Weak Protest Seen by my House

Apparently an antiwar protest rambled through my neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. I wish I had pictures, but I only saw it from a cab and didn't have a camera. There were at most 100 people at most marching and chanting something unintelligible, being slowly followed by a paddy wagon (yes I know some people think that phrase is insulting to the Irish, screw them I've heard dozens of drunk Irish call it that too). I'm sure the wagon was filled with cops wishing the protesters would get out of hand so they could beat some sense into them, well at lesat I was.

How did I know it was an anti-war protest you ask? I think the giant Palestinian flag is what gave it away. What Palestine has to do with protesting the Iraq war I have no idea.

Immortal I tell you, immortal

See, I'm not some crazy person thinking there is nothing to stop us from living forever. I do go farther than this guy. Thousands of years is just the beginning. There is nothing that prevents us from living forever (other than anvils dropped from above or islamist beheaders, etc.). We can replace everything that we are made of, it was made in the first place by us. Our cells can't forget the plan, it is spelled out by our DNA. We will figure this out in my lifetime...woohoo!.

My view on the Supreme Court

I want the court to give the power back to the constitution. If people want to change the constitution then they can go through the proscribed way and amend the constitution. I hate the idea of a "living constitution.” It’s not alive, it’s a piece of paper that is the foundation of our society. Foundations aren’t alive, they are solid and unmoving. Foundations secure what is above them, they hold the structure solidly. If the foundation isn’t followed the structure will collapse. Sometimes we need to repair or strengthen the foundation to hold a new structure, but you always have to fix the foundation first before building the new structure.

Unfortunately, the government has been building without a permit and our foundation is showing signs of stress. Hairline cracks are developing and water is starting to seep in. The SCOTUS needs to halt this expansion and ensure that the foundation is strengthened. The SCOTUS must force the Congress and President to build within the foundation. If the people desire it, the foundation can be changed and will support the new structure.

This is why I doubt I will support Miers. She hasn't convinced me or conservatives voices I listen too, and even those conservatives I don't listen to.

Miers isn't qualified

Plain and simple. I want a conservative who has been arguing for enforcement of the 10th amendment, the diminishing the power of the commerce clause, the second amendment, “equal protection”, sadly private property rights, and many other matters of concern to me. Nothing in Miers past indicates that she has honed her arguments of persuasion with other constitutional scholars. She is out of her league. SCOTUS is not only about politics and favoritism. It is about intellectual and philosophical arguments. She will really have to wow me in her confirmation hearings to generate even neutrality out of me.
