The Abortion Irony

As I continue to follow the Roberts Confirmation, it suddenly struck me.

The Democrats are afraid that Judge Roberts will with one stroke of the pen overturn Roe vs. Wade. At the same time, they applaud judges as courageous who will summarily give homosexual couples the same status of marriage.

It's clear to Democrats that the only judges who belong on the Supreme Court are judges who will pursue a liberal agenda but not conservative one.

The conservatives, on the other hand, believe that only judges who belong on the Supreme Court are those who interpret the Constitution based on the original intent of the Founding Fathers.  Abortion, homosexual rights are states-rights issues and it is the job of the legislature, not the judiciary.
