In just a couple of sentences, Whoopi Goldberg reduces McCain to a blubbering mess over his claim he will appoint judges that aren’t activists and won’t legislate from the bench.
Watch (about 1:30 into the video):
She is so right. The Rabid Right is good at pushing this pathetic nonsense about activist judges, yet are quick to applaud every past civil rights ruling on issues that were clearly not in the Constitution.
Brown v. Board of Education? Yep, an “activist court” outlawed segregation (and segregation would have been fully approved by the writers of the Constitution, their slaves in tow.)
Griswold v. Connecticut? yep, an “activist court” found a right to basic privacy.
Gideon v. Wainwright? An “activist court” found that defendants are entitled to the most basic legal representation.
Miranda v. Arizona? An “activist court” found that a suspect must be told he has the right to remain silent.
Loving v. Virginia? An “activist court” found that members of two different races can marry one another.
There are many others, and no Republican in his right mind would say that he feels these decisions by “activist judges legislating from the bench” were wrong to rule as they did.
So why don’t these Rabid Righters call a spade a spade and say what they really mean? I’ll do it for them:
“When we say we don’t want activist judges, what we mean is that we don’t like judges ruling in favor of homosexuals, affirmative action, and abortion rights…and we will appoint judges who agree with us.”
Go on, say it. It’s good to get the bigotry off your chest. Because if you don’t, you’ll end up the same slobbering mess that McCain became at the hands of Whoopi Goldberg.
