Hans Zeiger: So Help Me God

By |2009-01-21T10:26:10-05:00January 21st, 2009|

Michael Newdow, the professional atheist who tried to have "one nation under God" stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance, has lost his crusade to prevent the mention of God at the inauguration. Though it's not written into the Constitution, presidents usually close their oath with the words "So help me God." Newdow wanted a court to tell President-elect Obama that he cannot say those words, and he also wanted to ban the tradition of inaugural prayers. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton threw out Mr. Newdow's attempt to establish his religion -- the religion of atheism.

Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission

By |2009-01-16T00:07:27-05:00January 16th, 2009|

On January 14, 2009, the American Civil Rights Union filed an amicus curiae brief with the United States Supreme Court in favor of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, arguing that prohibiting broadcast of the movie “Hillary: The Movie” violated the fundamental right of freedom of speech, not only for Citizens United and the individuals who contributed to produce the movie to advance their ideological viewpoint, but also for the viewers who would choose to watch the movie. The ACRU brief argues that these viewers “hold their own constitutionally protected, freedom of speech rights to watch and to listen to the movie and its speech.”

Horace Cooper: ACLU and 9th Circuit against Christianity

By |2020-04-23T21:53:04-04:00December 29th, 2008|

This op-ed originally appeared in the Washington Times on December 29, 2008.

It is fitting that during this season we take time to acknowledge our nation’s religious heritage. In the Mayflower Compact – the agreement made by the earliest American settlers – the preamble explains that their mission included the “propagating of Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness and miserable ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God.”

Even Christopher Columbus is recorded as acknowledging that his ambitious plan to discover new worlds was in part a religious endeavor. “It is hoped that by God’s assistance, some of the […]

Wes Vernon: The Emerging Threat to Conservative Talk Radio

By |2008-12-18T11:01:37-05:00December 18th, 2008|

In the latest issue of Accuracy in Media’s Aim Report, columnist Wes Vernon writes about the upcoming threat to conservative talk radio.

Writes Vernon:

Ominously, Obama has chosen as his transition chief John Podesta, who is president of the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank that produced a report attacking conservative talk radio. But there is reason to believe the attack that is expected to come from an Obama-controlled Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will not come, at least immediately, in the form of a new push for the Fairness Doctrine. The attack, which is actually now underway […]

Ken Blackwell: Telling Nomination

By |2008-12-16T10:20:25-05:00December 16th, 2008|

President-Elect Barack Obama's nomination of Eric Holder to be attorney general surprised many. There are reasons that Holder ought not to be confirmed, but regardless of that, his nomination tells us quite a bit about Obama and the Supreme Court he will likely give this country.

ACLU Supports Terrorist Against Americans

By |2008-12-08T11:04:07-05:00December 8th, 2008|

As usual, the ACLU misreads the Constitution, and sides with those who would attack America and murder Americans, instead of following the Constitution and protecting Americans and America. The latest example is the ACLU promotion of the interests of an Al Qaeda representative in the US.

The facts for this article, but not all of the legal conclusions, come from an article in the Los Angeles Times on 5 December, 2008. It concerns an apparent representative of Al Qaeda in the US, who is an alien, but a legal resident in the US. On 5 December, the Supreme Court agreed to hear his case.
