision would happen to fall.

This judicial appointment will be the one that decides if there will be a counter-balance to Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Kagan et al, a constitutional court where both sides are considered in the light of the instructions the founding fathers left to guide us, or a legislative court, where personal politics come into play and legislation, the responsibility of the congress and president, is usurped and exploited by unelected partisans.

It’s a crucial and essential decision that will affect the direction of this nation for a generation.

I pray to God that the right one is reached.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

I Agree
Amen, Amen and Amen Charlie I will agree with you in Prayer on this one. Not wanting to be too optimistic I believe that Trump will get the right one on bench because the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob put him in office and I believe that God will fulfill the purpose for which He put Trump in the highest office of the land. Every point you raised is spot on and I believe that Soros and his ilk will spend like there is no tomorrow to stop this from going forward,but the good news is that there is a brighter tomorrow for America. As Justice Thomas so eloquently said during his hearing back in 1991, calling it a high tech lynching for uppity blacks, the liberals, socialists and commies and will be working together like a well oiled machine to turn the tide, until God throws a wrench into their spoke and derails them like a runaway train.nuff said God Bless Plowboy

SCOTUS supreme
Well said. Like you, at this point I'd be happy to see them rule straight down the line for a change. We need to pray for the right pick. On top of the big issues you mention, I saw an old interview with Sandra O'Connor(post retirement), she said somewhere around 80%(85) of their decisions were on bureaucratic regulations. But that is no small thing either. With Trump doing what he did it should lighten the load. LOL I'd just be happy with straight non-politicized decisions. Though I don't expect we can ever get that from liberal justices.

Well said Charlie
That was a great posting Charlie. You are right on every point. We need to get back to the founding fathers guidance now more than ever. Thank you

I Agree
I agree brother. We need to start a Red Wave going NOW. When you vote call five of your friends and ask them to vote. And, ask them to call five of their friends and so on. The libbers are going to go crazy getting the vote out and we need to counter them. Get the new Red Wave going.

I am right there with you! God needs to intervene for sure.

Seriously
All this suggests that the Republican leadership is concerned about a Democratic takeover of the House. Just as they used their majority to block Obama’s last court pick, they are going to try to ram this appointment through as fast as they can to beat the midterms so that the witless Trump can have another appointment. Charlie claims the Democrats will be vicious in their response but just what would Charlie do if an appointment he supported was blocked without a hearing? Would he urge his congressman to accept anyone offered by the Democrats or would he scream about the unfairness of it all and demand any appointee be turned down? Why does he expect Democrats to respond differently? As long as folks like Charlie cannot give people who disagree with him the benefit of perceived humanity, this country will be in a mess. In the meantime, expect Trump to crow about his latest ‘achievement’.

Abortions, Constitution,Cry of The People
Charlie, It is disgraceful that the very people yelling about the children at the border are the very ones that have allowed hundreds of thousands of unborn babies to be aborted and the body parts SOLD... how disgusting and evil !! It is a sad situation when families are torn apart but these ILLEGAL immigrants are not U S citizens...Constitutional Rights pertain to U S citizens. Seems no on thinks of the thousands of U S citizens that are jailed (rightfully or sometimes not) and the children are separated from their families. Our President Donald Trump was put in office by God because THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE WAS GREAT!! The circumstance at the border just goes to show how many are coming here and how many have been here and have NEVER attempted Citizenship. Why should they....they get benefits that the American citizens "don't QUALIFY for". Please continue to pray for our President and our beloved Country....evil abounds.

To Plowboy on high tech lynchings
Thomas and Anita Hill were both offered the chance to take a lie detector test. Anita Hill took it and passed with flying colors. Clarence Thomas refused to have anything to do with it. Moreover, Joe Biden who headed the committee investigating was noted for his sharp treatment of Hill. Please get your facts straight.

Cock-a-doodle-doo
Dana if Trump don't crow I will do it for him :) For your information Obama was a lame duck president when Antonin Scalia passed away, If you think the Dems are going to take the House, just keep on listening to Maxine Waters and me and some good ol boys will be smiling like a opossum eat knowing she's all hat and no cattle. nuff said God Bless Plowboy

"I fell out of my crib laughing at that one!"
How many of you remember that old response to juvenile humor? It was common when I was young. Alas, today I am 60 and have spent years actually living in apartments with THIN WALLS, thus allowing me access to insider-aspects other cultures. Take Black people and their humor, for example... Here is a typical joke told by a black man (or young boy) told to a black woman (or young girl): "Uh Oh!, I see a nappy curly hair where it shouldn't be. Gee, I wonder where it came from. Is it from your head?? ... or some other, unmentionable place?? :-D" -- This is responded to by the female with "Oh Grow Up. I fell out of my crib laughing at that one." .......... The truth about Anita Hill and Justice Thomas will NEVER be told to America's vast white audience. But I have a pretty good Idea about what happened, especially as Anita Hill followed Clarence Thomas from one job to another, thus proving that, as a boss, he was just fine for her to work under.

Plowboy, the god of Abraham done no such thing. God does not approve of the ungodly. Please seek help.

Reread my comment. I was not suggesting that I believe in a blue wave nor was I suggesting that Obama was not a lame duck. To spell one thing out clearly, the ability to appoint a Justice has nothing to do with trump’s abilities so his crowing is as empty as his head.

a serious situation
As usual well said Charlie but as usual Dana,s comments are as foolish as most of his comments, An insult to this site.

re- subject / Dana
Greetings I may need help,, but not on this one, here are three verses worth looking at Romans 13:1 (KJV) 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Daniel 2:21 (KJV) 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Habakkuk 1:6 (KJV) 6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not their's. As you can see, sometimes God exercises judgement on nations by the leaders he puts in office. Make no doubt about it Mister the annals of history will prove Obama to be the worst president ever elected to the highest office of the land, hopefully we as a nation repent. Dana as far as Trump's abilities he has consistently proven to put in place people who were very capable such as Mad Dog James Mattis and tougher than nails Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Now I see walmart has jumped on the bandwagon selling Impeach 45 clothing, poor Sam must be turning over in his grave....nuff said God Bless Plowboy

Not that anyone seems to notice
I had to look this up on dictionary.com: In general, a white person characterizing the hair of a black person as nappy or nappy-haired is widely considered very offensive, if not racist.

It is troubling to find a racist and vulgar comment on this site and find that I am the only one who has voiced a concern.

A woman should not have to be pregnant if she does not want to be
And we will not be quiet until this is the law of the land.
Posted by Nick
Response to Nick....." a woman does not have to be pregnant if she does not want to be"
Seems to me that there should be some "sex education" to learn HOW a woman GETS pregnant. It is not always a rape situation....especially OVER 60 MILLION babies being killed and many of their body parts sold..sounds almost like sacrificing the children to Baal.

I used to love you
*NOTE* Lauren, your comment did not get posted, because you did not include an email address, as requested in the "Please Read Before You Post" section. That being said, if you think that Charlie does not love all people of all colors, then you do not know Charlie's heart. Charlie gave up a job at a creosote factor - in part - to save the job of a black man who had much more experience, and much more seniority. He was eventually going to strike out on his own to make music, but he decided to go ahead and quit to save the man's job. Charlie has heroes who are people of color, great musicians, sports figures and other walks of life. Wanting secure borders for our country and not wanting to see our economy collapse because one party wants open borders allowing masses of people (not all of them with good intentions) into our country in hopes of ensuring a plethora of new Democrat voters does not make him any less of a Christ follower. - TeamCDB/BW
