Thank you for taking the time to dissect this garbage opinion. You have done a great service by bringing this lunatics words and actions further into the light.
I can't believe that the hundreds of bad decisions Jimmuh made in 4 short years are just going to continue to haunt us.
This is highly intemperate stuff, especially for a federal judge. And this preachy time reminds me of Jimmy Carter himself. Hey Jimmy, has Ronald Reagan finally stopped piling up the electoral votes in the 1980 election?
So I assume this ruling eliminates most of the federal government then?
How nice to be rid of social security, medicare and the other onerous government programs we have been saddled with.
Anna Diggs Taylor is now, as a result of this action, on the Democrats' short-list for Supreme Court nominee.
Imagine, if you can, having your life; that of your family; and that of the nation directly subject to this person.
Credit where credit is due; and the only way to understand what otherwise appears totally senseless.
Heard it first on Rush that we have Jimmy Carter to thank. . .and it was the 'missing piece' after that; with every mention of this news story.
This barking moonbat was born in 1932, per earlier postings.
I would think, at 74, she'd want to retire and enjoy life without the robes. Of course I'm dealing in common sense and she obviously is not.
I guess if you're on a mission for the left's ideology, you just never give up the bone. Once a junkyard dog, always a junkyard dog.
Nominated by Jimmy Carter on May 17, 1979
Legislative assistant / Detroit office manager, U.S. Rep. Charles C. Diggs, Jr., 1967-70
Representative Charles C. Diggs, Jr. (Democrat, Michigan) 1955-1980
They married in 1960 and moved to Detroit.
Taylor, 73, is a liberal with Democratic roots and defended civil-rights workers in the South in the 1960s
Taylor was born Anna Katherine Johnston in 1932 in Washington, D.C. Her father was treasurer of Howard University. Her mother was a homemaker and a business teacher.
Unable to get a job as a lawyer at New York or Washington, D.C., law firms -- a near impossibility for black people, especially women, in the 1950s -- Taylor turned to the Solicitor's Office of the U.S. Department of Labor. She became a lawyer there with the help of J. Ernest Wilkins, then assistant secretary of labor and the first black person appointed to a subcabinet post. He also was a friend of her father's.
In Washington, Taylor met Charles Diggs Jr., son of a wealthy Detroit mortician and a rising star in Congress.
In 1966, Taylor became an assistant U.S. attorney in Detroit, but left the following year to manage her husband's Detroit congressional office.
During the next five years, she and Diggs divorced. She also campaigned for Coleman Young, helping him become Detroit's first black mayor.
In 1975, Young asked her to become a staff lawyer to defend his programs to integrate city government.
A year later, she married S. Martin Taylor, then director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission.
In 1984, Taylor banned nativity scenes on municipal property in Birmingham and Dearborn in ACLU lawsuits.
In 1979, Anna Diggs Taylor became the first black woman judge to be appointed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Nineteen years later, she became the first black woman Chief Judge for that circuit as well.
Give me a break.
They think they've been monitored.
They think they know people who are engaged in acts of terrorism.
And those terrorists won't talk to them because the terrorists don't want to be discovered.
Are we at war, or not?
What is the usual treatment of private communication with the enemy in time of war?
There are no Judge-Queens either. Time to vote on judges. She needs to go. Who does this judge think she IS?, making HER demands of the Presidency of this country? Disgusting.
An analysis of the background of the warrant requirement for surveillance is an insult to George Bush? Not buying it. This is exactly the type of language one finds in Scalia opinions, for instance.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs TaylorSo this judge has determined that saving 3,000 or more american citizens is just not worth the price of eaves dropping on the terrorists planning. Next Liberals will begin to embrace sharia law as centrist behavior.
The judge (lower case "J" intentional) would not like how the Founders and Ratifiers of the U.S. Constitution would have dealt with her and her kind. It boggles my mind the extent that these nitwits attempt to rewrite history to suit their purpose.
Who said the Constitution is not a suicide pact? This is just part of the quote.
I don't think her personal views influenced this decision in the least, do you? (casual whistling...)
"For example, scholars and journalists such as plaintiffs Tara McKelvey, Larry Diamond, and Barnett Rubin indicate that they must conduct extensive research in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and must communicate with individuals abroad whom the United States government believes to be terrorist suspects or to be associated with terrorist organizations.12 In addition, attorneys Nancy Hollander, William Swor, Joshua Dratel, Mohammed Abdrabboh, and Nabih Ayad indicate that they must also communicate with individuals abroad whom the United States government believes to be terrorist suspects or to be associated with terrorist organizations,13 and must discuss confidential information over the phone and email with their international clients."
Sure they must do that. Absolutely. Go right ahead. Be my guest.
And we, the US Govt must *absolutely* guarantee that 9/11 doesnt happen again and must absolutely listen in while you talk to terrorists.
Capiche???
