Let People Decide, ACRU Says in New Jersey Recall Brief

By |2010-02-08T18:56:42-05:00February 8th, 2010|

Today (Feb. 9) the American Civil Rights Union filed an amicus brief in support of a grassroots citizens effort to petition for recall of Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).

The Sussex County Tea Party and NJ Tea Parties United, which filed the original petition request to gather signatures as The Committee to Recall Senator Robert Menendez from the United States Senate, contend that Menendez has violated his oath of office by voting for unconstitutional measures such as the attempted government health care takeover bill.

The New Jersey Secretary of State at the time rebuffed the request. So the matter is in court. Menendez is up for […]

Jan LaRue: Justice Alito Dissents

By |2020-04-23T21:53:00-04:00February 6th, 2010|

This column originally appeared on the American Thinker website on February 6, 2010.

It’s a good bet that the conversation in the Supreme Court break room the morning after the president’s State of the Union speech was about Obama’s drive-by distortion of its ruling in Citizens United v. FEC. Predictably, the spin at The Washington Post and Chicago Tribune was “Alito Disparages Obama’s Supreme Court Criticism.”

Where else but in the Bizarro World of Obama’s branch offices at the Post, Trib, and MS-NBC could we find such a polar opposite version of “reality”? Like their champion, these media corporations are extremely vexed that the Court […]

ACLU-Think Applied to Terrorists

By |2010-02-05T16:37:13-05:00February 5th, 2010|

This morning, in hearings before the Senate Intelligence Committee, several Administration leaders defended the idea of giving the would-be Christmas bomber the same rights as ordinary Americans in a criminal trial. This thinking, which mirrors the ideas of the ACLU, offers several ways that tens of thousands of Americans may get killed in future terrorist attacks.

Some of the facts for this article, but none of the legal conclusions, come from an article on UPI.com on 3 February, 2010. The heads of services who testified as a panel before the Senate Intelligence Committee were led by Leon Panetta, Director of the CIA.

On the day […]

John Armor: The Right to Recall the Rascals (U.S. Senators)

By |2010-02-03T09:07:06-05:00February 3rd, 2010|

Do the citizens of the states have a constitutional right to recall their Members of Congress before the end of their set terms, if they become satisfied that their Members are seriously harming the interests of the people who elected them?

Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski: Citizens United Huge Step for Free Speech

By |2020-04-23T21:53:00-04:00January 31st, 2010|

On January 21, the U.S. Supreme Court empowered ordinary Americans to speak out on an equal footing with millionaires and the media in U.S. elections. Threatened by people being able to freely speak their minds, the president of the United States deceived the American people when discussing this court decision in the State of the Union.

Ken Klukowski: Why Obama Was Wrong to Slap the Supremes

By |2010-01-29T21:08:39-05:00January 29th, 2010|

Sad to say, the highlight of President Obama's first State of the Union address on Wednesday was when he took the opportunity to openly condemn the Supreme Court. For the first time in memory, a president lashed out with the justices seated just a few feet away from him. Talk about "in your face"! The attack from the president prompted his equally-partisan supporters in Congress to erupt in raucous applause. This marks a low point for constitutional government in America, where the third branch of government is publicly humiliated by our head of state, and where an entire political party joined in this shameful display of disrespect for our Constitution.

Ken Blackwell: Obama's Dawn Johnsen Appointment

Dawn Johnsen is President Obama's nominee to head the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). It's arguably the most important office at DoJ. OLC sets policy for the entire federal government.

Ken Klukowski: McDonald Gun-Rights Case: Round One Goes to the NRA

By |2020-04-23T21:57:15-04:00January 25th, 2010|

There is growing tension between the pro-gun parties to the upcoming Supreme Court gun-rights case. Perhaps concerned about the direction this case was going, the Court has taken the unusual step of granting the NRA's motion to be given separate time to speak during oral arguments. Round One in this historic fight for the right to bear arms goes to the NRA.

Peter Ferrara: We Really CAN Throw the Bums Out!

By |2010-01-25T09:36:44-05:00January 25th, 2010|

There is a way to fight back against a runaway Congress. Here's how it works. Over the past year, Congress has seemed to be out of control. From health care to global warming to stimulus spending, corporate bailouts, deficits, federal debt and beyond, Congressional leaders have been dismissive of alternative views, insisting that they know best. They have responded to critics with name-calling, calling them everything from "yahoos," to "Nazis," and "tea baggers."
