GOA says "Don't nominate Gonzales!"
On Friday I posted a message asking readers to email the President and ask him not to nominate Gonzales to the Supreme Court. The Carnival of Cordite featured the article, but the organizer editorialized against it. On Monday, Gun Owners of America mailed out a request
to their readers to contact President Bush and ask him not to nominate
Gonzales -- a request that is very similar even in wording to my own.
I consider myself vindicated. Here's their sample letter:
Dear President Bush:
With the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, you are faced
with a tremendous opportunity to appoint a constitutional scholar who
truly understands the rule of law and respects the Bill of Rights.
Unfortunately, Alberto Gonzales is NOT that man!
As one who respects the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
(especially the Second Amendment), I hope that you will not appoint
someone who holds views similar to those of Gonzales.
You truly made an excellent choice in putting Justice Janice Rogers
Brown on the federal bench. She understands the Second Amendment
protects an individual right, and she realizes that the Supreme Court
is supposed to interpret, not make, the laws. I hope that you will
nominate either her or someone like her to the Supreme Court. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
|
