Obama's radical Supreme Court undermines Constitution

Letter to the Editor:

Franklin D. Roosevelt, our 32nd President, used a style of governance strikingly similar to Barack Obama, our 44th President. Roosevelt was able to impose his ideology onto the American people by replacing Supreme Court Justices that retired during his three term Presidency with ones that favored his radical interpretation of the Constitution.

Our present day Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare tells us this court already views the Constitution from a radical perspective even before any of its members retire. A radical President and a radical Court does not bode well for the American people during the remaining two years of Obama’s term.

Urbanization is government's goal

It appears the agenda of the federal government it to chase the rural residents of the west off their land and into the cities. In our area, they are using phony wildlife endangerment as justification to slow or end logging and mining on federal land. In other areas, fears of global warming are used as justification to regulate fossil fuel producers out of business. In Nevada, ranchers are being chased off federal land because their cattle suddenly pose a threat to the desert tortoise. Offshore drilling for oil in the United States has been mostly curtailed at the same time that Brazil was given foreign aid to develop its offshore oil fields.
