This image was from the Washington State University graduation were Democrat Governor-Select Christine Gregoire (yeah, that one who stole the election in Washington by throwing out real votes and continuing to “find” uncounted ballots, complete with felon votes, fraud votes, etc) was the commencement speaker.

1) There will be vacancies soon in the Supreme Court. No one knows how soon is soon, but these people aren’t going to live to 150. I’m sure a few are waiting to see how the filibuster fight plays out.
2) There is an election in 2006 coming up and there are endangered Republicans this time around (Santorum comes to mind).
3) Bush is gone in 2008. There is no solid conservative that looks to be emerging anywhere close as a frontrunner. Sure, it’s too soon to tell, but Rice and Guiliani are not pro-life. McCain is more interested in preserving the status quo that actually moving to do much about pro-life issues. He’s certainly no conservative. People mention Arnold, but a amendment is unlikely and he’s not precisely pro-life himself anyway.
The facts are that whatever judges Bush gets through will be around for awhile and he could shape the court for a long time given the opportunity. However, once he’s out of office, there is not much hope of getting a solid pro-life President to appoint solid pro-life and/or conservative judges. The Democrats know this. They know McCain or Guiliani’s picks will be much more to their liking, they just have to stall for rain. (This says nothing about the decent possibility of a Democrat president).
The dam must be knocked down and now. Until it is, there will be no Supreme Court vacancies except in the case of death or significant illness (more significant than Rehnquist’s apparently). At best, they can hope for Rehnquist to step down and let the Dems filibuster his replacement that has no hope of changing the composition of the Court (except perhaps lurching it leftward). The would be a PR nightmare.
But as long as no solid conservatives get through there will be no ability to remake the juristocracy that so desperately needs to be undone. If the roadblock doesn’t get moved, there will be no hope to overturn Roe v Wade for decades. The winner of the filibuster fight gets control of the courts. If the GOP wants to play second fiddle to the DNC even though they are in the majority, the DNC picks the courts and the window slams shut.
Now is the time to end the juristocracy and restore the Republic… will the GOP have the courage to do it?

The number of allegations of sexual abuse made against UN personnel more than doubled from 2003 to 2004, most of those complaints are against UN peacekeepers (i.e. Sex-for-Food). Many include complaints from minors. There are some who say we need the UN… well can we get it without all the rapists please?

An Indiana congressman plans to curb the ACLU’s appetite for filing suits targeting religion in the public square by introducing a bill that denies plaintiff attorneys the right to collect attorneys fees in such cases.
Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., is expected to file his measure next week to amend the Civil Rights Attorney’s Fees Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 1988, to prohibit prevailing parties from being awarded attorneys fee in religious establishment cases, but not in other civil rights filings. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44155
See my post! http://stoptheaclu.blogspot.com/2005/05/bill-to-take-profit-out-of-anti.html Tell everyone to contact their reps and senators and voice their support!
