So, let’s see if I follow my old Reagan colleague, Doug Kmiec. He’s supporting Obama because of the war in Iraq, the firing of the U.S. attorneys, too much federal spending, and various unconstitutional actions. But Obama says he’d use military action in Pakistan and negotiate with Iran (and all other totalitarian regimes as best I can tell), which I guess Doug finds sensible. No one but the most partisan Democrat believes the firing of the U.S. attorneys involved unconstitutional or criminal action, yet Doug finds that a persuasive basis for voting for … Obama? Doug says he’s had it with irresponsible spending. But his man, Obama, has already proposed nearly $900 billion in new federal spending, and there’s still 7-8 months left before the general election, so I predict with confidence that his proposals will exceed $1 trillion. And if Doug is concerned about what he perceives to be unconstitutional activities, it’s odd that he would embrace a candidate who rejects completely his entire approach to constitutional jurisprudence. If I am accurate, Doug has abandoned more than Bush and McCain.
