Free Republic

First, I want to thank all the FReepers who were able to attend and to all who contributed to the March for Justice II. It wouldn't have happened without you. I also want to thank our cosponsor, the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary. Our speakers were excellent and I thank them for standing with us. Most of all, thanks to Jim Robinson for all he does.The March for Justice II was a success, even though we didn't accomplish our goal for attendance. We thought 100 to 200 people would attend, in fact there were between 40 and 50--almost all of...

The March for Justice goes much deeper than activist judges - protections against corruption are also essential for liberty.The problems of the judiciary go well beyond: 1) activist judges who create rulings out of thin air and 2) filibusters to block judicial nominees. There is also a concerted effort to not enforce existing constitutional rights (see Clint Bolick’s good summary at http://www.hooverdigest.org/021/bolick.html ). As Bolick notes: “the more subtle type of judicial activism is where courts decline to protect rights that are expressly protected by the Constitution. This species of judicial activism is even more pernicious than the first because...

The argument over what's to be done to break up the filibuster barricade in the Senate continues to heat up, with rallies and counter-charges. Two groups were working in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to try to end the Democratic filibusters which have blocked several of the president's top judicial picks from even receiving up-or-down Senate votes. The Coalition for a Fair Judiciary (CFJ) took to Capitol Hill to lobby for an end to filibusters, while the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration convened a conference to call for an end to what they see as a judicial assault on faith. The...

Jim Robinson and the “Swastika Brigade”—known as Free Republic—are at it again. They’re calling it the March for Justice II. I call it the March for Tyranny II! It’s nothing more than thuggish behavior from conservatives bent on crushing democracy. It’s a travesty. It’s downright despicable of these slow-witted, mind-numbed robots! That’s right! On April 7, 2005 in Washington, D.C., a group of fringe right-wingers will practice their screeching, referred to as “dissent.” But this isn’t the first time this type of tyranny has happened. Jim Robinson has pulled these kinds of shenanigans before. In fact, during the reign of...

Speech Delivered by John Armor, Esq. March for Justice II Washington, D.C. / April 7, 2005 I’m here today because of a brilliant professor in a course I took almost by accident, 41years ago. My last semester in college, I signed up for a course in Constitutional Law. It was taught by Dr. William Muir, a young man who was crippled and wore massive leg braces, but his mind was as sharp as any I’ve ever encountered. He had a passion for the Constitution. He taught that passion to me. At Spring Break, when most of my classmates were on...

Congressman Billybob has been kind enough to write a draft of three versions of letters to deliver to Senators after Thursday's March for Justice. His comments: The most effective action in dealing with Senators (or Representatives) is personal visits. Second to that are personal letters.You who come to the March should bring with you letters on your OWN letterhead. Feel free to use this draft, but REVISE IT in your own words, so the letters will NOT be completely identical. Date The Honorable _________ Senator from ___________ BY HAND DELIVERY Dear Senator _______, I carried this letter with me to...

<p>Ok, what's it going to take to get you to the point of total disgust with our judiciary?</p> <p>How may bad rulings? How many rulings based on liberal Marxist ideology rather than the constitution? How many based on "International Law?" How many of our rights nullified by an out of control judiciary will it take? How many times will we allow the will of the people to be overruled by the judiciary? How many times will we allow our constitution to be subverted by the Men in Black?</p>

<p>Judicial tyranny must end! The filibuster must be broken! The full Senate must have an up or down vote on the president's judicial nominees! We must not allow the Democrat obstructionists the privilege of controlling the confirmation process!</p> <p>No more liberal activists on the bench!</p> <p>Enough is enough!!</p>

Many of those closely following the events in Terri Schiavo's life want this to change. How can we change things? In the whole problem with Terri Schiavo, it seems the courts are the problem. In particular, the judges in the courts. On April 7, 2005, people can go to Capitol Hill and voice their support for President George W Bush's nominees. This event is the March for Justice II. Terri Schiavo may or may not be alive at that time. But if one cares about people like Terri, then you need to be in Washington, DC that day, or making...

<p>In October 1998, Free Republic marched on Washington demanding the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Thanks to our efforts, Clinton was impeached less than two months later.</p> <p>Then, as now, our country stood at a Constitutional crossroad. This year we stand at the crossroad of what kind of judiciary we will have: One that is restrained by the Constitution, or one that abridges our rights by making it up as they go along.</p>
