Barack Hussein Obama never flinched when informed while on the golf course that Justice Scalia had died. But, he made it abundantly clear shortly after he completed his round that he fully intended to name a replacement of his choice for the job and that Congress had better damned-well confirm that appointment.
Why?
Obama has made his displeasure with the Court known on numerous occasions. The nine-member Court was equally divided between liberals and conservatives, with Justice Kennedy often being the determining "swing"vote. Scalia was a notorious conservative Constitutional constructionist who believed that the founding document must either be followed as it was written and originally intended, or that it had to be amended. Obama will definitely do everything within his power to appoint a Judge who has a history of liberal activism. And if that happens, my friend, you can kiss your Bibles and your guns goodbye.
We know how lamely the Republicans have stood up to Obama's demands in the past. The Senate is the body to confirm Obama's appointment. We must be prepared to dig in our heels and demand that the Senate vote down any liberal appointment to the bench proffered by Obama. We must also make it known that any Senator who votes to approve such an appointment will be replaced.
There has never been a more urgent issue requiring our individual attention as citizens to occur in this country in my lifetime.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
