In Sunday’s paper, the Washington Post has an article with the title, “Fewer See Balance in Court Decisions.” The article is based on a poll conducted by the Post and ABC News. Its findings were that “about half the public thinks the Supreme Court is generally balanced in its opinions.” But since that isn’t the point the paper wants to make, it highlights the fact that the number of citizens who think the Court is “too conservative” has increased to 31%.
Both the writers of this article and the editors who put it in print have no clue why the Supreme Court […]
Executive Summary:
Judge Munley has ruled (AP: “Judge strikes down Hazleton’s illegal immigrant law,”) that local ordinances to protect munincipalities of bearing the cost of illegal immigration, like the one in Hazelton, PA, re “preempted by federal law.” This is flatly contrary to prior decisions of the Supreme Court. The driving force behind the appeal of this case, and a similar decision by another federal judge against ordinances of Farmers Branch, Texas, will be future harms to the American citizens who live in those towns. There will be more rapes, robberies, assaults and murders of citizens by illegal aliens. There will be more […]

With the Democrats in the Senate stalling on the consideration and confirmation of 19 nominees to the district court level – thus creating a “judicial emergency – and esp. with the malicious attempts to derail the confirmation of Judge Leslie Southwick to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the American Civil Rights Union has sent a letter to each member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and other important Senate leaders. Here is that letter. (Document is in PDF format.)

Three noteworthy cases on 9th Circuit docket
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is proving itself once again to be a powerhouse among the circuits. And based on some of the cases that it will decide this year it might actually edge out the D.C. Circuit as the most influential circuit court in the nation.
With its headquarters in San Francisco, the 9th Circuit is the largest of the 13 courts of appeals, and this term there’s a lot happening. Three of the cases awaiting final disposition by the 9th Circuit are quite noteworthy. And depending […]
The Kitsap Sun ran a delightful, and also distressing, article on July 11 on the inability of the Bainbridge Island Council and Mayor to decide whether to say, or not say, the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of their meetings. Most readers might think that is not a difficult question, but in the People’s Republic of Washington State, it is.
A new member of the Council, who is an Air Force veteran from the Vietnam War, raised the issue. Other members of the Council objected, some because they resent the Pledge and consider it false in its claims. The Mayor tried to […]
Investors Business Daily ran an editorial entitled, “Jihad in Schools,” on July 9. It describes a program in a San Diego public school for setting aside 15 minutes a day for Somali Muslim students to pray at Carver Elementary School. And it has added Arabic to its teaching. And it has segregated boys from girls in classrooms. And it has banned pork and other non-Islamic foods from its lunchroom.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations defends this program. What is interesting is the position of the ACLU on this. Whenever Judeo-Christian actions, or even single words, are at issue, the ACLU […]
News Channel 5 in Nashville, TN, published an article on its website on 10 July about illegal aliens suing local officials for illegally arresting them. They are claiming $100 a day for their incarceration until they are thrown out of the US in their suit against the Maury County Sheriffs’ Office, and the Sheriff himself.
Nowhere does the article describe these as “illegal” immigrants. But they would not be in jail, awaiting deportation, if their status were legal.
The illegals were arrested during a raid conducted by the Sheriff and immigration officers at a mobile home park near Nashville. They were searching […]
