Democrats nominate judges who hate the Constitution and freely violate it.
Republicans nominate judges who love the Constitution and strive to uphold it.
@TheCobbler,
If you guys had wanted to require it, you shouldn't have been undermining liability insurance to begin with.
You can't come back and require something after you've already made it difficult to get.

Blind Drivers
Really people, why should blind people and the elderly who cannot see anymore be prohibited from driving? They don't look both ways when driving out into a busy street and when switching lanes but so what? In fact they can't even see the lines in the road let alone the road itself. They should still have a right to own a car and drive it for their own peace of mind. Teens who have never owned or driven a car should be able to take motor vehicles or any vehicle for a spin on the highway. The law certainly should not prohibit this. People intoxicated with liquor should be able to get behind the wheel and drive too. Sure it causes more deaths on the road but that is better than restrictive laws protecting others. These drunk people have rights too! Blind and elderly people have rights! It is not fair to let others drive and not them too... It is better to have more deaths on the road than to restrict people's rights! Drunk people may have impaired reflexes and poor judgment but they should still have the right to drive while intoxicated! Blind and intoxicated truck drivers too! The open road is big enough for everyone!
Airplane pilots flying from London to Rome, they should be able to pilot a plane even if they are blind or intoxicated. It is their right! So what if they consume a couple martinis or even a few bottles of vodka! People were allowed to ride horses while drunk! And what about these pesky speed limits? People have a right to drive as fast as they want, so what if the radio is blaring, they are two sheets to the wind and they are texting? It is their right! No one should limit the speed at which you travel either.
Sea captains piloting supertankers have a right to be blind and drunk while navigating. They should not be required to use radar either to navigate, ships of old were not required this modified technology! So what if they sink a tanker full of crude oil or nuclear fuel and poison an entire ecosystem, who cares? As long as their rights are not infringed upon...
@TheCobbler,
What in the world are you going on about?
Back in the old west there used to be medicine wagons that would travel from town to town selling cures for every ailment under the sun. If you had a boil on your body or a pain in your hip you could go up to the medicine wagon and buy a bottle of some sort of cure and drink it to find relief.
Many people despised the medicine wagon saying it was all fake and the cures were (horse piss) of no use if not dangerous and life threatening. Some people would drink these cures and die within days and the medicine wagon would have already moved on to the next town. There was no certification or license necessary to have one of these medicine wagons, just a small fortune to buy the wagon and stock it with medicinal supplies.
People protested this medicine wagon and tried to get it banned due to the harm it often caused those unfortunate enough to buy a cure from them. They protested to such a degree that the high courts of the land decided to weigh in on the medicine wagon and its cures.
The high courts ruled the every citizen had a legal "right" to approach one of these medicine wagons and buy whatever cure they chose might help them and drink it...
These laws stayed on the books as the law of the land all the way into the late nineteen-sixties and early seventies.
Drinking potions with unknown drugs was a personal choice and a human "right". Just like the "right" to protest and the "right" to a free press and the "right" to bear arms.
Then President Nixon came along, the sixties were rife with drugs and the government became concerned with public welfare. The main obstacle was the medicine wagon law.
The courts refused to budge on this law, they still believed that a person had a right to take whatever path to a cure they felt would benefit them the most.
They would not budge on that law until one singular event swayed the courts to reconsider the medicine wagon law. Thousands of hippies tripping on LSD decided to hold a protest at the US Pentagon. They organized their Woodstock type event and descended on the largest military facility in the country and proceeded to exercise their "right" of the medicine wagon.
This terrified our government and the conservatives of our country were horrified at these dirty tripping hippies and their hard rock music!
Thus, on that day, the war on drugs was born.
People no longer have the right to drink the potions sold by the traveling medicine wagons (Today they are called "drug dealers".)
President Nixon used this singular event to sway the nation against the rights of the people to do drugs.
It was the first amendment that was used to justify this change in the law.
People could not exercise their right to the pursuit of happiness with a bunch of tripping militant hippies on the loose.
So it was a republican president who did away with the right to the medicine wagon law.
They used science, not religion, to justify their case against open public drug use. The rights of the people were replaced by big government in bed with the pharmaceutical companies.
This demonstrates that laws and "rights" enacted many years ago can over time erode and become a detriment to public welfare.
@coldjoint,
I wrote those blurbs and the "intelligent" people that matter, read it.
@coldjoint,
People who don't care about public welfare also don't matter...
There are enough good people otherwise who will pick up the slack.
@TheCobbler,
True: I believe most Americans are generous, and share some of what they have with people who lack food and shelter, and that includes other countries.
@coldjoint,
Well, that's only fair I suppose........I look at your posts for pretty much the same thing.
