Barack Obama, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Could it happen, like Taft? This occured to me while reading A Liberal Scalia?
I laughed at Freddie's left vs. right parody in the comments...
Abortion:
“A woman’s right to choose is connected to an inherent right to privacy; the state has no legitimate interest in the decisions made between a woman and her doctor.”
“ABORTION IS MURDER!”
Affirmative Action:
“Because of a centuries-long tradition of systematic discrimination, and because the battle against racism is ongoing, it is both fair and pragmatically beneficial to have a system of affirmative action that provides opportunity for racial minorities.”
“RACE BLIND! RACE BLIIIIIIIIIIND! YOU HATE WHITE PEOPLE!”
Gun Control:
“While few of us call for an outright ban on private gun ownership, the good of society compels us to ask for a stringent regulatory regime regarding the possession of firearms.”
“FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!”
Taxation:
“Although we should endeavor to create a society that provides many opportunities for personal wealth and material abundance, because the rich are capable of being taxed more without taking a significant hit to their standards of living, and because society has a legitimate need to provide opportunity for all strata of society, a progressive income tax is desirable.”
“STOP STEALING MONEY YOU STEALING STEALERS!”
Foreign Policy:
“Although we must be vigilant in protecting our borders and interests, and swiftly act to defend ourselves from threats at home and abroad, a judicious, restrained military apparatus both ensures a more effective response and protects the international reputation that is so dear to our diplomatic maneuvers.”
“KILL THEM ALL! KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THE BASTARDS!”
The protection of civil rights in a time of crisis:
“While we recognize that the threats we face are real and major, we must not abandon our core values of freedom, privacy and due process, as doing so would damage our country and its ideals just as much as any terrorist attack, and indeed may not prevent an attack in the first place.”
“AL QAEDA GONNA KILL YOU! THEY’RE GONNA KILL YOU! THAT CALL CAME FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE AND IT WAS OSAMA ON THE LINE!”
