Grab a beverage, and be prepared to laugh your ass off.

Pepperdine constitutional Law professor and Romney legal adviser Douglas Kmiec wrote an Oct. 10, 2007, article for National Review Online trumpeting Romney’s promise to appoint judicial conservatives.

“Romney is pledged to name to the Supreme Court individuals with the intellectual qualities and philosophy of judicial restraint of Justice Scalia, Alito and Roberts,” Kmiec wrote.

He added a warning line: “We cannot afford a president who is only faking his attachment to conservative legal principle.”

Sounds good, huh? Let’s look at the record, shall we?

Legal analysts say candidate Romney is different from Gov. Romney.

Liberty Counsel Action Vice President Matt Barber said Romney’s appointments were constitutional “living document” poster children.

“Many of Romney’s appointments were not only liberal, not only Democrats, but were radical counter-constitutionalists. How on earth can we expect that, as president, he would be any different?” Barber asked rhetorically.

“Actions speak louder than words, and Mitt Romney’s actions as governor scream from the rooftops that he cannot be trusted with this most important of presidential responsibilities.”

Barber cites two specific examples of Romney’s radical appointments.

“As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney not only failed in this regard, he appointed a number of very liberal, if not radical, ‘living, breathing’-minded judges to the bench,” Barber said.

Any clues there? Ya think? A fair bit more about the things he’s said vs the things he’s actually done. Leopards, spots, etc.

I’d be willing to lay odds that if you look at the Constitution, Not A Single Word On That Parchment Has Changed. It is NOT a “living, breathing” document, it is the immutable rock that this nation was founded on. “Living, breathing” infers flexible and malleable, like quicksand. You build a building on quicksand, it sinks. You cover a rock with enough dirt, you eventually hide it, but it’s still there to be excavated by those who wish to find it.
