Senate Democratic staffers and a judge appointed by President Carter made extraordinary efforts last year to ensure that a liberal majority sat on the federal appeals court that heard the Michigan affirmative action cases, according to internal Democratic staff memos.

That's the problem here. The Supreme Court basically affirmed part of the ruling. I don't believe they have the guts to go back and vacate their own ruling. Too bad.

In light of the Massachusettes ruling this morning, this is particularly disturbing.

This case is entirely federal, as are most of the big issues. The appointments are lifetime - they can only be removed by impeachment.

Or by Clinton.

Folks this is Juducial Activism and this is what the Democrats have been doing all along.America is headed for a Revolution or a Dictatorship and it is up to us to choose quickly.
85% of all Lawyers are liberal activist and they intend to rule through the courts. Eventually you will not even be able to get a law passed.It is almost that way now and in essence we are being dictated to by a Legal System that has no checks and balances.The court system ruled solely by LOWYERS are overthrowing our country.They control the legal system from beginning to end and we dont have a say/ It is nothing more than a monopoly.

The man who opened my eyes to this fight was David Horowitz. He explained how the left knew a long time ago that control over the Constitution involved controlling the judges, and that is why they engage in a "fanatical fight to the death," and have a "scorched earth policy," as it were, regarding Federal Judicial Appointments. (Quotation marks mine). By the stroke of a pen a single individual can alter the Constitution and create or deny rights to individuals and entire states. Understand the power Federal Judges wield and you can understand why the left fights so hard.

They can lose the Presidency, the Senate, and the House, but they CAN'T lose the Federal Courts!

Recess appointments are the only answer. Recess appointment and an Independent council investigation, maybe.

It is past time for a grand jury investigation into the manipulation of the Sixth Circuit's calendar. This is beyond the scope of the Judicial Ethics Committee.

I wish I could be more optimistic, but they have been doing this for many years, and will continue to do it well into the future. Republicans in Congress just do not seem to have the stomach for it, unforutnately.

Judicial Coup d'Etat







Friday, September 19, 2003
By Bill O'Reilly


This is very important and somewhat repetitive and I'm sorry about that, but again it's very important.





There is a move in the United States to change the country. The ACLU (search) is hooking up with a number of liberal judges to declare things that they don't like as unconstitutional.

Now, a judge can declare anything unconstitutional -- you can interpret the words of the founders in many different ways -- but the will of the people has always been the driving force behind policy in America.

This is changing and here's the best example I can give you. According to a Gallup Poll, 77 percent of Americans do not object to displaying the Ten Commandments in a courtroom.

However, as we know, a federal court has ruled the display unconstitutional. So it is not the will of the people that the judges are concerned about and it's also not prior history, as the Ten Commandments have been displayed in public forums for more than 200 years.

In my upcoming book, Who's Looking Out for You, I provide rock-solid proof that the Founding Fathers wanted spirituality incorporated into public policy -- that is, they wanted a definite morality right and wrong to be considered in policy matters.

Now the ACLU and some judges are hell bent -- pardon the pun -- on changing that and circumventing the will of the people.

Item: the California recall (search). Three liberal judges override the will of 2 million Californians.

Item: the San Francisco homeless initiative. One far-left judge tells citizens their votes about not providing cash to the homeless don't count.

Item: a Massachusetts judge throws out a criminal case against a man caught with two pounds of cocaine because the judge doesn't like the cop who made the arrest -- we'll deal with that story in a few moments.

Item: a liberal federal judge in San Diego says the Boy Scouts (search) are a religious organization and no town can do business with them.

I could give you hundreds of other examples, including judges taking the words "Christmas vacation" off school calendars, even though Christmas is a federal holiday, approved by Congress.



It is obvious, ladies and gentlemen, that we the people are being directly attacked by secularists who want to change this country. They know they can't do it in the voting booth, so they are going to do it using the courts.

This is no less than a potential coup d'etat and you should know about it. Next to the war on terror, this is the most important story the U.S. has seen in decades.

And that's the Memo.

The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day

There's a new book out called the Clinton Presidential Center Cookbook containing 250 recipes. The money earned will go to Bill Clinton's library in Arkansas. There is no truth to the rumor that Marc Rich has purchased 10,000 copies.

Anyway, included are Hillary's chocolate chip cookies, Bill's chicken enchiladas and Monica Lewinsky's… Wait, that's a mistake. There is no Monica recipe in that book.

Sorry, I was being ridiculous.

You know .. I'm not sure anymore

There are 3 memo's that I have heard about
The Select Intell Committee (staffer)
The 16 page memo on the link between Saddam and Bin Laden And the Estrada .. Latino

This sounds like a different memo

Oh, yeah! Pat Bucanan'll fix things right up!

Hey, why don't we drag Ross Perot out to be Pat's co-President?
Drag a few hundred thousand votes away from a legitimate candidate, and Hey! we could have aNOTHER Clinton in the White House!

to review the case and vote on it," staffers wrote in an April 17, 2002, memo to Mr. Kennedy advising him to slow the confirmation process for Tennessee Judge Julia S. Gibbons.

What is also stunning is the amount of control these Staffers have over these Senators

Look at this......they have a real problem on their hands.....this leak was part of six internal memos to Senate Dick Durbin....

Among the leaked documents were six internal memos from staffers to Mr. Durbin.

If I'm reading this right......there are other bombshells to come.

Stunning to say the least. The Democrats would deny that they follow or implement the list, but they are a bunch of liars anyway. I kind of wish all Republican leaders would read that list once a year, and reflect on events of the prior year that matched the list, and who was behind any given item.
