activist judges and senators

Dear Senator Portman,

Thank you for representing Ohio for these last few years.

Reflecting upon the recent nomination to the Supreme Court by President Obama, I recall many statements, primarily promoted by the Republican Party, in objection to the idea of 'activist judges', ostensibly in reference to those judges who publish opinions that are considered not consistent with a 'strict constructionist' view of the interpretation of the Constitution.

Regarding your current stated position to not allow the nomination process to proceed to a vote by the Senate, you are now acting in the role of 'activist senator', in other words what you are doing is not consistent with a 'strict constructionist' interpretation of the Constitution.

Are you changing your position about 'activism' in regards to fulfilling constitutional duties, or are you just being inconsistent in promoting to whom the 'strict constructionist' principle applies ?

Please re-read Article II, Sec 2 of the Constitution, and perhaps research its history, if you prefer, to assess whether your current position is 'constructionist' or 'activist'  ... and then please #doyourjob, or do the honorable thing and resign.

Thanks for your consideration,
