THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW
BY RUSSELL TURNER
OATH OF OFFICE
We Americans are a very fortunate people; we live in a nation where we are guaranteed the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. While our nation is a superpower, we need to remember that the main purpose of our laws and Constitution is for the protection of those rights for the American people. We on the right understand that there is evil in the world and it has become a constant battle in our own nation to control it. We are supposed to be a nation of law, but in today's society those laws are being selectively enforced. All elected and appointed individuals are required to take an oath for whatever office they will occupy. For example, our president took an oath to protect our nation from all threats whether it is domestic or foreign. I, like many other Americans, have come to the conclusion that many people in the world don't like us, but they do like our money. We now have a president that understands that simple fact and he is willing to obey the oath he took and protect the American people. Unfortunately liberal judges are trying to thwart all actions he has taken.
Have we forgotten the liberal judge that ruled that the travel ban from various counties was unconstitutional? That dispute eventually reached the Supreme Court where they ruled with president Trump. The judge didn't seem to care that in those countries there were terrorist organizations that wanted to do harm to the United States; all his ruling did was to consume six months of time that could have been better spent to litigate his ruling. Earlier this week an Obama appointed judge from San Francisco, California ruled that Trump's executive order over illegal migrants illegally crossing our border being denied asylum was unconstitutional. I am sure that this issue will also end up in the Supreme Court and it also will consume time that could be used more effectively. I never claimed to be a constitutional scholar, but in my opinion this judge must have been smoking some of that California wacky weed. This liberal judge wants to reward people who are not citizens of the United States and who are violating our laws by crossing the border illegally. Our prisons are full of Americans citizens who have violated our laws because they wanted a better quality of life; would we be willing to just release them because they wanted more money to spend? All we can hear in the mainstream media is about people wanting asylum to have a better life. Asylum is reserved to people who legitimately fear persecution in their home countries. That is far different from people wanting asylum because of economic conditions. Immigrants are not allowed to come to this country just because they want a better life.
We Americans are a generous people, but that generosity needs to start at home. We do not reward citizens of this nation for doing illegal action just because they want a better lifestyle; just look at our prisons and you will see a bunch of people who try to do that very thing. My advice for all of those liberal judges, get off of our president's back and let him do the job he was elected to do and honor the oath he took.
