In October 1998, Free Republic marched on Washington demanding the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Thanks to our efforts, Clinton was impeached less than two months later.
Then, as now, our country stood at a Constitutional crossroad. This year we stand at the crossroad of what kind of judiciary we will have: One that is restrained by the Constitution, or one that abridges our rights by making it up as they go along.
President Bush and the Republicans in the Senate are gearing up for a showdown with the Democrats over his judicial nominees. The Democrats have used the filibuster in an unprecedented way to block judicial nominees from getting an up or down vote. Republicans, led by Majority Leader Bill Frist are getting ready to employ the Constitutional option--most likely in mid-April.
A simple majority is needed to implement the Constitutional option. However, even with a 55 vote majority, a victory by the Republicans is in doubt. Democrats, unswayed by their ever-diminishing numbers in the Senate, have threatened to almost totally shut down the Senate if the Republicans succeed.
The Democrats are desperate because the judiciary is their last hope to force their liberal, unconstitutional agenda on the American people. If the filibuster is broken, they know that President Bush will be able to nominate and get confirmed Supreme Court justices in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. If the filibuster holds, we'll get justices like Anthony Kennedy who look to foreign law and opinion to support their unconstitutional rulings.
Therefore, in order to support President Bush's judicial nominees, and to put the Senate and the courts on notice that We the People demand the Constitution be respected and maintained, we will march on Washington on Thursday, April 7, 2005.
We will rally at Upper Senate Park, directly across the Capitol between Constitution Avenue and Union Station, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Immediately after the rally, we will march on the offices of all 100 senators in groups of state citizens to impress upon them the seriousness of our cause.
We will be working to bring other conservative groups in to co-sponsor the rally. Speakers and co-sponsors will be announced as they confirm.
We will need to raise funds for the rally. The estimated cost is $8,000. Capitol Police rules do not allow us to seek donations at the rally, so we will have to raise the funds before. Click here to help out.
Lord willing, I'll be making the trip from California to D.C. for the rally. It's short notice, but this is too important to stand back. Our rights are at stake. Defend them now, or watch a justice like Anthony Kennedy look to foreign law and opinion one day to take away your Second Amendment and other rights.

If this is justice, call it what it is. Forget about what other people think of you.
You're not calling it what it is by calling it justice.It is a march for our judges to receive an up and down Senate vote, as I understand it.
Jim, why are you and or your admin moderators fighting against reform of the legislative branch?
Numerous posts on the subject have had their keywords changed to things such as the following, aparrently with your approval:
HYSTERIA; ILLINOIS; JEBKEPTHERALIVE; LETITGO; POWER; QUITBLAMINGEVERYONE; WEAKCOMPARASION; Click to Add Keyword1
Just how interested in FR in fixing the problem? Or is this a case of fixing the problem according to the philosophy of the powers that be at FR..
Can you provide a public explanation? This doesn't bode well especially during your fund raising effort...
I think your accusation is off base.
Off base? Look at the condescending keywords which were added by moderators? How is this off base?
Why have numerous posts on the issue of the Judicary vs the Executive branch been censored?
How is it off base when the mods pulled threads and gave the reason "no thank you"?
I think, based upon the lack of action on your part (I brought this up to you several times), that the leadership of FR is off base here..
It used to be that the "tolerant" left tolerated speech which was in agreement with their views and intolerant of anything else. It seems that FR, right up to the top, is acquiring this perverted version "free speech".
Leadership Jim, includes tolerance and the ability to disagree. It doesn't include censorship and condescension.
Keywords can be added by anyone.
Ok, a good explanation for the keywords..
But not for the censorship...
Oh, well.
Another worthy bump for the March For Justice.
I just convinced my wife to let me take the day off tomorrow, so I'll be there for the March (with a small contribution to help with expenses.)
(Is it OK if I bring my wife and three children, ages 12,10, and 8? We want to make this a civics lesson for their homeschooling, and visit all the monuments/memorials after the March. )
You know, the only thing I hate more than stuck-up, right-wing extremists are stuck-up, right-wing extremists who hold a grudge. I tell you what, if Jim Jeffords lived in your state and decided to switch, you'd have a right to sling mud. But he doesn't. He lives in mine, and you don't see anyone bi*chin' and complainin' in my state (other than sleazy Jim Barnett who masks his barbs because he's too much of a chicken sh*t to spell it out in the open). We elected him in 2000 not because he was a Republican, but because we liked the job he was doing and the fact that he doesn't adhere to idiotic party lines. And you know what? We're electing him again next year.
"You know, the only thing I hate more than stuck-up, right-wing extremists are stuck-up, right-wing extremists who hold a grudge."
Hanoi Kerry is the illegal US Senator, not Jeffords
Don't be like the Silent Majority in the 60's and 70's
Demand Kerry be ousted from the US Senate!
There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate
He is there illegally!
WAKEUP AMERICA!
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen
Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.
(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.

"The people in that church should be ashamed of themselves, to demonize George and to ask him to leave for doing his job, for upholding the law," she said. "To me, that was the most offensive thing that has happened so far."
What law is he upholding? There is no law that I know of which states you must starve a person to death. However, I know as a Christian, Jesus said this.
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
