An Important Vote Coming Up On Judges "The Constitution Is What The Judges Say It Is." – Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes

"Candidates With Deeply Held Christian Beliefs Are Unfit and Disqualified From Serving As A Federal Judge." - New York Senator Charles Schumer

_________________________________________________________

On May 1, 2004, in a Senate Judiciary Committee session, Senator Charles Schumer of New York said that J. Leon Holmes was disqualified as a candidate for a federal judge appointment because of his "deeply held conservative religious views." Holmes is a Catholic.

On June 11, speaking of Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor, a nominee for the appellate court, Schumer said Pryor’s beliefs "are so well known, so deeply held that it's hard to believe that they're not going to influence" his decisions. Attorney General Pryor is a Catholic. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California also opposed Pryor because of his "deeply held religious beliefs."

Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes once said, "We live under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is." In plain English, that means we don't live under a Constitution but under judges, some of which have total disregard for the intent of the Founding Fathers.

Now, add to that the belief by Senate liberals that a devout Christian is automatically unfit and disqualified as a candidate for a federal judgeship.

The ACLU, Planned Parenthood, People For The American Way, Americans United For Separation of Church and State and their allies in the Senate are ready to block--by filibuster--every judicial nominee who doesn’t support their liberal agenda. People for the American Way alone has already raised $2,000,000 and has a "war room" in Washington staffed by 50 people.

A vote to end their filibustering will soon be taken. The vote will be to abide by the Constitution and require a simple majority of votes cast, or--as the liberals want-- to require 60 votes to end their filibuster. This will be the most important vote taken in this session of Congress.

Don’t let a minority of 40 Senators and their liberal, activist cohorts on the bench set the precedent that a devout Christian is unfit and automatically disqualified as a federal judge.

The above was sent to me via email - as usual, and I have done my part and passed it on. As you are reading, where it says 'click here' apparently is not working as it should - but beside it is the address you can paste into the address bar to get to the email page.

Thanks to all - and may we all be strong in letting our thoughts be known! JK

IOW, don't push your morals on me, especially when I'm pushing mine on you.
