More Catholic Professor Kmiec Obama Nonsense!!!

I intend to do another major post on all this BS that he is spouting. Hopefully this weekend. Go see Southern Appeal's Murder, Inc. and Kmiec both heart Obama. Read the update too. This latest piece is so and misleading it is incredible

There was a comment really struck me at the above entry:


I found amusing Kmiec’s attack on McCain wanting to return abortion law to the states by overturning Roe.
Here is a quote from Kmiec in 2006 on the federal partial birth abortion ban:

“I wish it weren’t a federal issue, but I do believe that Congress is acting under the Roe v. Wade specter we are living under,” he added. Douglas Kmiec, a conservative constitutional law professor at Pepperdine University, concurred that Congress became involved with the issue only after the courts “removed the states from the playing field” by way of both Roe v. Wade, as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which upheld Roe in 2000. “Congress did what it could [under the circumstances],” said Kmiec.

While he agrees with Sekulow’s position “as a matter of policy,” Kmiec said the Court’s 2005, Gonzales v. Raich ruling, which allowed federal anti-drug laws to override state laws that allow the use of medical marijuana, had set a new precedent concerning Congressional power. Kmiec, who submitted a brief in the Raich case, said in an ideal world, Congress would have no bearing on either medical marijuana or abortion.

“The genius of the constitutional system is allowing individual states decide these questions, thereby accommodating a greater range of political and religious Americans who could have multiple answers as to when life begins,” said Kmiec, who added that deciding to impose a national policy “is a prescription for a lot of angry unhappy people.” “People feel strongly about this issue, and there is no consensus, and to pretend there is one at the national level is just that—to pretend,” he said.”

I would love a debate between the pre-Obama Kmiec and the post-Obama Kmiec.

Indeed I would too.
