[Truth]

Well, you're the constitutional law prof. but from my limited point of view, Brennan was just another activist liberal judge. Liberal activism likes to cross dress a bit, you know? It just sounds so lofty to claim near clairvoyance in employing a seer like, dog and pony show dubbed "living document" in order to emphasize the end result over the method of approach, such as in the case of originalism, which restricts interpretive latitude.

Activists always want to change the law as it exists to accommodate current social fads and views. And because Brennan as a liberal, wanted to find a way to authorize or sanction abortion under the authority of the Constitution, he found a way to do so. It isn't in the text of the Constitution, but as in the case of the theory of evolution, men with agendas start with the answer they want, and then retro-engineer the data they need in order to validate the theory. Some deem such machinations to be dishonest.

While we are admonished not to judge others, your tagging of Brennan as an activist liberal is correct. Eisenhower stated on a number of occasions that the worst mistakes of his life were appointing Brennan and the equally radical liberal, Earl Warren, to the USSC. He was correct. Those were two devastating mistakes.

The bottom line in these appointments is that Democrats only appoint thoroughbred activist liberals who remain true to their philosophy. Republicans often fail miserably in nominating conservatives with such dedication and passion. Kennedy and Roberts, though allegedly devout Catholics, have been serious disappointments.

Who will replace Scalia? Obama nominates. The US Senate confirms or rejects. Obama, being completely loyal to his black half and ignoring his white half, will nominate a black. Who will that black be? Three good possibilities are Eric Holder who would be near impossible to confirm and may not be young enough to serve for 25 or 30 years, Loretta Lynch who is an absolute rubber stamp for any and all liberal causes, and Cory Booker who is a senator from New Jersey and, though a good spinner of neutrality, just as liberal as the other two. Do you doubt it? Obama is the most race oriented president in history. With him, everything is racial and his dominant half is always a victim. Thus, in light of how he thinks, how can he not nominate a black?

The Republican senators need to grow a backbone and stand strong. Voters, particularly those who believe in the Second Amendment, better wake up and vote as if their right to keep and bear arms is in danger of being taken away. Because, indeed, that is the case. All Obama, Clinton, and Sanders need is one more justice. Fate ridded them of their most able opponent. The other conservatives on the Court are not leaders like Scalia. I cannot overstate the seriousness of this constitutional crisis. Don't any of you doubt it.
