New John Kerry E-Mail Concerning Judicial Nominees [Please Call The Republican Leadership]

April 1, 2005

[conservativecorner]

Dear XXXXXX,

Within a matter of days, the Senate could face a truly momentous decision - one with consequences that will reverberate across America for decades to come.

Senator Frist, the Republican Majority Leader, has a plan to make President Bush's judicial nominations immune to a Senate filibuster. If he can convince enough Republican Senators to go along, the nomination and confirmation of judges will become a tightly-controlled, one-party affair.

We're working hard to make sure the Senate doesn't cross this dangerous line. Here's how you can help.

Please Call Your Republican Senators Now!

Please contact Senators Frist and Alexander now. In polite and respectful language, make it clear that as one of their constituents you are counting on them to oppose Senator Frist's dangerous plan to deny millions of Americans any meaningful voice in decisions vital to America's future.

Senator Frist's office can be reached at: Chattanooga 423-756-2757 Jackson 731-424-9655 Kingsport/Tri-Cities 423-323-1252 Knoxville 865-637-4180 Memphis 901-683-1910 Nashville 615-352-9411

Senator Alexander's office can be reached at: Chattanooga 423-752-5337 Jackson 731-423-9344 Knoxville 865-545-4253 Memphis 901-544-4224 Nashville 615-736-5129 Tri-Cities (Blountville) 423-325-6240

To help us track the number of calls our campaign is generating and know where we need to place our efforts, please let us know you've made the calls.

There is so much on the line in this debate. And, I am convinced that if we mobilize as quickly and effectively as possible, we can prevent the Senate from taking the dangerous course that Republican leaders have called for. Remember, we're fighting for the strength and vibrancy of democracy itself.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. If you need extra incentive for making those calls:

Imagine a world in which every appointment to the federal judiciary is a tightly-controlled, one-party exercise. Imagine the kinds of judges that will sit on the federal bench - even on the Supreme Court -- if George W. Bush never needs a single Democratic vote. Imagine the kind of decisions those judges will make that will directly affect your life and your constitutional rights.

John, how about going back to the long tradition of bringing the nominee up for a vote if the nominee clearly had majority support. Also, how about the 180 you still haven't signed?

[Rummyfan]

Dear John Kerry -

KMA! I Thank God every day that you were not elected president of this great nation. Go home, Ter-ay-za is calling!

[West Coast Conservative]

Within a matter of days, the Senate could face a truly momentous decision - one with consequences that will reverberate across America for decades to come.

Is he thinking of filibustering Bolton?

[Holicheese]

"If he can convince enough Republican Senators to go along, the nomination and confirmation of judges will become a tightly-controlled, one-party affair. "

So John, you would not want it to be all liberal democrats or would that be OK with you?

[Kerretarded]

And it isn't a a tightly-controlled, one-party affair right now?

Only problem is that it is controlled by the MINORITY!

[Sender]

God forbid that the President and the majority party that controls all the forts should get to choose anybody. What treason! Moveon.barf!

[pfony1]

One would think that a person who does not understand the concept of "majority rule" would be disqualified for ANY legislative job...

[Puppage]

the nomination and confirmation of judges will become a tightly-controlled, one-party affair

Yeah, well....that happens when one party is a majority.

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm really starting to hate these folks.....

[squirt-gun]

Senator Byrd recently said all this stuff isn't necessary....Just have a voice vote in the Senate. There is no law or constitutional stipulation which supports the current rules according to Byrd.

[isthisnickcool]

John, how about going back to the long tradition of bringing the nominee up for a vote if the nominee clearly had majority support. Also, how about the 180 you still haven't signed?

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Article II, section 2 of the Constitution (see above in bold)does not mandate any vote at all. All that's necessary is for 51 Senators to tell the president that the president has their "consent" for a nominee. There is nothing in the Constitution about hearings for the nominee either.

We have people in Washington that need to learn that if they want to run the government they might consider reading the "users manual" the founders provided.

[GoLightly]

Since Kerry deemed it to be an important issue, it looks like I may need to call my two Senators. It's an odd situation, where a smallish state like mine has two Senators on the Judicial committee, both from the minority party. "Blue" state Wisconsin is more like purple than true blue & it might be a good idea to remind the guys we (cough, cough) send to DC to represent us.

[hophead]

"I'm really starting to hate these folks...."

My, you are a late bloomer aren't you!

[hophead]

I suggest everyone go to that web page and leave a note in SUPPORT of the "Constitutional option". I did and left a short 2 word message to mr sKerry personally.

FREEPED!

[Waco]

Fork ya john.

[benny bo bags]

Hey John,
Look under that thing called the constitution and you can see senate filibuster aren't in there. This senate filibuster thing has just been something thrown back and fourth by both sides for sometime now. If Bush and Frist want to follow the majority of the country in nominating judges who will interpret the rules that govern us all and not activist judges who are political hacks for progressive causes then they are entitled to by the American citizenry and god himself.

[infidel29]

Please Call Your Republican Senators Now!

Yes, call them now and, as Arnold Schwartzeneggar said in "Predator", tell them "COME ON, DO IT!!!"

[anniegetyourgun]

I try not to hate people. But I definitely have a sincere dislike of these......

[hipaatwo]

Not only FREEPED but called Sen. Alexanders office, told them about the e-mail, forwarded it to them. Got a reply saying thank you, that explains all the calls.

[bitt]

Lying traitor ping

[OldFriend]

I have called Senator Frist's office so many times....to tell him to do whatever is necessary to get President Bush's nominees to the floor for a vote.

At this point they probably think I am one of the nominees!

Ahhhh Johnny we can imagine!!! And it would truly be a dream come true!!!!

[gidget7]

Could be worse!! You could be in MA and have this idiot and Kennedy!!! We have no one to call!

It's not like my guys listen to me any more than yours listen to you. LOL Least your state is so red, they don't even bother to fudge the elections.

[gidget7]

Red??? My state??? Only in my dreams, its so blue you can smell it. Quite foul actually!

I live in one of the bluest states! Kerry and Kennedy are only part of the problem! There are MANY more like them.

[GoLightly]

My brain is still somewhat stuck in the old days, before they switched the colors. LOL

[gidget7]

oh I see!! LOL

[nightdriver]

"Imagine a world in which every appointment to the federal judiciary is a tightly-controlled, one-party exercise."

That's funny. I don't remember him being so excited over the democRATs rubber-stamping the liberal justices when they were the majority.

But that's just me.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Uphold the US Constituion!

Too bad the "Move On" FReepers just don't understand
the real threat that the likes of Hanoi Kerry pose to our country.

I just don't understand their reasoning in saying
"drop it", "your wasting your time", "give it up" etc.

Some even howl when I remind them the job is NOT done.

Well I have news for them.

I've been posting threads
on the Viet Nam anti war "crowd"
almost from day one on FR.

So why do they think I'll stop now?

Don't be like the Silent Majority in the 60's and 70's
Demand Kerry be ousted from the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

States like yours being red made so much more sense than the way they do it now. When they first made the switch, they tried to say that they changed it based on which party had won the last time. 2004 proves that they were lying about it or they hadn't come around to the actual results of 2000 yet.

[Soaring Feather]

bump

[Yehuda]

excellent

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Who is XXXXXX, ?

LMAO

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Just A Nobody]

"Who is XXXXXX, ?"


I am not sure of the address but I think he voted in Wisconsin.......and Oregon........and Pennsylvania......and New Hampshire.......and Minnesota.....and I think a couple times in Michigan.

[USMC Veteran]

Please contact Senators Frist and Alexander now. In polite and respectful language, make it clear that as one of their constituents you are counting on them to oppose Senator Frist's dangerous plan to deny millions of Americans any meaningful voice in decisions vital to America's future.

So basically he is telling his entire mailing list to lie to U.S. Senators in an effort to undermine the lawful nomination of judges.

[MHGinTN]

"We're working hard to make sure the Senate doesn't cross this dangerous line." ... And since we did precisely that, nominate and approve Judges we democrats for abortion, homosexuality, etc. without the need for a single Republican vote so our courts are now packed with our liberal rubber stamptroopers, we damn sure don't want our successes to be eroded by the Republicans doing the same thing.

[Colt .45]

Sounds to me like too much pahtying by the wahtah neah Hahvard. But in the case of that drunken bloviating fat assed fool Kennedy, I believe that would be Chappaquidick. Just ask Mary Jo Kopechne, but alas she can't say as Teddy made sure she couldn't swim out of the cah.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[Arrowhead1952]

Dear non-Senator Kerry [and thank God you were NOT elected President]. I will contact my state Senators, the Honorable Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn and in polite and respectful language, make it clear that as one of their constituents I am counting on them to oppose FULLY SUPPORT Senator Frist's dangerous plan to deny A FEW LIBERAL JUDGES TO CONTINUE LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH AND FORCING THEIR AGENDA ON millions of Americans INSTEAD OF HAVING any meaningful voice in decisions vital to America's future AT THE VOTING BOOTH.

As for you horse face, why don't you go shut your big liberal piehole and

SIGN THE SF 180, you CHICKEN.

[txradioguy]

61 days and counting since sKerry said he'd release all his military doccuments.

[guardian_of_liberty]

Here's my letter to john boy.
"Sorry john, the US Constitution only requires a majority of Senators to comfirm judicial nominees. That means 51 Senators NOT 60. So try reading the Constitution before making an idiot of youeself."

[free_life]

Better it is controlled by the minority! Duh!

[bitt]

[smokeyb]

Let them do it. They didn't listen to us concerning Arlen, why would they listen to anyone now?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Lmao he must be an illegal

[Just A Nobody]

"...he must be an illegal"


OR - just a good komrade following direct orders.
