I read about the potential plan to save money by cutting funding for f-22s. This plan would save 3 billion at the cost of national defense and thousands of jobs, meanwhile millions of bailout dollars go to things like digital tv vouchers. (I'm sure you've read about the ridiculous projects being funded.) Guess he wants us to be able to literally watch him stomp on American workers and the Constitution.

Supreme Court Rule 10 governs when the Court will grant certiorari to hear a case. Marbury v. Madison settled the power of the Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality and validity of actions by the federal gov't, and this power was later extended in Martin v. Hunters Lessee. The basis for this is that if a law is in conflict with the Constitution, and the Supreme Court is the ultimate authority on the Constitution pursuant to Article III Section II, the Court doesn't have to follow the law. You've probably noticed by now that too many of the Court's decisions reflect their own value judgments (ex: many of the right to privacy cases) and not the law.
If you want to learn more about this, read up on judicial review, separation of powers, and different methods for interpreting the Constitution. i.e. normative, positivist.

McCain didn't hold conservative or Christian principles. That's why he gave us Palin. We need someone else who sees America the way we see it, the way Reagan saw it....the shining city on a hill. Other than Palin, the 08 candidates (including Huckabee whom I supported briefly) are a far cry from what I'm looking for.
