Sotomayor Does Not View the Constitution as "Settled Law"

It is the Constitution that is to decide what is and is not "settled law". It was NEVER up to Supreme Court Judges to decide what "settled law" is. That is a FALLACY that too many have been hood-winked by. Supreme Court Justices take an OATH to UPHOLD what our Constitution declares---just as politicians do. If they do not abide by that "oath", then they need to be "impeached". There is NO OTHER common sense solution to the matter. No "gray areas" when it comes to upholding the Constitution of our nation.

Until 1973, the civil government spent huge amounts of tax revenue to force men and women to be compulsory parents. The Far Right represents Big Government, using the civil power to enforce Canon 2350, the Catholic Church law that bans abortion. The number of Canon 2350 changed but the law is the same. Canon Law bans abortion and attempted self-destruction. These church laws exist because each conception is thought to be a POTENTIAL CONVERT. If the conception is not aborted, the pregnancy might produce a person who will pay the ten per cent lifetime tithe to a church. If the person pays 10% of a steady annual wage of $40,000 over 40 years, that's $160,000. I'm scolded for calling attention to this connection between MONEY and Pro-Life, but it exists. Read the Code of Canon Law. It says the church has the right, independent of the civil power, to collect money to support the church. It tells exactly who is to pay that money--it is to come from church members. In the 1980's, The Humanist published my article saying the Catholic Church violates church law and civil law when it takes religious tax exemption. Congress is packed with Creationists, so this violation of civil law continues.

This comment must start with the reminder that the pope leads Ban Abortion political action. It incites interfaith attacks on abortion clinics. Men are affected by laws that force them to be fathers. The leading cause of death of pregnant women is being killed by the men who impregnate them. The U.S.A. in a cartoon, is Uncle Sam. The Vatican City State is the pope. As in a cartoon, I see the pope peering into a bedroom window, a Peeping Tom, when the word "privacy" is used in connection with reproduction. But the word "privacy" is being used to try to nullify Roe v Wade. I want to prepare lawyers to save Roe by publicizing the fact that it is about the MOBILITY of women--their freedom to MOVE AROUND, to GO where they want to go. They must be able to TRAVEL, to circumambulate, to create a change of scenery--to have freedom of action. Sen. Graham, a male who can never be pregnant and never know what it means to be a single mother belonging to a minority race, is on record for the way he attacked the nominee. He seems to want pregnant American women to stay at home like all Muslim women, until a male relative lugs them around,

In 2012 we must vote for Governor Sarah Palin to become our President and Governor Mitt Romney to become our Vice President starting on January 20, 2013 , because of Governor Sarah Palin's and Governor Mitt Romney's superior right wing conservative philosophy. Governor Sarah Palin's and Governor Mitt Romney's superior right wing philosophy is shown in that they are pro God and Christianity, pro life, pro marriage; pro guns-second amendment, pro low taxes, pro low government spending; pro small government, pro unintrusive government, pro traditional and Judeo Christian values; pro Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, pro Christians schools and private education , pro private and free enterprise; pro military spending, anti arms agreements with Russia, pro creation; pro nuclear, pro conservative supreme court judges, pro American sovereignty; pro capitalism, anti communist, anti socialist; conservative on immigration, pro individual , and pro constitution
