This Election Is All About the Courts

With two weeks till the election, Democrats are giddy about their prospects, reports the New York Times. But a Democratic Congress, warns Phyllis Schlafly, would cripple the effort to end judicial tyranny and restore democracy. The author of The Supremacists says this is a disaster we must avoid.

Judicial Tyranny Thrives in Lower Courts

Supremacist judges on lower federal courts are increasingly aggressive in handing down decisions against parents' rights and religion and in favor of feminists and gays. And since the Supreme Court has cut its caseload by half since 1980, these absurd decisions are final. We must monitor nominations to the lower federal courts just as closely as Supreme Court nominations, warns Phyllis Schlafly.

Pence's immigration plan is no solution

President Bush has proved again that he's not serious about securing our borders. Why else would he send Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to support Indiana Congressman Mike Pence at a press conference today? Pence's highly-touted immigration plan is better known as "Amnesty Lite and Unlimited Guest Workers," says Phyllis Schlafly. And the executive branch isn't the only power putting our country at risk. Supremacist judges are just as guilty.

Mrs. Schlafly, the author of The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It, is associated with the Secure Borders Coalition, whose members have signed a Declaration to oppose any political candidates who support the Pence or any other guest worker plan.

Will Kelo pave the way to a North American "community"?

The infamous Kelo decision, which allowed a developer to seize private property under eminent domain, could do more damage than anyone expected. A Spanish company will claim the property of dozens of ranchers and farmers in Oklahoma and Texas to build a toll road next year--and collect the profits. This outrage is only the beginning, says Phyllis Schlafly, the author of The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It.

Americans know Snow White's dwarfs, but can't name the Supreme Court judges

Americans can name Snow White's seven dwarfs, but not their Supreme Court justices, reports a new Zogby poll. This shocking insight into the American mind underscores one reason our judicial system is so awry. Informed voters are the first line of defense against judicial tyranny, says Phyllis Schlafly.

Wash State turns down gay marriage

Perhaps there are limits on judicial tyranny after all. The high courts of New York, Georgia, and now Washington have upheld laws against gay marriage. Gay activists are discovering that they can't depend on the courts to enact their agenda, says Phyllis Schlafly.

Finally, Congress fights back

Michael Newdow, the California atheist infamous for his tiresome crusade against the Pledge of Allegiance, received bad news on Wednesday. The House of Representatives passed a measure to remove all Pledge cases from the courts. If the Senate follows suit, Newdow will be barred from abusing our judiciary and our Pledge.

SCOTUSBlog has the news here.

This is just what Phyllis Schlafly prescribed.

Bush & Congress play dead for Supremacist Court

The Supreme Court's recent decision regarding Guantanomo detainees (the Hamdan case) is outrageous for three reasons:

1. The Court concocted its own version of the Geneva Conventions, elevating terrorists to the status of POWs.

2. The Court was never supposed to be involved in Hamdan's case. Congress expressly prohibited it.

3. The Court refused to recognize the Constitution's limits on its power, and neither Congress nor President Bush did anything about it.

Supreme Court's on vacation. Time for Congress to get to work.

With the Supreme Court on vacation, now's the time for Congress to limit the scope for judicial mischief. National Review Online's Hadley Arkes suggests cutting off federal funding for partial-birth abortion and protecting tax-exemption for religious organizations that oppose gay marriage. These are the kind of measures that Phyllis Schlafly urges in The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It.

Faced with the ultimate challenge to their authority, a voter-proposed constitutional amendment, the judicial tyrants of Massachusetts warn that a ban prohibiting same-sex marriage is "discrimination in its rawest form."

Phyllis Schlafly knows we must keep a vigilant eye on this activist court: the judiciary still poses a threat to this nascent amendment.
