Are the courts filled by reprobate judges who have lost all sense of moral decency? The Economist seems to think so. In a June 28th Economist article entitled
Judges Behaving Badly, the author lists a series incidents exposing the corrupt state of America’s judiciary. A former judge attempted to sue for $54 million because a dry cleaner lost his trousers. A Florida judge was removed from the bench because of repeated complaints of abusive behavior. So was a California judged for similar conduct, which included increasing jail sentences for daring to question his rulings. A New York judge was ousted after he challenged a defendant to a fistfight during a trial. Luckily, he did not use the gun he was carrying. Other judges have had to step down because of sexual misconduct. One judge was jailed after being caught downloading child pornography. Another judge was caught mating with a female attorney in chambers. Others judges were caught and removed from office for other sexual acts in chambers, and it only gets worse. A New York judge was jailed for taking bribes to rig divorce cases. Another New York judge was caught charging people for referrals to certain lawyers. These incidents reveal a trend of increasing judicial corruption that is creating public distrust. (more…)

Why is Congress trying to supply the world with contraceptives? June 15, 2007

Did American voters elect congressional democrats to spend millions of dollars on contraceptives for foreign peoples? Apparently, House Democrats think they did. According to the Catholic Families and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam), US House Appropriation Committee approved a new foreign aid bill that will give millions of condoms to NGOs for family planning. Because condoms will be given to NGOs known to promote abortion, C-Fam regards the intended policy as an “in-kind” support of abortion. This change not only reflects the Carnahan bill but is also undermines foreign aid restrictions. (more…)

US Chamber of Commerce (USCC) leaders are among those singing the tune of immigrant amnesty. They propose a regurgitated immigration reform plan propped up by four pillars.
Pillar one. The USCC proposes increased border security, which echoes the existing bill being proposed to Congress. They want guest workers as well as carefully screened immigrants permitted in America. They claim it will allow law enforcement to focus their resources on criminals and terrorists. Most Americans have agreed on securing the borders for many years, even after Congress opened the borders to all aliens whether criminal or not. Since 9/11 and 12 million aliens later, the USCC, like Congress, again claims we need secure borders. (more…)

Accuracy in Media (AIM) makes the incredible claim that Hillary Clinton was responsible for end of Don Imus’ career at NBC. Most believe it was the result of Imus’ tawdry remarks about the young ladies of Rutger College. Their complaints were furthered by the influence of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, the two outstanding spokesmen of freedom and civility. According to AIM, Media Matters was the first to air the demand for Imus’ head on the Senator’s silver platter. (more…)
