Let me introduce myself : "I 'm the devil with the Blue Dress On", no just kidding.
I come here to share common ground on common thought about this Great State and Nation.[/size]
I will agree to disagree about our different views, I hope I do not offent anyone.
Just read an article I would like to share with you:
By: Dan Juneau
GOVERNMENT, THE ECONOMY AND JOHN ROBERTS
07/25/2005
President Bush has announced his choice for the retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Bush has nominated a young (by Supreme Court standards) judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia named John G. Roberts to replace her. A grueling confirmation process still lies ahead with left-wing interest groups trying to make this competent attorney and legal intellect sound like a right-wing Neanderthal. But they won't succeed. John Roberts will be confirmed, with many Democrats joining virtually every Republican to put this most qualified individual on the nation's highest court.
Once Roberts arrives on the Court, where will his major impact lie? Most likely on economic issues and important questions surrounding the power of governments at all levels.
From a business standpoint, President Bush's choice of Roberts was a home run. Everything in Roberts' background indicates that he has a strong belief in the free-market system. As former economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Larry Kudlow, recently wrote: "Roberts is likely to take the view that government should get out of the way and not pick the winners and losers; that government should work to level the playing field and trust markets to get the job done."Why is it important to have someone with Roberts' economic philosophy on the Court? Because approximately 40 percent of the cases adjudicated by the Supreme Court involve questions relating to business and the economy. No other sitting justice will have Roberts' extensive background and knowledge pertaining to these issues that are so critical to business and industry.
Don't expect one of business' major adversaries—the class action plaintiff attorneys—to be supportive of Roberts. Lawsuit abuses have grown so frequent and cumbersome that even Congress—that bastion of inertia on controversial issues—has recently stepped in to address some of the class action lawsuit excesses. It won't be long before the class action attorneys are challenging Congress' recently approved legislation in the courts. Without second-guessing how the nominee might vote, business can take comfort in the fact that someone with Roberts' extensive knowledge of law and the economy will not only be voting on the high court, he will in all likelihood be a major force in fashioning the rulings that are handed down.
One of the major sources of conflict on the Rehnquist Court has been over the powers exercised by governments generically, and the division of sovereign authority between the federal and state governments. In general, there has been a movement toward giving the states—rather than the federal bureaucracy—more power over decisions affecting the lives of their citizens. Roberts is likely to be generally supportive of that trend. But he is also likely to attempt to rein in some of the excesses the Supreme Court has generated under the auspices of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Again quoting Kudlow: "As Mark Levin writes in his best selling book, Men in Black, [color=red]the Court has so expanded the commerce clause that it has helped create a huge regulatory state where activist judges have seized private property, taken over school systems and prisons, interceded in private-sector hiring and firing practices, ordered farm quotas and property-tax increases.... By all accounts, John Roberts will not go down this path."[/color]
From a business standpoint, John Roberts may be the best appointment ever made to the U.S. Supreme Court, not because he will be an advocate, but because he may well be the most knowledgeable justice regarding the impact of court rulings and government regulations on the engine of the economy. May he be confirmed quickly and serve for a long time.
