I want to warn the reader that our Court system is still, still falling apart. We have more loons now leading the Appeals Courts in varied sections of the nation as well as in state courts. The issues range from approving of homosexual teachings in public schools to approving licenses for illegal immigrants. It is amazing that America has such courts which seem as nutty as some of the criminals they are supposed to judge. Ideologies, ideas, government or business projects also seem to come up more and more in their adjudications. Not only are the decisions void of common sense, they seem to have no moral basis either. Criminals seem to get off with a slap on the wrists. Then we hear some sillies asking for a moritorium on the death penalty. Hardly anyone gets put to death for their horrendous crimes anymore. We have nearly, what is it, some 5000 on death row. And some have been there for years. Yipe. They should have all been executed and that would save the taxpayers much money. Illegals run free and the courts 'feel sorry for them.' Feelings have nothing to do with the law. Yet, that is how people 'think', they feel. Justice is weird nowadays. And then we have the election of 2008 coming up. Why is that important to courts? Because the President might get to appoint as many as 6 justices in either a 4-yr. or 8-yr. administration. How the SCOTUS reads the law is important to our citizens. If one is a liberal or a conservative, judges mean something for a generation. Who will get to choose those jurists? That, to me, is one of the highest priorities to vote in the '08 election.
