Right Opposition

E.J. Dionne Jr. is coming apart. Writing for the Washington Post this week Dionne focuses on Justice Samuel Alito’s widely publicized reaction to President Obama’s comment about the United Citizens ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court. Dionne, in an article he calls Justice Alito’s candid response to Obama’s rebuke, charges that Alito is a “judical activist” and that he serves the passions of conservative activism on the Robert’s court.

Here’s the truth. The court’s ruling does bypass precedent and says so in the ruling. It goes back to he founding document, t he Constitution. Noting that there was no more less restrictive ruling possible, the court bypassed what it saw as errant rulings and stood on our foundation of liberty.

It is the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech – not precedent.

Progressives depend upon precedent because every ruling moves us further from the original. Progressives are not interested the Constitution for it blocks their efforts. They hate the idea that people have the liberty to speak their mind either individually or in an assembly.

Dionne is just wrong. Alito is no activist. He reaches for original intent which he should.
