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
Dear ,
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.

*Justice Kennedy, in making the ruling on capital punishment and with the agreement of a majority of other justices, wrote: “It is proper that we acknowledge the overwhelming weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty.” The point here is not the ruling, but the fact that the court looked not solely to the U.S. Constitution, but also took into consideration European law.
In making their decision legalizing sodomy, Kennedy again wrote for the court: “The laws of Northern Ireland forbade him (the homosexual defendant) that right” (to practice sodomy). Kennedy also referenced the European Court of Human Rights and wrote: “Other nations have taken action consistent with an affirmation of the protected right of homosexual adults to engage in intimate, consensual conduct.”
