"It would seem to me that it would not be without merit to establish a national association.......made up of attorneys who have left the ABA..."

Superb idea. We'd need a "David Horowitz" from the legal community for that task........and I already have a candidate. It's John Plecnik, who is a law student at Duke University, and happens also to be a good friend of Judson Cox, the founder, Editor in Chief and Publisher of The North Carolina Conservative newspaper.

John Plecnik's email is: John.Plecnik@law.duke.edu

John writes splendid articles on the abuses of power in the judiciary, and he has the focus and energy to start up exactly the kind of organization that you smartly propose. Let's send him some encouragement!

Here is John Plecnik's most recent column, which I believe I posted on FR myself a few days ago, but no longer have the link, so here's the link and an excerpt:

Open Letter to Congress: Impeach Activist, Rock Star Judges

Excerpt:

"For too long, congress has allowed federal judges, appointed pursuant to Article III of the U.S. Constitution, to flaunt the law. Appointed for life during good behavior, these judges, including members of the Supreme Court and “9 th U.S. Circus Court of Appeals,” are vulnerable to “impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Just like the president, they can be impeached by a majority vote of the House of Representatives and convicted by a two thirds vote in the Senate. The time has come for good conservatives and true patriots to demand that congress impeach the activist, rock star judges.

Last Thursday, Rush Limbaugh gave a nod to “this 21-year-old student from Duke.” The king of conservative radio read my column, “Rock Star Judges Usurp Power for Fame,” over the air on his nationally syndicated program. Millions listened. Many replied. And I am left with a sense of hope that we can make a difference. We can force congress to perform its duty and protect the Constitution from a judiciary run amuck."

Item:I heard Rush read John's entire column on the air that morning. I was driving, but I went right to the article upon arriving home, and posted it on FR - not from mensnewsdaily, but from another web journal. It is now posted on quite a lot of e-zines.
