Inside the Eric Holder Justice Department

Roger Kimball has written an excellent overview of the Eric Holder Justice Department, and one can reach no other conclusion other than the inmates have taken over the asylum. Everything from apologists for Islamic extremism to rabid anti-Americanism can be found in the backgrounds of the prominent players. It strains credulity to expect Holder to [...]

Activist Judge Sotomayor Confirmed 68-31

With the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, the media and president Obama are hailing it as something to celebrate. But the truth is, they are happy about another very liberal justice, not so much that she is Hispanic. First and foremost she is on the political left; her race matters very little [...]

The Second Amendment and Judge Sotomayor

Filed under Government, Judicial Tyranny, Legal, Second Amendment

In Maloney v. Cuomo, Sotomayor joined a three-judge panel concluding that the Second Amendment right to bear arms does not apply to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. She also argued that the right to bear arms is not a “fundamental right.”
In a very brief opinion, she cites Presser v. Illinois as the basis for [...]

Sotomayor Confirmation Hearings: Behind the Mask

Now that we’ve had some time to hear her statements and responses, we can safely surmise that she is being deceptive.
She tried to make excuses for her “wise Latina ” comment and downplay it. Just ask the simple question of whether or not a white male could have made a similar comment and got away [...]

The White House released this picture of Sotomayor in her Princeton yearbook quoting a leading socialist.
I am not a champion of lost causes, but of causes not yet won.
-Norman Thomas
Norman Thomas is also quoted as saying, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment [...]

Democrats Try To Defend Sotomayor From Valid Criticisms

Filed under Government, Judicial Tyranny, Legal

Democrats are calling Sotomayor the “whole package”, and trying to defend her against the legitimate criticisms surrounding her. Most of the problems with Sotomayor involve her statements about courts making policy, and racially-charged speech given back in 2001, leading to the logical conclusion that her views are incompatible with the idea of equal justice.
Democrats, the [...]

Liberals Unjustified in Calling Critics of Sotomayor “Racists”

The Democratic Party seems to be obsessed with race, and it’s true when it comes to racial quotas in employee hirings and college admissions, although they prefer the euphemism “affirmative action.” I say “seems” because when it comes to judicial nominees or anything else in government, politics trumps race.
The Democrats and their media allies made [...]

Obama Nominates Judicial Activist Judge Sonia Sotomayor to Supreme Court

Barack Obama has nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice Souter on the High Court. As expected, she is a deeply flawed candidate who has made outrageous comments concerning race and judicial activism. The mainstream media has either not reported or downplayed her controversial statements. Instead, the media is focusing on the most trivial and [...]

Judge Diane Wood is on the short list of judicial picks to replace retiring Justice Souter. Wood has been a federal judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago since President Clinton appointed her to the position in 1995. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, she is also a judicial activist.
Prior to [...]

Obama Appoints Judicial Radical Judge David F. Hamilton

David Hamilton is being touted by the White House (and the New York Times) as a “moderate”, yet there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest it.
So what are some of this ‘moderate’ appointee’s credentials?

Was a fundraiser for ACORN, a far-left organization that engaged in criminal voter fraud and [...]
