Obama Lacks Judgement to Lead America

The selection of Supreme Court Justices will have a lasting impact on America. The NFRW rightly notes that Obama can't be trusted to select judges who will uphold the Constitution.

Obama = Poor Judgement...

If Barack Obama is elected it is possible that four Supreme Court Justices could be selected during his tenure. Do you trust him to select Supreme Court Judges?

Obama's Own Words

When asked what criteria Obama would require when selecting judges he said,

"We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges." - Barack Obama, To Planned Parenthood, July 17, 2007

Remarks of Senator Barack Obama on the Confirmation of Judge John Roberts

"Truly difficult cases" should involve "one's deepest values, one's core concerns, one's broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one's empathy." September 22, 2005


The Supreme Court Oath

According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath: "I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."


National Federation of Republican Women:

A Supreme Court Justice is to "do equal right to the poor and to the rich"- not just the poor as Obama believes.

A Supreme Court Justice is to, "administer justice without respect to persons,"-not taking into account if that person is "African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old," as Obama said.

A Supreme Court Justice is to, "be impartial,"-not talking in to account "one's deepest values, one's core concerns, one's broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one's empathy," as Obama said.


Barack Obama does not honor the Supreme Court Oath and its intent.

Do you trust him to select Supreme Court Justices?
