Barack Obama, Federalist Hangin' Judge?

Wow, who woulda thunk it?

I am torn.  I am inclined to view Obama as a cynical, leftist, moral relativist, and no doubt he would appoint judges exactly like the 5 that ruled in the majority here.   But, he has two daughters.  No dad with little girls can help but be deeply wrenched by this case.  Still, I think this is a freebie for Obama.  He can base his stance on his personal revulsion and use it to move to the center, which he needs to do, but would he really appoint judges with a federalist bent based on his views here?  No.  He'll appoint another Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the SCOTUS safe in the knowledge that it'll be some other guy's daughter that gets raped by a guy who doesn't have the death penalty to fear.

Just like with Boumediene, the Supreme Court has shown its ignorance of how the law as passed down by them is not the same as the realities that affect the world.  As Ralph Peters has pointed out, US soldiers fighting the war on terror now have every incentive after Boumediene to kill rather than capture.  What on Earth does the SCOTUS think a father of a little girl who has been violently raped  should do?  Accept justice on Breyer, Stevens, and Ginsburg's terms?  Not a chance.  If ever there was a dictat of the law that will inspire extra-judicial violence, this is it.  Father's have placed their franchise in the hand's of legislators who will express their deep feelings about the violation of their princesses in the body of the law, but no.  Ruth Bader Ginsburg says it is not "proportionate".  Fuck proportionate.  Mark these words, in due course a child rapist will die at the hands of a distraught father.  Justice will have been served in the opinion of most everybody except for five robed individuals and that father will face prison because all but five insulated elites have ignored the Constitution and imposed an extraneous notion upon the written law of the land.

Barack Obama, you are free riding.  If you are truly repulsed by this decision, declare that you will support federalist judges in all respects.  Otherwise you are a fraud.
