Judicial Jeopardy

   One thing that I have not heard much about during this election cycle is the potential of naming new members to the Supreme Court.  If just one conservative judge is replaced by a liberal one, it will tip the balance toward judicial activism.  This is an enormously dangerous situation.  When our country is needing to return to Constitutional principles, we cannot afford to have judges who do not look just to the US Constitution when making judgments.  Right now, we already have one judge who has said she would not suggest other countries to use our Constitution as a good example to follow.  We also have judges who go to legal precedents which are made in foreign countries because they do not think our Constitution is good enough.
    We certainly should consider this issue when going to the voting booth in November.  We can already see what attitude President Obama has concerning justice.  His attorney general is an example of the kind of leadership he would like to have concerning justice.  The two justices which have already been named by President Obama are activist judges.  If we want to return our country to remain a Constitutional republic, we must have a new President.  There are some who claim that we already are not a Constitutional republic.  I tend to agree.
