Confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court

We feel this is very important for the Country.

Senators' deceptions threaten Court nominee

This is from the Desk Of Mat Staver, Chairman, of Liberty Counsel.


Dear Patriots,

Senate Democrats have launched an intense campaign to demonize Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch by labeling him as being a misogynist, a man who places the rights of big business over individuals, excessively pro-Wall Street, and an extremist.

In spite of all of the threats and hurtful labels, Judge Gorsuch is on a whirlwind schedule this week to meet with a dozen Democrat Senators, including Diane Feinstein, who is the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Feinstein, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, will likely spearhead the Democrats' efforts to stop the nomination.

Ironically, this week Judge Gorsuch will be meeting with some of the same senators who helped unanimously confirm him to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2006.

What changed?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell believes he knows the answer. In an op-ed published by Politico, Sen. McConnell wrote,

"Turns out, much of the opposition we're seeing from far left groups and Democratic senators isn't really about Judge Gorsuch at all. It's about President Donald Trump.

Even before the president announced Gorsuch as his nominee, we read headlines like, 'Democrats Launch Scorched-Earth Strategy Against Trump.' We heard the Democratic leader promise to fight whoever he nominated to the court 'tooth-and-nail.' Now some of Senator Schumer's colleagues are attempting to paint this nominee as an 'extremist' and are calling for a filibuster before the ink is even dry on his nomination."

Contrary the the Democrats' propaganda, Judge Neil Gorsuch will help reestablish the rule of law in our nation, help restore the integrity of the Supreme Court, and help honor the legacy of Antonin Scalia in his rulings.

Now is the time to return this country to the rule of law through which judges interpret the original meaning of the Constitution and the laws before them.

Liberty Counsel's "Save Our Courts, Save Our Nation" campaign includes a citizen petition drive in support of Judge Gorsuch's confirmation. As you likely know, this is going to be an intense confirmation battle and we need as many signatures as possible for maximum impact. Using Liberty Counsel's Rapid Sign technology, one click here and your name will be automatically and immediately added to the petition.

It's about politics, not Judge Gorsuch's record!

As noted by Majority Leader McConnell, one Democrat senator "lauded Judge Gorsuch for his 'sense of fairness and impartiality that is a keystone of being a judge.' In the words of President Obama's law school mentor, "He's a 'brilliant, terrific guy who would do the Court's work with distinction.'"

We would like to deliver our first wave of petitions to the Senate as soon as we have 50,000 signatures with an ultimate goal of 100,000+ petition signatures, but we are less than halfway to our first goal.

Join us by clicking here to have your name immediately and automatically included in this petition.

From the Supreme Court to the state and municipal courts, the role of judges is to judge fairly. Judge Neil Gorsuch has epitomized that judicial philosophy throughout his career. He is self-identified as a constitutional textualist, and precisely what the Supreme Court needs now with Justice Scalia gone.

The petitions will be delivered to key members of the Senate ahead of critical moments of the confirmation process.

Please take a few seconds and join with us HERE!

God bless you. And God bless America.

P.S. Liberty Counsel will aggressively work to see Judge Neil Gorsuch's confirmation through to a successful conclusion.

Obama’s Legacy: A litany of Lies, Larceny & Lunacy.

   A noose of tyranny around the throat of America.

I’ll leave it to others to list the entire litany of lies, larceny & lunacy that will be the legacy of the Obama Presidency.  This apparently, is the uppermost thought 24/7, in the consciousness of Barack Hussein Obama. That is, other than replacing our sacred  Constitution with total dominance and rule by the Muslim Brotherhood - that brings with it, all the joys of Jihad-Shariah.

In the five years of Obama’s reign, a noose of tyranny has been tightening around the throat of America.  Every constraint on the powers granted to our Federal Government that is specified in The Constitution of the United States, has been trashed by either an action of a Department or Agency of the Fed or, by an Executive Order directly issued by the President from the Oval Office.

Every traditional freedom granted to us by The Constitution and  enjoyed since  that document was ratified by the original thirteen Colonies, has been crushed under the heel of Obama’s tyrannical boot.  At the peak of his oppressive domination over the Colonies, King George III couldn’t hold a candle to this President’s total assault on our freedoms - and Liberty, itself.

Where is our Congress and where is the Supreme Court – the other two ‘equal’ branches of the Federal Government?

Is this the Hope & Change that the majority of voters who elected and then, re-elected Obama expected?  I don’t think so.

How ironic that I am writing this on the anniversary of D-Day during WWII, that began the march toward Europe’s eventual freedom from Nazi tyranny – and on this same date 69 years later, at the inception of total tyranny in the United States of America, as it is now being implemented by the Obama administration.

ObamaCare Will Bankrupt America

Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number
THE CARE BILL HB 3200


JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX - highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200.

Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59


JUDGE KITHIL wrote:

** Page 50/section 152: The
bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if
they are here illegally.

**
Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an
individual's bank account and will have the authority to make
electronic fund transfers from those accounts.

**
Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the
government) for all union members, union retirees and for
community organizations (such as the Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).

**
Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section
will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their
right mind come up with that?)

**
Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same
regardless of specialty, and the government will set all
doctors' fees.

**
Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care
according to the patient's age.

**
Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on
hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an
exception.

**
Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care
planning consultations.. Those on Social Security will be
required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five
years. (Death counseling..)

**
Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify
which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH ???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:

"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to
members of Congress. Members of Congress are already
exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded
private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on
our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick
'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."

Hat Tip to Mr. I

MORT’s Meanderings

Those unelected people?

In his latest outrageous attack on one of the three ‘equal’ branches of the Federal Government, the Supreme Court, Obama referred to the nine Justices as ‘those unelected people’.

Now, I ask you - - ‘Where in the pluperfect hell does this Chicago street thug get off, characterizing these nine Supreme Court Justices, two of whom he nominated as, ‘those unelected people’? Has any president ever been so derogatory about the sitting Justices on the Supreme Court bench? Even FDR, who was frustrated by the Court and tried unsuccessfully to pack it with more of his enabling cronies, was never so disrespectful to the Judicial Branch of the Federal Government.

I wonder how Obama, the alleged Constitution ‘professor’, would characterize those 32 (latest count) Obama-appointed Czars who are unelected and therefore, unaccountable to either the Congress or the American people? Would he refer to them as ‘those unelected people’? Or, are they somehow – different?

Then, there’s the Chairman of the Federal Reserve – he is an appointed ‘official’. Would he be one of ‘those unelected people’ also? And, how about sweety-cakes Janet Napolitano - - is she another of ‘those unelected people’? And, the ever-lovin’ Attorney General Eric Holder – does he qualify as one of ‘those unelected people’?

Does all this hypocrisy make you as sick to your stomach as it makes me?

If the Street-Thug-in-Chief blatantly shows this lack of respect for the other two branches of the Federal Government – before he is re-elected (throw-up), one can just imagine how much farther he will go when all restraints are off. And, he feels free to do and say and implement whatever nefarious whims he has been holding behind his back.

It makes my skin crawl to think that there is a possibility that there are enough people in this country – legal and illegal – who could vote this raging narcissist in for another term. That would of course, sound the death knell for the freedoms and way of life that we’ve known in the United States of America, since its founding in 1776.

Four more years? I don’t think so. If Obama wins; we lose!

Abortion Surcharge in ObamaCare

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced this week that a minimum of one dollar a month from every ObamaCare participant will help pay for someone’s abortion. The “abortion surcharge” is cleverly hidden in the insurance premium, but not allowed to be listed as a line item. If you find that thought upsetting, as I do, then please join me in committing to pray that ObamaCare will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court!

Thousands of participants in Liberty Counsel’s focused prayer campaign are already calling upon the Lord to “Deliver us from ObamaCare.” But we need your prayers, too! Click here to add your name to Liberty Counsel’s “Book of Remembrance” as your commitment to pray:

http://www.libertyaction.org/346/petition.asp

In case you missed the breaking news about ObamaCare this week, please read my very important update below – Mat.

Patriots,

It’s now official. Contained in just-released Health and Human Services guidelines is yet another mandate that requires an “abortion premium” for the establishment of state health care exchanges.

According to our friends at LifeNews...

“To comply with the accounting requirement, plans will collect a $1 abortion surcharge from each premium payer… The enrollee will make two payments, $1 per month for abortion and another payment for the rest of the services covered.

As described in the rule, the surcharge can only be disclosed to the enrollee at the time of enrollment. Furthermore, insurance plans may only advertise the total cost of the premiums without disclosing that enrollees will be charged a $1 per month fee to directly subsidize abortions.”

Here’s the bottom line: All Americans were lied to by our President, who promised that ObamaCare would not enhance abortion services, nor would taxpayer money be used to fund these murderous procedures!

And you will certainly remember the President’s oh-so-sincere promise that “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.”
It turns out that, too, was a convenient “misrepresentation.”

++CBO Report: ObamaCare cost estimates have doubled!

Yesterday the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its most recent projections revealing that ObamaCare’s costs will be nearly double what the President promised and Congress approved – from $900 Billion to $1.76 Trillion. But independent analysts say the true cost will, in all likelihood, far exceed $2 Trillion over that ten-year span.


We have been saying all along that the Obama administration used accounting trickery to insure that his healthcare package came in under $1 Trillion. Now that, too, has been CONFIRMED.

Far fewer people will be able to obtain employer plans – or keep their existing plans – than was falsely promised.

Further, the CBO report disclosed the likelihood that four million people – more than four times the original estimate – will be unable to have access to healthcare services through their employers.

++We must fervently pray to be delivered from the murderous, unaffordable, deceitful snares of ObamaCare!

I was taken aback when President Barak Obama, the leader who habitually shuns National Day of Prayer observances, called for a “prayer vigil” to rally public support for his cornerstone legislation this week.


As I said at the time, I applaud the President’s desire to submit ObamaCare to the Lord, but I think he may be very surprised at His response!

I am requesting that ALL friends of Liberty Counsel rise up in an unprecedented wave of unity – and PRAY – not to sway public opinion – but, as Joel 1:14 declares, to “Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”

Beginning March 26th, the United States Supreme Court will hear three days of oral argument on the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Law” cases. Their deliberations will include many of the key components of Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit against ObamaCare.

The President will doubtless rally supporters outside the Supreme Court that day – but I believe that together, you and I will be joined by well over 100,000 believers – faithfully praying for every phase of the Court hearings and the deliberative period leading up to their ruling being released, probably in June.


Soon, I will be passing along specific prayer requests and key issues for which to pray effectively and fervently.

For now, let’s start with the painfully obvious: ObamaCare has now been exposed as being an engine of death for pre-born Americans. And it is destroying our precious freedom of conscience by FORCING participants to pay an “abortion premium”!

The fact that the new HHS “guidelines” require insurance providers to hide the “abortion surcharge” in overall premium payments clearly demonstrates the administration’s intent to deceive pro-moral Americans.


LORD, DELIVER US FROM OBAMACARE!

++Our commitments to pray will be recorded in a unique “Book of Remembrance.”

Our Book of Remembrance is based on the pattern described in Malachi 3:16...


“A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.”
It commemorates the names of those joining a solemn assembly to petition the Lord in a time of great trouble – in fact, a time like this!

Our Book of Remembrance is the roll of a national gathering of Believers, convened on the Internet, covenanting to join in prayer in the Spirit of Joel 1:14.

It will contain the names of multiplied tens of thousands of deeply concerned Christians who will be crying, “Lord, deliver us from ObamaCare!” throughout the period of time leading up to the expected announcement of the Court’s holdings in June.

Our nation desperately needs 100,000 or more prayerful patriots to be included in Liberty Counsel’s Book of Remembrance. More than anything else, Liberty Counsel’s Book of Remembrance is a way for you to play a direct role in STOPPING ObamaCare now and for all time!

++We are totally committed to seeking God’s Hand of deliverance!
In early May 2011, as I entered the courtroom of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals facing the Department of Justice in our case “Liberty University v. Geithner,” I was carrying our Amici Book. If you will remember, the book was filled with over 76,000 names of people who had committed to pray for us that day and throughout this process.


As I’ve shared with you before, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled that the individual mandate is a “tax” under the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA), and thus the court does not have jurisdiction to rule on the merits until the “tax” is paid and a “refund” is sought by a taxpayer.

Thus, according to the appeal court’s logic, the case could not even be brought to the federal courts until the mandate becomes effective in 2014.

This ruling went against every court in America that considered ObamaCare! Every other court found that the mandate is a “penalty,” not a tax, and that the AIA does not apply.

There was never any doubt that the Supreme Court would be the final arbiter of the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Now, as I look back over these events, I CLEARLY see God’s providential Hand guiding the process and answering our prayers! And I expect nothing less than His blessing as the Supreme Court considers ObamaCare’s final disposition.

I know that God’s people were praying that day last May and throughout this long, drawn-out process. Further, I believe the Lord has uniquely prepared Liberty Counsel for this season in our nation’s history. I believe that God is bigger than all of this – and that our Fourth Circuit ruling and the DOJ’s appeal certainly didn’t take Him by surprise!

The Lord has continually honored our work and the prayers of His people. The evidence of that is quite clear!

That’s why I am once again calling upon you, Patriots,
to add YOUR name to the Book of Remembrance and to show your commitment to pray, “Lord, deliver us from ObamaCare!” To indicate your prayer commitment and to receive your free bumper sticker, click here:

http://www.libertyaction.org/346/petition.asp

This legal battle against the government takeover of the American healthcare system is arguably the most historic litigation ever fought in the United States federal judiciary! It is truly worthy of every American Christian’s best prayer effort.

Thank you in advance for your prayer support and continuing partnership with Liberty Counsel. May God richly bless you!

'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'... Anything about Shariah Law

We have a great story below by Alan Foster, regarding this Kagan Dude. This Kagan is sooooo confused. Kagan punishes our great Military because he/she/it (Is it Politically Correct to include the it?) does not agree with "Don't Ax, Don't tell". Then the hypocrite that she is, goes to work for Slick Willie, who shoved 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' down our throats. Haven't these Liberals done enough damage? Carter and Clinton with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), destroying our housing Market. Now Barry Soetero with his Cross Dressers for the Supreme Court. George Costanza, from Seinfeld in Drag, aka "Racist Sotomayor". Now, Barry has Ralph Kramden in Drag, aka Kagan.


By Alan Foster
Elena Kagan, current Solicitor General of The United States and former Dean of the Harvard Law School, exemplifies selective outrage. She knows a lot about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" when it comes to ROTC on the Harvard Campus, but wears official blinders when it comes to Islamic treatment of homosexuals.


When Professor Kagan ascended to the position of Dean of the Law School, Harvard was in a quandary over military recruitment. Long opposed to the military's policy towards openly gay men and women but ever solicitous of the greenbacks offered by the federal government, the school tried to hedge its bets on the Solomon Amendment, passed in 1994, which required the Secretary of Defense to deny federal grants to institutions of higher learning that prohibited or prevented ROTC or military recruitment on campus. And who better to circumvent the law's intent than the serried ranks of lawyers in Cambridge, Massachusetts? They argued that Washington money should still flow because even though the college placement office was barred to recruiters, ROTC courses could be offered by the Harvard Law School Veterans' Association.

Training on campus was still verboten for Harvard ROTC candidates, and they were forced to travel down the road to MIT to fulfill their training obligations. Too clever by half? Some congressmen thought so, and they responded by fortifying the act in 2001 by passing an amendment that denied all funding -- not just to law schools, but to the entire institution that prohibited or prevented recruiting. Although Dean Kagan did not sign a petition along with many of Harvard's Law School faculty opposing the Solomon Amendment, she did join two amicus briefs in that regard, one submitted to the Supreme Court.

In 2006, The Supreme Court upheld the law, and only two schools refused to comply, thus forfeiting federal largesse. Now, these facts are widely known to the legal community and to many in the country at large. What is not so well-known is Dean Kagan's contemporaneous approval of and promotion of a little-known but richly endowed Harvard Law School program called The Islamic Legal Studies Program. What does all this have to do with Elena Kagan and her principled stand on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?" It has a lot to do with honesty, integrity, and Harvard's vaunted advocacy for human rights.

The Harvard Islamic Legal Studies Program was made part of Harvard Law School in 1991 with significant funding from distinctly undemocratic sources, mainly from the Gulf States. The program purports to be a research program "that seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of Islamic law." The program works closely with the Harvard Islamic Finance Project, which became an official part of the Law School in 2003, the same year Professor Kagan was awarded the title of Dean.

But is it strictly a "research program"? A few times a year, the directors of the Finance Program take groups of promising Law School and Harvard Business School students to the Middle East on junkets to learn the intricate and arcane practices of Sharia Compliant Finance. Many of these promising students go on to work for such banks and investment firms as the Kuwait Finance House, HSBC Amanah Bank, and the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. The intertwined programs, it would seem, go far beyond mere "research" projects. Shariah Finance, it should be noted, is the Islamic approach to investing, mortgage lending, and a host of other money-related practices. Along with its prohibitions on interest accrual and trading in commodities such as pork, alcohol, and gambling is an overarching negative view of homosexuality. Negative, that is, to the point of advocating violence against gays.

Whatever dim views one may hold on the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the U.S. Military, the policy pales in comparison to the outright calls to violence enunciated by some of the Islamic world's most prestigious and powerful Shariah advisors.

Case in point: Meet Sheikh Muhammed Taqi Usmani, former appellate court judge in Pakistan, a Deobandi (one of the most extreme Pakistani schools of Islam, associated with the Pakistani Taliban)-trained jurist and chief Shariah advisor to the HSBC Amanah Bank, one of the world's largest and richest banks and one of the sponsors of Harvard's Islamic Finance Project. Among other delightful quotes from Sheikh Usmani:

For a non-Muslim state to have more pomp and glory than a Muslim state itself is an obstacle, therefore to shatter this grandeur is among the greater objectives of jihad (from Islam and Modernism)

Also from Usmani's book: "Killing is to continue until the unbelievers pay jizyah (subjugation tax) after they are humbled or overpowered."

Apparently, these kinds of medieval barbarities did not rise to the level of immorality embodied in the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. At any rate, Dean Kagan never objected to the underlying principles of the program at her law school. Perhaps topics from the program like "Recent Trends and Innovations in Islamic Debt Securities" distracted her from the fundamental discriminatory underpinnings of Sharia Law.

The idea that Harvard Law School would abide such opinions emanating from less well-heeled spokesmen is not even worthy of consideration. Imagine the nation's preeminent law school hosting a program on "white supremacist law and finance." It's all about the money, of course. In addition to the funding of the Islamic Legal Studies Program, other Muslim plutocrats like Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who dropped twenty million dollars into Harvard's coffers a few years ago, have had a tremendous influence on the university and its culture.

If Sheikh Usmani's views on jihad were not repellent enough, keep in mind that homosexuality has been a crime under Shariah Law in his native Pakistan since 1860. According to that country's penal code, enforced by Judge Usmani, Article 377 states:

Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which shall not be less than two years nor more than ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.

And here, the chief Shariah Adviser to the sponsors of Harvard's program writes:

It is the same modernity that has engulfed the whole world in the tornado of nudity and obscenity, and has provided an excuse for fornication, and moreso it has led under thunderclaps to the passage of a bill in the British House of Commons to legalize homosexuality (Islam and Modernism).

Suddenly "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" seems pretty benign.

Not only does the Harvard program feature homophobic and "homicidal" clerics, but even the Harvard Muslim Student Chaplain, Taha Abdul-Basser, who has lectured regularly at the Islamic Finance Project, declared apostasy from Islam a capital (not the finance kind) offense:

Abdul-Basser wrote that there was "great wisdom (hikma) associated with the established and preserved position (capital punishment [for apostates]) and so, even if it makes some uncomfortable in the face of the hegemonic modern human rights discourse, one should not dismiss it out of hand (The Harvard Crimson April 14, 2009).

Dean Kagan's reticence about these programs at her own law school should raise serious questions of integrity, sincerity, forthrightness, and ultimately, honesty.
