To the West Coast

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles went to the West Coast to visit ACORN offices there. In San Bernadino, CA, ACORN workers not only helped get away with prostitution and tax evasion, but also bragged about some of the crimes she had committed and the politicians she lobbied.

Now Off to the Big Apple

Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN released a statement about the videos from James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.

Lewis said, “This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results weve all recently seen.”

Apparently no one told Ms. Lewis that ACORN workers in New York helped out O’Keefe and Giles.

John Armor: Anchor Babies, Away

By |2023-05-20T09:41:01-04:00September 29th, 2007|

The Constitution is simple, short and easy to read. There is no excuse for any reporter to write about it, without reading it. The latest example is an article about anchor babies in the Orlando Sentinel today (29 September) by Jim Stratton.

The article concerns a comment about anchor babies by Fred Thompson, Republican candidate for President. If you haven’t followed the illegal immigration debate, anchor babies are children born on US soil of illegal immigrant parents. The babies get citizenship. Then, the provisions for “reuniting families” kick in, and the baby assists the parents in becoming legal.

Marines Denied Right to Film in San Francisco

By |2023-05-20T09:41:02-04:00September 26th, 2007|

The facts for this comment, but not the legal conclusions, came from an article published on KGO7 TV on September 24.

The US Marines proposed to shoot a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco, as they already had on the streets of New York. They wanted their famed Silent Drill Team to perform for just a few minutes on ordinary city streets. New York said yes. But San Francisco said no.

The ACLU was not directly involved in the rejection in San Francisco, but it’s thinking on the subject of military recruiters definitely was. If the ACLU was genuinely concerned about preserving freedom […]

John Armor: Judging the Judges, and the Reporters

By |2023-05-20T09:41:04-04:00September 24th, 2007|

On 24 September, the New York Times published an article on the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, which approved the Indiana voter ID law in January, in a divided decision. The losing plaintiffs asked the whole circuit to rehear the case, which it just rejected, so the decision stands.

Both dissenting Judge Terence T. Evans in the 2-1 decision, and reporter Adam Liptak, the reporter on the story, demonstrated a profound misunderstanding of the role of judges in the American political system. But first, the article denigrates the well-respected Judge Richard A. Posner, who wrote the majority decision.
