Issue Position: The Constitution

Issue Position

Glo is among those who believe the Constitution is a vault into which the founders deposited our principles of government. No member of government should attempt to manipulate the courts by eliminating filibuster powers, in order to seat unconfirmed judges that will promote a new ideology or agenda. She believes upholding the Constitution means enforcing our laws as they are written, not legislating from the bench. Glo believes that judges should treat all issues that come before the court with respect to the Constitution's intended meaning. Judges should translate the principles of the Founding into a framework of limited republican government that remains central to the American way of life. She believes the Civil War completed the Founding by abolishing the institution of slavery. In this great conflict, Lincoln re-affirmed the principles of the Founding and re-established limited constitutional government. The Progressive assault on the limited constitutionalism of the Founders set the stage for modern liberalism and the rise of big government over the past century. Conservatism rose in response to the Progressive challenge in the early 20th century and coalesced into the modern conservative movement in the post-World War II era. Glo Smith registered as a Republican as a teenager, and is today the kind of conservative that is pro business, pro values, pro fair tax, and pro second amendment right to bear arms. In congress Glo will uphold the Constitution.
