I don’t see “economic justice” in the Constitution

Despite all his promises, I don’t trust John McCain will pick judges that practice “judicial restraint.” But it’s incredibly disturbing that the Obama campaign can’t even mention the Constitution as it panders on potential Supreme Court appointees.

“The Straight Talk Express took another sharp right turn today as John McCain promised his conservative base four more years of out-of-touch judges that would threaten a woman’s right to choose, gut the campaign finance reform that bears his own name, and trample the rights and interests of the American people. Barack Obama has always believed that our courts should stand up for social and economic justice, and what’s truly elitist is to appoint judges who will protect the powerful and leave ordinary Americans to fend for themselves.”

Throw us a bone and pretend the Supreme Court is still around to uphold the Constitution before using collectivist-laden phrases like “economic justice” – which I can assure you scares the holy crap out of tons of Republicans and Independents.
