Today's entry will be brief. Here I am quoting two paragraphs from page 39 under the title of "Healing the Soul of America" with a sub-header "Protecting Americans' Civil Rights".
Democrats are committed to ending discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, language, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability status. We will appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges who look like America, are committed to the rule of law, will uphold individual civil rights and civil liberties as essential components of a free and democratic society, and will respect and enforce foundational precedents, including Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade. Democrats are committed to restoring the full power of the Voting Rights Act and ensuring every citizen can access the ballot box. We will enforce and strengthen the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and will end racial and religious profiling in law enforcement.
President Trump's words and actions have given safe harbor and encouragement to racists, anti-Semites, anti-Muslin bigots, and white supremacists. It's time to root out domestic terrorism in all its forms. We will use federal law enforcement tools and resources to address domestic terrorism, and if necessary work with Congress to pass a domestic terrorism law that is consistent with the Constitutional right to free speech and civil liberties.
Here are some of the issues I have with Democrats on these paragraphs.
1. The second sentence of the opening paragraph provides the list of qualifications for a Supreme Court Justice from a Democrat perspective. Note the absence of the Constitution of the United States. They do not want originalists on the court, rather, liberal activists who could care less what the Constitution actually says.
2. Note, also, among the list of Supreme Court qualifications the specific reference to Roe v. Wade. In other words, if the nominee has anything in their background which might result in the reversal of that case, they are unqualified. I suspect simply being nominated by President Trump will classify as something in their background. Supreme Court decisions have been reversed in the past (see the Dred Scott decision that I mentioned in yesterday's post for example). No justice can ever say they will or won't reverse a previous court decision including an activist judge since the justice must judge each case on its own merits. This is not true for the Democrats when it comes to "abortion rights".
3. I love this phrase from the first paragraph: "We will appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges who look like America". The justices must look like America? What does that mean? Of course they must be American citizens. How do you look like America? Ah, they want our justice system diverse. Do they want quotas on the justices? So many white, so many black, so many Latino, so many male, so many female? Instead of finding "diverse" justices, we need the BEST justices we can find no matter what their color, gender, race, or religion might be.
4. Per their first sentence, they are against all discrimination including those of a religious nature. Yet, depending on which candidate President Trump appoints, they will attack that nominee's faith. The Democrats are wonderful hypocrites.
5. Democrats claim they will ensure every citizen can access the ballot box. Is that not the case today? In fact, news articles in recent days have revealed there are folks who have been accessing the ballot box multiple times in one day and voting for Democrats more than once. Are Democrats saying they want felons to vote? Do they count illegal aliens as citizens? Which citizens do not have access to the ballot box? Providing each CITIZEN with a voting id card would give every citizen access to vote plus ensure no one votes multiple times. Yet Democrats always oppose voter id. Why? They demand I have an id to drive, an id to board an aircraft, but no id to vote. Their alternative is to push for mail-in unsolicited, uncertified ballots to everyone they can find. That's not helping everyone vote; its helping promote fraud.
6. The opening sentence of the second paragraph is simply not true. Those who are causing riots in American cities are not President Trump supporters. They are left wing anarchists, partially supported by Democrats including Democrats on Vice President Joe Biden's campaign staff. Antifa and BLM are domestic terrorists yet I never hear a Democrat condemn any of them. If the Democrats are so against domestic terrorism, why don't they speak against it (note last sentence of the second paragraph above)? Just last evening, I watched a political ad from the Biden campaign. VP Biden spoke against arson and theft in these riots (finally). But then he turned around and implied it was President Trump's "right wing militia" behind all of this. Everyone in this country know that is not true (see part 1).
The bottom line is that Democrats claim they are protecting Americans' Civil Rights while doing exactly the opposite. They only want ideological left justices, illegal voting, and left wing terrorist activities. Electing Democrats will destroy the very fabric of our nation.
