Biden-Harris still refuse to list justice nominees
View from Behind the Plow
(A column of opinion by Gary Reid, Publisher Emeritus)
It is highly suspect that the Biden-Harris Democrat ticket refuses to announce a list of Supreme Court nominees.
There have already been threats by the left to stack the Supreme Court – as well as other federal courts – when Democrats come to power
This is a response to President Donald Trump’s nomination of a practicing Catholic, Amy Coney Barrett, to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
If Barrett is confirmed by the Senate, which seems a sure thing, it would provide a conservative majority on the Court for the first time in years.
The left has relied on the Court to enact policies (rewrite the Constitution) that the left could not pass legislatively.
Biden and Harris Abortion Supporters
While both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris assert their Catholic faith, their records show unfailing support for abortion, which violates Catholic tenets.
While we have no way of knowing Biden and Harris’ with relationship with his-her creator, their records show a disdain for protecting unborn lives.
Biden is on the record with this remark:
“I’m personally pro-life but support a woman’s right to choose.” During this election cycle he has gone so far as to disavow a decades-long support for the Hyde Amendment – the long-standing federal ban on taxpayer subsidization of snuffing out unborn human life.
Harris has been vocal about her so-called Reproductive Rights Act, which would call for Justice Department “pre-clearance” before any state-level abortion restriction might be enforced.
This is a long stretch from the Court’s decrees in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which at least feigned interest in fetal health.
The left has already unleashed a deluge of anti-Catholic bigotry against Barrett, in preparation for an all-out assault against her during hearings.
Harris was a leading character assassin in the hearings for now Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Election of Biden-Harris would mean a grievous setback for Freedom of Religion of all Americans.
The fact that Biden won’t reveal a list of potential Supreme Court nominees means they are far to the left, even further than those picked by President Obama.
Columnist Josh Hammer puts it this way:
“At a theoretical level, it has never been clearer that progressivism, the (misnamed) pseudo-intellectual tail that wags the Democratic Party dog, despises religiosity. Modern leftists, political inheritors of Karl Marx’s infamous ‘opiate of the masses’ broadside against the Judeo-Christian tradition, are wont to view religion as an atavistic roadblock to full human ‘enlightenment.’ They recoil at the notion that an intelligent person can actually believe biblical truth – can actually believe in the divinity of Scripture.”
On the reverse side, President Trump, with a morally-checkered past – like most people – has been a loyal friend of religious and traditional America.
He has made good on his campaign promises of 2016.
He has declared America won’t become a socialist country during his watch.
Because he refuses to go along with the left’s agenda, he has become the most brutalized president in memory – smeared by mistruth and innuendo from the moment he was elected by dishonest left-wing big media.
Equally as important as re-electing President Trump in order to save a free America is retaining a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, which could restrain the “progressive” instincts of a Biden-Harris administration should that unhappy event occur.
This election certainly is “a time for choosing.” Americans’ constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms hang in the balance.
Politics Getting Even Weirder
The political noise continues to get weirder the closer the nation comes to the Nov. 3 election.
It’s a sign that the left is scared to death that its planned takeover may die at the polls.
The report that the FBI arresteed a group planning to kidnap the Democrat governor of Michigan is filled with holes.
The left immediately claimed it was “Trump’s fault.” How unusual is that?
However, the entire episode could use additional investigation.
It stinks to high heaven. For one thing, it is so convenient for such an occurrence now. We’re not saying it’s a fabrication but it does seem strangely convenient.
Another interesting point revealed after the supposed kidnappers were identified is that one of them is an anarchist and hates Trump.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a release alleging that Trump spread fear and hatred among hate groups and refused to condemn white supremacists, which is untrue.
Like we said, they’re desperate.
By the way, remember to vote. It’s vitally important.
