Michelle Malkin has a post that includes a bloodied police officer who was assaulted by a mob who disabled their car and then jumped them. Next time you are at a conference like IIMPR and people ask why IndyMedia isn’t taken as seriously, it might be because they gloat when their comrades attack cops.

A student at Victory Valley Community College was given a failing grade for using the word “God” in her term paper. The options she was given when challenging it was to revise, rewrite, or take another topic. The reason the administration gave is because using “God” with a capital G would offend people.
In this case, it isn’t even a paper meant to evangelize, it is a paper expressing an opinion. The fact that the student capitalized God indicates her personal faith, a faith that’s very existence is offensive to her instructor and school. They failed her because some would be offended at the simple fact she was a Christian. On campuses where one can wear various logos of the GLBT movement, communism, the Democratic Party, and other liberal causes, the very thought of a student indicated she believes in God is offensive and needs to be suppressed.
The ACLJ is representing her in this case. (The ACLJ is a conservative version of the ACLU, or better yet, what the ACLU should be). The say:
The ACLJ said his actions are unconstitutional. “A student’s constitutional free speech rights to express religious views are fully protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments,” the ACLJ wrote.
In addition to an apology and a re-grading of Hauf’s paper, the ACLJ demands Shefchik “receive some kind of training to sensitize him to the constitutional dimensions of his employment in a public educational institution, including his duty to respect constitutional freedoms of expression.”

I am writing to declare my intention to seek nomination to the United States Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Under the criteria put forward by the United States Constitution I am qualified for that office, I am a loyal citizen, and I am studied in law (though not a lawyer).
During this time of discernment of the wide array of choices to fill that office, I believe I am the most ideal candidate. Some may criticize the fact that I am not a lawyer (which incidentally is not required to be a federal judge), but I believe that this fact will assure that I bring a needed element of diversity to the court. Many of our conflicts of law result from the debating and pouring of minutiae that the simple desire to faithfully see the laws are followed and justice done has been forgotten. In the quest to get higher and higher jury awards, it is forgotten that it is the consumer, not the business, which pays. This critical understanding of the tort system brings added perspective to the judicial debate on tort reform.
I am a strict interpreter of the law. What is written is the law, not what I would like the law to be. If the people or the Legislature wants the law to be different, they have the obligation to change it. I believe in the system of checks and balances, which includes checks and balances on the courts which have been ignored in the past. I believe that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and that European or other nation’s conventions or laws have no bearing on the meaning of our Constitution. I believe that the right of life should be presumed until the legislature can write laws to the contrary in the case of the unborn.
Much discussion has been had on the new media (blogging) and how it is revolutionizing the media and political discussion in this country. As a blogger (now ranked #172 in the TTLB ecosystem, and a contributor to several top 100 blogs) I would bring that cutting-edge experience to the court. I would also like to establish a Supreme Court blog for the public to get a closer view of the court and increase a feeling of transparency.
During this time, people all over the political spectrum are look to the President and most expect a bold choice. A non-lawyer blogger would certainly be that choice. I look forward to answering any questions you might have.
Sincerely,
John Bambenek
