...Today there are more than 100 VACANCIES in the federal courts ... and more conservative judges are retiring.
Nearly half of all active judges today were appointed by former President Bill Clinton - and we know how too many of them feel about religious freedoms!
Incredibly, President George W. Bush can't get hearings for most of his nominees! (Even though former President Bill Clinton had many of his judges confirmed in his first year of presidency.)
The Senate has never taken this long - only 17 of 64 nominations have been confirmed this year! And these are candidates rated by the American Bar Association as "qualified" or "well qualified."
These competent men and women with high principles will affirm our freedoms of speech and religion. But that's the problem. The ACLU and others want to keep these judges off the bench!
* They attack those who are against crime and pornography.
* They oppose anyone who doesn't share their ideology.
* They would have a nominee automatically disqualified because of religious convictions!
And the battle over the first vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States looms ahead, while these groups work at full speed for their anti-freedom agenda...
The leftist socialists who have overtaken the Democratic Party and who are very effectively pressuring our government into socialism are blocking Bush from filling the judicial vacancies.
Everyone interested in freedom should pressure the Bush Administration to get off their dead asses and show some fortitude by making 100 recess appointments during the Christmas break to fill these vacancies and send an unmistakable message to these social-crats that we're not going to let them wreck this country any longer. This is what bothers me about Bush. While he is at it he could also clear the socialist dead wood who inhabit the State Dept appointed jobs.
Yes, the Patriot Act bothers me too. Just the name of it scares me, however, I am still in favor of a military tribunal for Middle Eastern connected terrorists both foreign and those in this country illegally. If this procedure shows any sign of being exploited against our own liberties I would expect all of us to take a major stand against those responsible.
