LATEST MSM PROPAGANDA ABOUT OBAMA: HE'S A PRAGMATIST WHO WILL SELECT A JUDICIAL PRAGMATIST TO REPLACE SOUTER

NYTIMES:

As a Professor, a Pragmatist About the Supreme Court

Many American presidents have been lawyers, but almost none have come to office with Barack Obama’s knowledge of the Supreme Court. Before he was 30, he was editing articles by eminent legal scholars on the court’s decisions. Later, as a law professor, he led students through landmark cases from Plessy v. Ferguson to Bush v. Gore. (He sometimes shared his own copies, marked with emphatic underlines and notes in bold, all-caps script.)

This photo provided by Harvard University Law School shows Barack Obama as a student at the school in Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 6, 1990. Obama came to Harvard in the fall of 1988 after graduating from Columbia University and spending four years as a community organizer in Chicago.

Now Mr. Obama is preparing to select his first Supreme Court nominee to replace retiring Justice David H. Souter. In interviews, former colleagues and students say they have a fairly strong sense of the kind of justice he will favor: not a larger-than-life liberal to counter the conservative pyrotechnics of Justice Antonin Scalia, but a careful pragmatist with a limited view of the role of courts.

THIS IS UTTER BS AND TOTAL CRAP. REPEAT: WHEN THE NYTIMES WRITES THIS: a careful pragmatist with a limited view of the role of courts - IT IS A LIE. A DELIBERATE LIE.

FOR OVER A YEAR OBAMA HAS REPEATEDLY AVOWED WHAT WILL DETERMINE HIS PICK:

[OBAMA:] “I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book,

it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives,

whether they can make a living, and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes, and welcome in their own nation.

I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with peoples hopes and struggles as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes.”

OBAMA SEEKS AN ACTIVIST WHO WILL DECIDE CASES BASED ON OUTCOMES AND NOT THE LAW. HE SAID THIS DOZENS OF TIME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. IT'S WHAT HE WILL DO AND WHO HE WILL PICK.

• THIS IS NOT PRAGMATISM; IT IS ALINSKY ACTIVISM - AND IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND BAD FOR OUR NATION.

• SEE THE SUB-TITLE OF ALINSKY'S BOOK? HERE: "A PRAGMATIC PRIMER FOR REALISTIC RADICALS".

• THIS IS THE KIND OF "PRAGMATIST" OBAMA IS: AN "ALINSKY PRAGMATIST".

• LOOK AT THE PHOTO ABOVE (IN THE NYT ARTICLE) - OF OBAMA SUPPOSEDLY TEACHING LAW:
  

• IT DOESN'T SHOW OBAMA PARSING THE LAW;
  

• IT DEPICTS OBAMA DIAGRAMMING "POWER RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ECONOMY", (CORPORATIONS, BANKS, UTILITIES); IT'S MARXIST ANALYSIS PURE & SIMPLE.

WHEN IT WRITES THAT OBAMA IS A REGULAR OL' PRAGMATIST, THE NYTIMES IS NOT REPORTING; IT'S PROPAGANDIZING.

AS USUAL.

DON'T BE DUPED.

UPDATE (VIA GLENN REYNOLDS):

MARK STEYN AGREES: Obama looks moderate, acts radical
