You are in a position to help us fight judicial tyranny. When we elect judges we really have no way of knowing whether they are strict constitutionalist or not. You might have a way to know what kind of judge they would be and inform us so we can inform the public.

Well, thanks. You know federal judges are not elected and have lifetime tenure -- so the only way to try and control the federal bench is 1) elect Presidents and Senators who you believe will appoint and confirm decent judges. It's a crapshoot, but the only means right now. Actually, most of Bushes' nominations have been quite good - with two really outstanding ones in poor Miguel Estrada and William Pryor. The other method is a real long shot and that's to urge your Senators and Congress members to impeach federal judges. It's next to impossible - I know of exactly one - from Las Vegas - who was removed, and I think it was because they found he was on the take from the Mob. We have a really out of control one here on the 9th Jerkoff in Cali who has said flat out he sees his role as a social activist and nothing's ever stuck with him. So as I said, it's a real long shot. But maybe after this worth some more effort.

State judges you have a bit more control over. They are usually elected or appointed by the Governor. IF the latter, they have to be reconfirmed by election, even state Supreme Court and appellate judges. I believe a lot of this takeover has resulted from good folks not knowing anything about judicial candidates. DO NOT FOLLOW the local Bar Association or newspaper endorsements. Instead, find a good local conservative legal action group or attorney (like Mark Levin) and get their take. In 1986, we cleaned out a leftist gang from the California Supreme Court, including the chief justice, through grassroots movement.

I of course would be honored to assist in any way possible.
