Exposed! Soros' proposal for 'elite' judiciary

Exposed! Soros' proposal for 'elite' judiciary

"George Soros plans to influence the selection of state Supreme Court justices across the country. He's funding massive efforts to end judicial elections in state after state, pushing instead for 'merit based appointments' that favor the political interests of the liberal lawyers who pick the judges," Matthew Vadum, the CRC chief who edited Gizzi's report, told WND.

"Because state Supreme Courts may have a say in redistricting after the 2010 Census is completed it is essential that citizens and state officeholders scrutinize who's behind efforts to overturn judicial elections," he said....

Soros is running some Secretary of States, but now he wants to run state Supreme Court justices. He already runs Drive By Media and Executive Office and has been running Congress. Let's hope that stops in 2010, but it will be an uphill battle to maintain.

Keep your eyes on all elected judges in 2010.

Does all this sound heavy handed? It is. It is an interference with Dan Fagan’s constitutional right to free speech. It is also a shocking indictment against Lisa Murkowski. How low will she go to hold onto power? First, she gets the Division of Elections to change its write-in process – a process that Judge Pfiffner correctly determined had been in place without change for 50 years. She is accepting financial support from federal contractors, an act that is highly questionable and now pending before the FEC. And today, she played her last card. She made it clear that if you disagree with her and encourage others to exercise their civic rights, she’ll take you off the air.

The concept of “electioneering” involves several issues, but typically refers to campaigning at the polls, which is appropriately banned. Under federal law, it can also mean paying for advertising on broadcast media during a federal election cycle, and it requires disclosures if done by groups and corporations. Fagan used satire to mock Murkowski’s write-in efforts and encouraged Alaskans to run as write-in candidates. That is not illegal. That is free speech....

Vote Fraud Threatens Election Outcome: An Interview with Hans von Spakovsky

Vote Fraud Threatens Election Outcome: An Interview with Hans von Spakovsky
When asked about how concerned he is about the integrity of the upcoming elections, he replied that “any place where it comes down to the wire, any place around the country where we have a really close election, well, that’s when we have to be worried, because anytime you have a really close election where a small number of votes is going to make the difference—like what happened in Minnesota—that’s when people who can put out bogus votes, that’s when the temptation is greatest, and that’s where it can really make a difference. Any time we have a close election, that’s when we’ve got to be vigilant the most.”
Beware, they can't be trusted. Al Franken?

Retired O’Connor Still Making Trouble - Andrew C. McCarthy - National Review Online

Retired O’Connor Still Making Trouble - Andrew C. McCarthy - National Review Online
The decision in the case, Gonzalez v. Arizona, was not actually rendered by Ninth Circuit judges, only one of whom agreed with it. As Ed Whelan notes in a Bench Memos post, the deciding vote was cast by the supposedly retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Justice O’Connor claims the power to sit by designation on cases in the federal appellate and district courts, despite the fact that she is now an overt political activist. Under the rules of judicial ethics, that ought to sideline her as a jurist. But of course, a politician can get a lot more accomplished wearing a robe.
Sandra Day O'Connor is a disgrace and representative of Libs that don't respect the Law, but make up the Law as it suits them.

[Update 13 Oct 2010: Kerchner v Obama - Supreme Court Activity]

Obama is not Article II constitutionally eligible to be the President and Commander of our military. Obama is NOT a "natural born Citizen" to constitutional standards. Obama's father was NOT a U.S. Citizen. Obama's father was not an immigrant to the United States. Obama's father was a foreign national, a British Subject. Obama is the child of an alien father who was sojourning in the U.S. attending college. Obama was born a British Subject via his father and is still such to this day. Obama has never conclusively proved he was born in Hawaii. Obama's paternal family in Kenya, Kenyan government officials, and newspapers in Kenya say he was born in Kenya. Obama's maternal grandmother likely falsely and illegally registered him as born in Hawaii to get him, her new foreign-born grandson, U.S. Citizenship.

History shows us that a popularly elected, but ineligible, chief executive in the executive branch of a government can be legally and constitutionally removed from office, e.g., Governor Thomas H. Moodie of North Dakota was a prime example. After he was sworn in and serving as Governor, the North Dakota State Supreme Court ordered Governor Moodie removed from office, after it was determined that he was constitutionally and legally ineligible to serve in the office to which he was popularly elected.

Jocelyn Benson: Soros Trojan Horse? | themichiganview.com | The Michigan View

Jocelyn Benson: Soros Trojan Horse? | themichiganview.com | The Michigan View

Benson, an ambitious, young lefty running for Michigan SoS has been defensive about Soros and has even told reporters she is unfamiliar with him - a claim which stretches credulity given her previous employment as an assistant national field director for John Kerry's presidential campaign and the involvement of her own husband, Ryan Friedrichs, with national election politics (Michigan-based Friedrich's prominent election activism - he himself worked for the Franken campaign in 2008 — would seem to at least be a conflict of interest).

Regardless, Benson has long been the focus of Soros' organizations beginning with her endorsement in 2009 by the Soros-backed SOS Project, a so-called "527" non-profit with the explicit goal of getting Democratic SoS candidates elected. Since then, her campaign has received $800,000 in contributions - not all from Soros groups — "a staggering amount for an SoS race," says Vadum. Her opponent, Republican Ruth Johnson, has raised $500,000.

In addition to massive labor union contributions and support from radical lefties like Courtney Hull of Van Jones' "Green for All" project, Benson has received substantial contributions from Soros pals including:

- Secretary of State Project - $3,000 (SoS Project has also given $36,000 to the Michigan Democratic Party).

- Frances Kieschnick, Palo Alto, California - $1,000. Wife of Michael Kieschnick, founder of the Secretary of State Project and a member of the Soros-led Democracy Alliance.

- People for the American Way (PAC), $200. PAW is a Democracy Alliance-approved organization.

- ActBlue - $22,825. This Soros-affiliated 527 group has raised more money for Benson than any other SOS candidate.

"The Soros circle is interested in getting Jocelyn Benson elected," concludes Vadum, "because her rulings can make the difference between Democrats winning and losing."

In its endorsement of Benson, Soros' SoS Project lauds as her as an "election law scholar and community organizer." In addition to Benson, the organization is also targeting Minnesota's Ritchie in 2010 and Debra Bowen in California.

"The strategic targeting of the SoS Project yielded astounding results in 2008 and 2006," continues Vadum. "In 2008, SoS Project-backed Democrats Linda McCulloch (Montana), Natalie Tennant (West Virginia), Robin Carnahan (Missouri), and Kate Brown (Oregon) won their races."

But there's more. "Benson is a candidate ACORN would love," writes Vadum. "Last year in Michigan, she helped to lead the fight to stop the Republican secretary of state 'from disenfranchising voters who were victims of home foreclosures.'"

Indeed, Benson has used Soros' network of shadowy, Soros-funded groups to make the foreclosure conspiracy a centerpiece of her campaign even as the current SoS, Terry Lynn Land denies any such plot. In a candidate interview, The Detroit News editorial board asked Benson where she got her evidence.

Benson cited widespread "media reports." When pressed on which media she was referring to, she admitted the conspiracy was "reported" by only one publication: The Michigan Messenger. What is the Michigan Messenger? A left-wing propaganda publication funded by George Soros.

Senator: Outrageous For DoJ To Solicit Congratulation For Procrastination

Oct 27 2010

WASHINGTON – Following a news report in which the U.S. Department of Justice touted its enforcement of the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act in the weeks before the mid-term elections, U.S. Senator John Cornyn issued the following statement:

“It is outrageous that the Department of Justice would solicit congratulation for procrastination, while many of our military voters are very likely being disenfranchised. The department should have been more proactive much earlier, by giving each state clear guidance on the new requirements under the MOVE Act and by ensuring from the start that each state had a satisfactory game plan for protecting the voting rights of our troops and their families. Instead, the department sat back and watched as states tested the limits of the MOVE Act, then tried to patch problems after the fact with half-measures. Our military voters deserve better than this lethargic approach from the Department of Justice.”

This "administration" doesn't want the military to vote. If you were Obama, would you?

Holy Hypocrisy: Superior Court Judge Rules Senate Candidate Joe Miller Must Release his Records to the MEDIA, Got Obama's Records!? | Birther Report: Obama Release Your Records

Holy Hypocrisy: Superior Court Judge Rules Senate Candidate Joe Miller Must Release his Records to the MEDIA, Got Obama's Records!? | Birther Report: Obama Release Your Records
If this doesn't make your blood boil nothing will. The Wall Street Journal reports that numerous MEDIA outlets filed suit to gain access to Senate candidate Joe Miller's law records. The Judge ruled; "Mr. Miller is a public figure by virtue of the fact that he's a candidate for the U.S. Senate," thus, "the public's need to know is more compelling than Mr. Miller’s right to privacy."

My question is; WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE MEDIA IN REGARDS TO OBAMA'S PAST RECORDS!? Sorry, I keep forgetting that the media only investigates the past of Republican candidates. I wonder what would happen if Joe Miller possessed a Social Security Number that did not belong to him!?
Don't have any right to Obama data because the public need not know the truth about O.

Liberty Central’s Targeted Races « Liberty Central

Liberty Central’s Targeted Races « Liberty Central

Publishing our Congressional Scorecards was our first step in determining which Congressional races are the most important for Liberty Central to focus on in November. These scorecards analyzed how Members of Congress voted on legislation such as cap and trade, ObamaCare, and the Dodd Frank Financial Overhaul. Click here to see how your Member of Congress voted during the 111th Congress.

Other criteria for choosing our battleground target races included: talking with grassroots citizens in each state, talking with allies in the conservative movement, assessing the likelihood of success by a challenger, and evaluating the results from the Candidate Surveys (go here to see if your favorite candidate returned our survey).

Our goal is to nationalize these races because of what we witnessed last January: many inside, and outside, the state lines of Massachusetts understood the tremendous opportunity to bring national attention to Massachusetts and elect a more conservative alternative to be the 40th vote against ObamaCare. What happened then needs to happen now on a bigger scale. Friends called friends, volunteers swarmed, and small to large donations crossed state lines, all in an effort to stop the hard left agenda.

Liberty Central is a terrific web site.

The best incumbent grade was C, most were F.

Stop the Injustice support LTC Lakin!

American Patriot Foundation, Inc. / 1101 Thirtieth Street, N.W., Suite 500 / Washington, D.C. 20007 / 202/725-7659
“Loyalty: Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other soldiers.”
The Constitution Matters
The U.S. Constitution: Article II, Section 1: Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
On April 7, 2010, Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, a flight
surgeon with eighteen years of service in the U.S. Army, informed his chain of command that he would disobey military orders, including his deployment orders to Afghanistan. LTC Lakin had several prior deployments, including Honduras, and year-long deployments to Bosnia and Afghanistan, but felt compelled to uphold the oath he swore as an officer, to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. LTC Lakin was troubled by reports that Obama had never proven he was a "natural born" citizen by disclosing his original birth certificate. His own deployment orders required him to produce "copies of his birth certificate."
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, the press corps questioned candidate McCain's "natural born" status; he produced an original birth certificate and the Senate voted in a non-binding resolution to affirm McCain's "natural born" status"; the Senate was silent about Obama's Constitutional eligibility.
The Truth Matters
LTC Lakin tried, through his chains of command and his Congressional delegation, to determine whether Barack Obama was constitutionally eligible to serve as Commander-in- Chief, but his inquiries were met with stonewalling and evasions. He wrote to the Army in April 2009:
"Reviewing FM 6-22 Army Leadership (especially most of chapter 2, para 4-73 thru 4-77) grounds me in my belief that I have a duty to submit this concern. I have agreed to live by the Army Values of LDRSHIP, and these values directly apply:
Loyalty- Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other Soldiers; Selfless Service- Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and subordinates before your own. Integrity- Do what’s right—legally and morally. I also have agreed to expect the same from my Leaders."

The Case against LTC Lakin
On April 22, LTC Lakin was slapped with felony-equivalent charges, of missing movement and disobeying orders. He faces imminent court-martial and risks years of hard labor and confinement at Fort Leavenworth military prison. The Army is seeking to deny LTC Lakin the right to evidence to defend
himself, denying him witnesses and documents from Hawaii which could determine whether the President is lawfully serving as Commander- in-Chief. Since the Nuremberg
trials after World War II, the Principles espoused at Nuremberg disallowed military officers from using the defense of "following orders."* From 1946 onward, military officers had a positive duty to establish the lawfulness of their orders and are informed of their "duty to disobey." *Principle IV
The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.
The Obama "online" Certification of Live Birth (COLB) was falsely portrayed as an original birth certificate. The State of Hawaii has never claimed the COLB as a state document. The original Obama birth record remains undisclosed, along with academic and school records, passport file, and all other information which might shed light on Obama's citizenship status. Even to this day, no hospital in Hawaii will claim to be the birthplace of President Obama, although at one time, two hospital names were mentioned in the newspapers- first Queens, then Kapi'olani.
Several Kenyans, including prominent leaders in Kenya, assert that Obama was born in Kenya. Among them: Sarah Obama (paternal step-grandmother to Barack Obama); Kenya's Ambassador to the U.S., Peter Ogego; and recently on March 25th, in a speech on the floor of the Kenyan Parliament, Minister of Lands James Orengo.
Not a single eyewitness has surfaced to attest that Obama was born in Hawaii in August 1961, as claimed.
"The Constitution matters, so does the Truth." Please call and/or write your elected leadership and encourage them to raise publicly the plight of LTC Lakin. No soldier should face jail time for fulfilling his duty to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Every American citizen at some time in their lives has had to present proof of their birth and citizenship; Obama refuses to do so.
President Obama (June 23, 2010): The conduct represented in the recently published article does not meet the standard that should be set by a commanding general. It undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system.
The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
"I, _____ , having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

Mayor Bloomberg Slams Board of Elections for Failure to Mail Military Ballots - FoxNews.com

Mayor Bloomberg Slams Board of Elections for Failure to Mail Military Ballots - FoxNews.com
The MOVE Act was passed in 2009. It's lead author and sponsor was Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Senate Rules Committee. It was co-sponsored by John Cornyn (R-Texas.)

In a statement to FoxNews.com, Sen. Schumer said:

"Put these ballots on the next plane to Afghanistan. These soldiers sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms, they should never, ever be denied their right to vote. I wrote and passed this law so our brave men and women overseas would no longer be disenfranchised and there is absolutely no excuse for failing to get this done. The boards of election should immediately get these ballots to each and every one of our service members around the world. They should overnight them if they have to — no ifs, ands or buts."

Cornyn gave this statement to FoxNews.com:

"The fact that New York government officials failed to live up to the clear terms of the waiver is shocking, in light of how much our troops have sacrificed in the years since 9/11. This is a clear violation of federal voting rights law. If DOJ does not file a suit to right this wrong as soon as the courts open on Tuesday, then we will know once and for all that DOJ is not serious about safeguarding military voting rights."

The Senate passed the final version of a bill to overhaul the nation’s health care system in March using a procedure known as reconciliation, which allows the Senate to bypass a filibuster with a simple majority. The bill mandates that individuals buy health insurance with exceptions for certain religious groups and those who cannot afford coverage. Those who do not buy insurance will be subject to a tax. Under the bill, beginning in 2014 insurance companies cannot deny coverage based on pre-existing medical conditions, and cannot drop coverage of people who become ill. In addition, a section of the bill makes the federal government the sole originator of student loans.
