川普肯定会提名一位女性,这点我觉得大家几乎是有共识的。我一直不理解为何很多人说川普是歧视女性的人,我认为纽约长大的川总是完全自由派观点的人,他应该具有一个自由派所有的价值观,只是在美国的左右较量中他因为个人理念选择了保守派,这样比较好解释他过去做的一切,以及现在说的做的。他不是种族主义者,他和Ben
Carson医生的深厚交情证明这点,每次我想到Ben
Carson医生如此信任他,真是觉得人与人之间的真知己莫过如此。请看《纽约时报》登的这位黑人医生为他的辩护,Ben Carson Defends on Race。要知道,这位医生参加过2016年总统大选的共和党提名和辩论,他退出的时候坚定地支持川普,而不是Ted Cruz。
好了,不岔话题了。现在让我预测一下川普总统的下一个大法官提名人,并解释一下为何我相信会是她。
这个人就是Amy
Coney Barrett(巴瑞特),一个敬虔的天主教信徒,曾经的天主教大学Notre Dame
University法学院教授。当她于2017年参加7th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals(美国联邦第七巡回上诉法院)提名法官听证的时候,著名的女民主党人Sen. Dianne
Feinstein(范恩斯坦)对她的信仰背景是否合适职务有过质疑,请看她们辩论:
老太太范恩斯坦攻击道:“When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma
lives loudly within you,” Feinstein said. “And that’s of concern when
you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for for
years in this country.”
巴瑞特理直气壮地回答道:“It’s never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge’s personal
convictions, whether they arise from faith or anywhere else, on the
law.”
多么漂亮的回击!
巴瑞特不光在大学任职过,她还是个在法律界有实际经验的人,她曾经还做过著名的前大法官Justice
Antonin Scalia的手下,在对待宪法的态度上与这位已故大法官是如出一辙的。Politico在介绍她时如此形容:Like
Scalia, Barrett is a strict originalist and would “enforce her best
understanding of the Constitution rather than a precedent she thinks is
clearly in conflict with it,” she wrote in a 2013 Texas Law Review article.她不但事业成功,而且还是养育了七个孩子的妈妈!她今年48岁,典型成功女性,美国这样的国家才有的奇迹啊。
How Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court (on which Schlafly advised him) could be the most consequential in a century;
How, unlike any other Republican, Trump could actually fix the nation’s immigration mess;
Why his economic platform could spark an economic revival on the
scale of the Reagan boom of the 1980s (it is based on much the same
plan);
How Trump will defend the First Amendment—guaranteeing freedom of speech and religion—against an ever more dictatorial Left;
Why Trump’s fresh thinking on defense and foreign policy is long overdue—and could send terrorism into rapid retreat。
让我们看看对这本书评论中的一些话:
“Phyllis Schlafly is an American treasure who has been fighting the good
fight for American sovereignty and cultural renewal for five decades.
Without Phyllis, there'd be no Donald Trump.”(Laura Ingraham)
“In The Conservative Case for Trump, Phyllis Schlafly, Ed Martin,
and Brett M. Decker show how President Trump can get our country back on
the right track, and why Republicans and independents need to unify
behind his candidacy”(Newt Gingrich)
What a lady! 好几年了,也写过多次, “Men are finished, women just started". Sadly, women starting went on the wrong way or detour. 我认为主要原因是男人的猥琐和wicked, 比如Phyllis Schlafly讲的superority,superority是体现在公开的行为中,而不是幕后会算计的wickedness。 现在的男人领袖们不仅不体现在行为中,比如克林顿,奥巴马之类,我一点看不出有男人的superority,我看到的是各自8年的wicked小聪明算计,显然被培养和听handler的,当然不可能会有需要courage的superority。小布什连wicked小聪明都是做出来的。美国过去24年的总统是这个样子,说明什么呢? 说明这个国家是被设计要完全改变,甚至摧毁的。Phyllis Schlafly把希望寄托在川普身上, 我2016年也是, 但是我认为川普也只是reset。 最近我研读了很多,如今的美国是英国和欧洲家族们控制的, 川普也是被控制的。 不过呢,至少川普代表的控制人类和地球的几派里,还想保留原来的美国的一派, I hope he succeeds, I still support him.
