Bring Me Your Huddled Terrorists, Yearning to Blow Things Up

By |2023-03-10T08:04:54-05:00June 15th, 2009|

Certain Senators, with the cooperation of Secretary Napolitano of the Homeland Security Department, are working up a new bill which would seriously undermine an existing federal law that restricts drivers licenses for federal purposes to American citizens and legal aliens, only. This proposed change is political, and it goes in a direction preferred by the ACLU – open borders, and minimum verification of voter legitimacy at the polls.

Most of the facts for this article, and some of the legal conclusions, come from an article published by the Center for Immigration Studies in June, 2000, entitled “Repealing REAL ID? Rolling Back Driver’s License Security.”The […]

Ken Klukowski: Senior Democrat Says Obama's Czars Unconstitutional

By |2009-06-15T09:22:43-04:00June 15th, 2009|

Last week President Obama appointed yet another "czar" with massive government power, answering only to him. Even before this latest appointment, the top-ranking Democrat in the Senate wrote President Obama a letter saying that these czars are unconstitutional. President Obama's "czar strategy" is an unprecedented power grab centralizing authority in the White House, outside congressional oversight and in violation of the Constitution.

Anti-Second Amendment politicians have a high-caliber hypocrisy second to none.

The first terrorist detained in Guantanamo Bay is on U.S. soil and is now in the civilian court system. Democratic officials and operatives are lauding President Obama's commitment to close Gitmo. They say that we can simply lock up all these convicted terrorists in U.S. federal prisons. But one question exposes the fatal flaw with this plan: What convicted terrorists?

Jan LaRue: Obama's Moral Slide Rule

By |2009-06-11T12:25:30-04:00June 11th, 2009|

In President Barack Obama's moral and constitutional universe, unfettering abortion and coddling terrorists trump innocent life. But most Americans reject his anti-life calculations.

ACLU Loses Effort to Keep Non-Americans on Voter Rolls

By |2009-06-10T17:16:54-04:00June 10th, 2009|

The Supreme Court has rejected the ACLU appeal of a Circuit Court decision upholding the Georgia Voter ID law. This law requires new voters to present documentation to show they are both citizens and residents. The ACLU attacked this law, and similar laws in other states, claiming that such laws discriminated against the poor and persons of color.

Most of the facts for this article, but not the legal conclusions, come from an article in the Atlanta Constitution on 9 June 2009. The article reports that the US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals […]

Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski: Equating Conservatives with Terrorists

By |2020-04-23T21:54:07-04:00June 9th, 2009|

Recent events reveal how far to the left President Obama really is. When the president's Cairo speech, taken with his reactions to the deaths of an abortion doctor and a U.S. soldier, are weighed against his Department of Homeland Security report and his Supreme Court decisions, a pattern emerges. The president is indicating that conservatives can in many ways be equated with terrorists. Such a comparison is outrageous, and the possibility that this mindset could end up on the U.S. Supreme Court makes it all the more dangerous.

Ken Blackwell: Arm Our Military Recruiters

By |2009-06-05T09:25:09-04:00June 5th, 2009|

The contrast between President Obama's reaction to the murder of a late-term abortionist and the murder of a U.S. Army Recruiter could not be more stark. Obama raced to send U.S. Marshals into abortion facilities. He denounced the murder in the strongest terms in a statement which is posted on the White House website:

Ken Klukowski: Gun Issue Heats Up for Sotomayor as NRA Appeals to Supreme Court

By |2020-04-23T21:53:48-04:00June 5th, 2009|

This week a federal appeals court held that the Second Amendment does not apply to state or city gun laws. Supporters of Judge Sonia Sotomayor incorrectly argue that this affirms her recent gun-control case. Now the NRA is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case, and in doing so heats up the gun-rights issue to potentially become the dominant topic in Sotomayor's confirmation hearings.
