"We [judges, when making decisions] must look for inspiration beyond our borders, to the laws and constitutions of other nations"?

Or do you want a justice who respects the rule of law and adheres to our Constitution, thereby protecting our rights? A Democrat controlled legislature would "Bork" any truly good justice.

A more recent example of leftist judicial activism, albeit on a state level, is the New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling in favor of anti-marriage. Unbelievably, after admitting that no right to civil unions or anti-marriage exists in the New Jersey Constitution, the justices simply decided they would trump the will of the people and become a de facto oligarchy.

As critical as understanding what happened, however, is understanding how it happened. The people of NJ voted for liberal politicians (even the Republicans in NJ are quite liberal) who appointed and confirmed bad judges who, in turn, issued bad rulings. It's easy to understand if you can connect the dots and follow A to B to C. The problem is that people simply complain about the C, forget all about the B, and then re-elect the A. Yes, people get the government they deserve. And if we don't deserve the C, we'll remember the A.

In the same vein, this past July the Democrats actually admitted that they formulated a "five-point plan for fighting state ballot measures calling for banning same-sex marriage." Please read the linked article. The frankness about their desire to thwart the will of the people and destroy marriage is stunning.

In light of the aforementioned, will middle class Americans continue leaning toward liberal Democrats in the thinking that the latter better understand their plight? After all, liberals' seeming disdain for private property rights and love of homosexual causes belies this notion and illuminates the reality. Liberals claim to be for the common man. In truth, they're only for the uncommon man.

Make no mistake, the liberal Democrats whose ascendancy seems imminent, led by Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, have plans for you. Oh, they're not plans proclaimed loudly from mountaintops because this might give the peons second thoughts. Nor are they plans whose design will serve us. But here are some other things to expect if liberals take the helm.

1. The border fence will never be built. Remember that it still has to be funded (there's some question as to whether it will be funded anyway), and San Francisco Pelosi and her ilk will never let that happen.

2. There will probably be an irresistible effort to grant amnesty to the twenty-million illegal aliens in our nation. Then, once these illegals bring in their families, we may see an influx of fifty to eighty-million more from the Third World.

3. Expect an effort to repeal the partial-birth abortion ban, the law that prohibits what is nothing less than infanticide.
