The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

Human Events endorses Fred,

The question now is whether Sen. Thompson will do what he has not yet done: Take the advantages he is given by his intelligence, his principles, his political skills and this endorsement and make the best use of them.

As the primaries and debates speed by, we would like to see Sen. Thompson continue to invigorate his campaign to carry him successfully through Tsunami Tuesday and to nomination at the Republican convention.

Here is the recap on this exchange below from Real Clear Politics,

What’s great about this is that both candidates were in top form. Fred went hard after Huckabee, as he has to in South Carolina, in a way that grabbed conservatives’ attention, and Huckabee responded graciously, and quite disarmingly. One of the those rare moments that worked for both of them.

Captain’s Quarters,

Who put the vitamins in Fred Thompson’s oatmeal? We have waited for Thompson to show up on the campaign trail, and tonight he finally did. He had energy, focus, a command of detail, and a willingness to finally engage with the other candidates on the stage. He took almost everyone else aback, and seized momentum that he only occasionally relinquished.

Bob Krumm,

I think Fred Thompson accomplished what he intended to do in last night’s debate. Now we have to wait and see if his plan worked.

Post debate interview on Hannity & Colmes

Guess what? I’ve got Fred Fever, and only one thing can cure it,

UPDATE: Rush has got the FEVER.

Prior to Christmas, I had the opportunity to pose a very direct question on the Howie Carr Show about why former governor Romney ordered his Department of Health to change the marriage certificates from “husband” and “wife” to “partner A” and “partner B” without any accompanying legal statute and why he ordered his Justices of the Peace to solemnize and perform same sex marriage ceremonies or resign again without any accompanying legal statute which is illegal. Under the Massachusetts Constitution which John Adams authored:

“the people of the Commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent.” (Article X of the Massachusetts Constitution)

Since there was no “court order” (merely a declaratory opionion without consequential relief) and the people via their elected represetatives never provided their “consent” for changing the current marriage statute chap 207 to allow for “same sex marriage” Romney had no legal authority to issue same sex marriage certificates. (the court didn’t even have the constitutional jurisdiction in the first place to even hear the case in and of itself an impeachable offense.)

I also asked him if it may have had anything to do with his promise he had made in a secret meeting with the Log Cabin Republicans in 2002 not to oppose “same sex marriage” in Massachusetts in order to get their endorsement for governor. He didn’t deny this meeting or said promise.

And he very furtively ducked my question about ordering his Department of Health to change the marriage certificates.

Our friend Tom Blumer of bizzyblog discusses this issue further and talks about the irony of Romney calling me “delusional”:

Mitt Romney Calls Gregg Jackson ‘Delusional’; What Does That Make Romney?
OVERVIEW: On a major Boston talk show just before Christmas, Mitt Romney called a leading conservative author “delusional.” You know what they say about people in glass houses.

Mass Resistance has posted the audio and transcript of a call that took place on the air during the Howie Carr show on the afternoon of December 21 on WRKO in Boston.

The caller was Gregg Jackson, who is co-host of Pundit Review Radio on Sunday evenings on WRKO and is co-proprietor at the Pundit Review blog. Howie Carr’s guest was Objectively Unfit Mitt Romney, who in the course of answering Jackson’s question, showed exactly why he is, indeed, objectively unfit.

Keep in mind that Gregg is the author of “Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies,” a book that has earned rave reviews from the likes of Thomas Sowell (”political and media spin are shot to pieces by hard facts”) and David Limbaugh (”There is not a better one-stop-shop item to refute with evidence and examples the liberal lies.”).

The former Massachusetts governor, according to this debate footage (first 30 seconds of so at linked video), wants to: “….. bring together the same coalition that Ronald Reagan put together, conservatives fiscally, conservatives from a military standpoint, and conservatives socially,” and says that “….. I was a conservative Republican in a very Democrat state.”

Let’s see how Mr. Coalition-Building Conservative handled perfectly legitimate questions from (sorry Gregg, I’m going to make you blush) one of the rising stars of conservative punditry (bolds are mine; explanations of footnoted items are at the end of this post):

The fact that Romney lied about the court “legalizing same sex marriage” and that he was merely “following the law” when there is no such law is one of the primary reasons I have opposed his candidacy so vigorously. Romney, not the courts, gave Massachusetts “same sex marriage” and in the process shredded the oldest functioning constitution in the world. This alone I believe disqualifies him from the presidency.
