"I'm all in favor of the idea. The only thing that bothers me is that the term "march for justice" has more of a liberal connotation. If we can call the effort by some other name or slogan, I think it will be more clear to more people what this is all about."

The cry for "Justice" is not exclusively owned by "liberal" tyrants, like the ACLU, who are really leftists operating under "democratic" fronts. "Justice" is an American connotation. There is nothing "just" about leftist' mandates to over-power and deconstruct America.

I don't believe in term limits, but I might be agreeable to the idea of impeachment being voted on directly by the people by way of a national recall right.
As in the right to petition, referendum, and recall.

I believe that in this currently polarized Country, that the politicians are incapable of impeachment of anyone for anything, anywhere, anytime, short of outright murder, and even then I have my doubts.

This Justice march is FABULOUS!! This Florida situation has surely brought to the surface and made plain for all to see, the actual TRAMPLING UNDERFOOT OF THE CONSTITUTION. This is the WORST Judicial Tyranny I have ever witnessed. Not saying it hasn't gone on before, but there is certainly a REASON that it has been made so public this time. I hope GREER is in hiding good!! He's a dispicable little man.!!

This march looks positively prescient in the context of the Schiavo saga.

If the main purpose of the march is to get our judges or justices a fair vote in the Senate, then indeed call it by what it is: "March for Judges."

It is not a concession to leftists if you don't call your causes by the same name as they call theirs. It will only confuse people. And people is what you want to attract.

Drive by a billboard that reads "March for justice" and it immediately evokes the image of Sharpton spewing his nonsense. "March for Judges" is sraightforward and conveys the message you're trying to deliver.

Sounds like once again Jim, you, are the man with the plan!
The corridors of the old establishments of power quake at your mild mannered voice and I will be very pleased to stand with you!

**Yep, I see your point! How about "Our Republic's Justice?" "Uphold Justice." Still sounds like a "liberal" mantra. Or, "Justice is Right, Not Left"?
"Justice For All Isn't Leftism" Gad! I'm just not a very good slogan-maker. "March for American Principles."
Hmmm...

you're right on the impeachment part anyway---if lying to a judge won't getcha impeached there is a problem. That also makes my point tho---the Guys in Congress that blocked impeachment of the LIAR IN CHIEF would have already been gone if a 12 year SENATE limit had been in place. The basic notion of citizen service in gov't as opposed to career nestors in DC still appeals to me and is in line with what the founders had in mind.
The founders visualized a period of service in the capitol after which they would return to the plantation---this current crop sees a career of service during which they write up a subsidy program for the plantation. And how about a limit on the number of federal facilities that can be named after a "congersman" (apologies to POGO)?

Just take the word "justice" out and substitute the word "judges." I think that "March for Judges" gets your message out loud and clear, and, for the uninformed majority, does not evoke the image of Sharpton, in his shirtsleeves, surrounded by 42 hanger-on, ranting and raving about some criminal not being granted what he thinks are his rights as an American, and calling that a "March for Justice."

"How about "March for Our Judges?"

***All of "Our Judges"? I am reminded of...

"And a good judge am I..." lyric from Gilbert&Sullivan's *Trial by Jury*:

"The Usher orders silence, for the Judge approaches. The Chorus greet him with churchly song, "All hail, great Judge!" The Judge, having thanked them proceeds to tell how he reached his exalted station. When young, he was an impecunious lawyer...So, he fell in love with a rich attorney's Elderly, ugly daughter.

I couldn't agree with everybody on this list more. I am sickened and OUTRAGED at the fact that Michael Schiavo (devil incarnate) is getting away with murder, literally. Best that I can tell, we have no government in charge since obviously a rinky dink judge can thumb his nose at a Congressional order, and then, of all things, the appellate courts do the same thing.

Looks to me like we are under martial law, oh but wait, gotta ask Michael first.....
