Obama and His Judges

Barack Obama has provided voters with all the motivation they should ever need to vote for someone more conservative than Barack Obama. It is called the judiciary.

In a 5-4 decision yesterday by the US Supreme Court, the leftist wing decided that sentencing a man to death for child rape is a disproportionate punishment for the crime, and is therefore cruel and unusual. Regardless of the savagery of the rape. Regardless of its repetition. Regardless of the damage done to the child. The only thing important in deciding whether the death penalty is deserved is whether or not the child dies during the attack, the death incidental to intent.

This is a no-win court case for Obama, because there is not a living, breathing soul on this planet that doesn't already know that the five judges with whom he disagrees on this case, are exactly the types of judges Obama wants to nominate for the judiciary. These five are the types of judges that Obama years for.

Obama has come out against the decision, recognizing that in this political year, standing on the side of a child rapist is an unpopular and unfortunate place to be standing.

We'll see how much of this he remembers, if he is elected President.
