Now, what kind of Justices do we really need? Ones who are not going to find exceptions to every single civil right every chance they get.
It is widely accepted that the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights were limits on Government. It created the framework for a justice system that had a very high threshold to reach to violate the civil rights of the individual. On paper those rights are awesome. In practice, those rights are so watered down as to be meaningless.
We need Justices who are going to hold to the letter of the Amendments, instead of finding exception after exception. We are all familiar with the Miranda Warning. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Ok. So at any time you have the right to shut the hell up and stop answering questions. Except that when someone did that, the Prosecutor said that the person did not invoke their Fifth Amendment, and their refusal to answer questions was used as proof of their guilt. The exact opposite of what was intended. Instead of putting the burden on the Government to prove guilt, thanks to the Supremes we have a system where you have to prove you are innocent.

We need Justices who are not going to find fifty thousand exceptions to your right to be secure in person and papers. We need Justices who are not going to find exceptions to all of our rights. Exceptions should be rare, and extreme. Not common.
All the Conservatives decided your silence could be used against you. So do we need more Conservatives to erode our civil rights? Wouldn’t the “conservatives” and “Origianlists” be in favor of protecting the letter of the Civil Rights as well as the intent?
Conservatives found that ignorance of the law was a great excuse for the police to violate your civil rights. Why do you want more of that? Wouldn’t we want fewer situations where we’re going to rubber stamp excesses by the police? I mean, we are essentially making the police untouchable, and unaccountable which is the exact opposite of the intent of the framers for a limited Government.
While you are squalling about something the Supreme Court has NOTHING TO DO WITH the Iran Nuclear Agreenemnt, you are ignoring all the things that the Supremes do have say in. Things like Kelo which allows the Goverment to take your land, and give it to campaign contributors. Obviously NOT the intent of the Founders when they described Eminent Domain. But hey, we need more Conservatives who are going to give the Government even more authority over our lives and strip away even more of our rights because that was what the Founders fought against by declaring independence.
In other words, your entire asinine argument is so full of shit you must literally have it squirting out your years like a fountain.
