Judge Blocks Okla. Sharia Ban: Case Goes To 'Very Foundation Of Our Country'
Post Date: 2010-11-30 11:52:39 by Brian S
0 Comments
A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction against Oklahoma's so-called "Sharia ban," saying the case goes "to the very foundation of our country, our Constitution, and particularly, the Bill of Rights." Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, who presides over a federal court in the western district of Oklahoma, ruled that a CAIR official suing to block the law will likely succeed in his efforts. "Specifically, the Court finds that plaintiff has made a strong showing that State Question 755's amendment's primary effect inhibits religion and that the amendment fosters an excessive government entanglement with religion," she wrote. "While ...

Leap Of Faith?: Tea Party Activists Promote Bogus Religious ‘History’ Of Constitution

Over the past few months, I’ve had several people call or e-mail to ask me if I know anything about a book titled The 5,000 Year Leap. I have to admit that I was not familiar with the tome, so I looked it up. Published in 1981 by a conservative Mormon named W. Cleon Skousen, the book is just a tad unusual. It’s loaded with conspiracy theories and argues that America’s Founding Fathers modeled themselves on the biblical tribes of ancient Israel. Despite its daffy premise, The 5,000 Year Leap has become influential in some circles of the Tea Party. Recently, George Washington University law professor Jeffery Rosen, writing in The New York Times, called Skousen “the ...

I’ve been absolutely appalled listening to the insipidly ‘tame’ individuals willingly trading their freedom for the dubious safety afforded by the dysfunctional TSA and its entire apparatus. Fact: The TSA has neither detected nor prevented a single incidence of terrorism since its inception, despite the inconvenience and discomfiture of millions of traveling Americans. This government has come closer than any number of enemies to subjugating the American people. Our forefathers of only a few generations ago would be appalled at the reach of Washington into our personal affairs and our daily lives. They would not have tolerated it.

Audacity: Ground Zero Mosque Developers Apply for $5M in U.S. Taxpayer Money

The "cultural bridge" appears to be in financial trouble. From the Daily Beast today, we learn that the Ground Zero mosque developers, who still owe more than $200,000 in back taxes, have jumped the funding shark. Evidently, those Saudi millions have failed to come through as planned and the mosque developers have applied for a federal grant to get their “cultural bridge” out of the water. The mosque developers, having at last report only about $20,000 in their bank account, have applied for — stop the presses — five million taxpayer dollars. The grant money, if approved, will come from a special fund set aside for rebuilding the area around the Islamist ...

Ground Zero mosque developers apply for federal grant

The developers behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque have applied for about $5 million in federal grant money set aside for redeveloping downtown Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a new report. The application was submitted as a "community and cultural enhancement" grant, which is a program run by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp. Developer Sharif El-Gamal discussed the grant proposal in recent closed-door meetings, according to The Daily Beast. The revelation that the developers have asked for this grant could reignite outrage about the mosque's proposed location. Read more: ...

FBI Pressuring Google, Facebook To Allow ‘Back Doors’ For Wiretapping

ACLU: Proposed expansion of wiretap powers 'a clear recipe for abuse' FBI Director Robert Mueller traveled to Silicon Valley this week to convince major Internet players to build "back doors" into their software that will allow law enforcement to wiretap data on their networks, says a news report. It's part of an effort to expand the FBI's wiretapping powers to include the latest communications technologies, including social networking sites, voice-over-Internet (VoIP) telephone services and BlackBerries. But privacy and civil rights advocates are raising the alarm about the proposal, saying that the proposed wiretapping tools could just as easily be used by ...

In Rare Public Debate, Justice Scalia Admits To Not Caring About Intentions Behind Laws

One of the most conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court and one of the most liberal ones sparred Friday over capital punishment, the direct election of senators and various other constitutional questions during a rare public debate that highlighted their philosophical differences. Antonin Scalia, 74, the longest-serving current justice, appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan, and Stephen Breyer, 72, appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton, shared the stage in front of a crowd of thousands during a West Texas event organized by Texas Tech University Law School. They particularly clashed on the question of capital punishment. Scalia argued that while there's room for debate ...

Kagan, Thomas Take Part as Top Court Rejects Health-Care Appeal

Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court refused to revive a challenge to President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul, leaving intact a ruling that said a California man and interest group filed their lawsuit prematurely. The case marks the first time the high court has been called upon to act on the health-care law, which is also being challenged by 20 states in two lawsuits. In rejecting the appeal, the justices dropped a hint that all nine of them will take part if they ultimately consider the law’s constitutionality. Two justices whose participation has been the subject of discussion -- Elena Kagan and Clarence Thomas -- both took part in today’s action. Kagan, ...

Lawyers from New Jersey's Constitutional Litigation Clinic are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the invasion of Iraq violated the Constitution. The Constitutional Litigation Clinic - one of six law clinics at Rutgers Law School-Newark - is representing an Iraq war veteran, two mothers whose sons were deployed to Iraq, and the antiwar group New Jersey Peace Action. Their lawsuit, filed in 2008, was dismissed by both U.S. District Court in Newark and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia on procedural grounds. A petition was filed Thursday asking the Supreme Court to hear the case. Lawyers claim President George W. Bush overstepped his ...

Time to Repeal the 17th Amendment

One of the clearest measures of anti-Washington feeling this election year is the attack on a little-remembered, century-old amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Republican candidates in more than a half-dozen states have called for the repeal of the 17th Amendment, which was ratified in 1913 and which provides for the direct election of U.S. senators. Prior to the amendment, senators were designated by state legislatures. "People would be better off if senators, when they deliver their messages to Washington, remember the sovereignty of the states," Mike Lee, who supports repeal, told reporters recently. Mr. Lee is a Republican running for the U.S. Senate from Utah. Proponents ...

Appeals Court Hints At Tossing Part Of Arizona Immigration Law

Arizona's immigration law faced tough scrutiny from a federal appeals panel Monday as the state's governor appeared in person to support the controversial provision on the day before the election in which she's seeking her first full term. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals signaled it was ready to toss out the provision of Arizona's law that criminalizes the failure to carry immigration papers showing lawful residency in the United States. But the three-judge panel didn't tip its hand over which way it was leaning on other provisions of the state law that touched off a national furor when Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed it April 23. The federal government filed a ...

The Supreme Court is passing up an election eve chance to weigh in on campaign finance disclosure rules for groups that raise and spend money independently of candidates. The justices on Monday rejected an appeal from the conservative group SpeechNow.org, which want wants to limit what it has to tell the Federal Election Commission about its activities. The court's action a day before the 2010 midterm elections leaves in place a federal appeals court decision that struck down limits on contributions to SpeechNow and similar independent groups, but upheld disclosure requirements. Outside groups have so far spent more than $264 million, more than four times as much as they did four ...

High Court Turns Down Patriot Act Challenger

(11-01) 07:11 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) -- The Supreme Court is refusing to take up a constitutional challenge to provisions of the Patriot Act from a lawyer who was once wrongly suspected in deadly terrorist bombings in Spain. The justices on Monday turned down an appeal from Brandon Mayfield, the Oregon lawyer who was arrested by federal agents after they mistakenly matched him to a fingerprint from the train bombings in Madrid in 2004. It turned out the fingerprint didn't belong to Mayfield, who got an apology and $2 million from the federal government. But a federal appeals court blocked Mayfield's challenge to the Patriot Act, the post-9/11 law that was used to arrest him. The ...

Monday, November 1, 2010 The divisive issue of illegal immigration will take center stage briefly Monday as the Obama administration returns to court in its effort to overturn Arizona's controversial new immigration law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit will hear Arizona's appeal of a lower-court ruling that blocked the most-contested provisions of the law from taking effect. The law, signed in April by Gov. Jan Brewer (R), empowers police to question people whom they have a "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally. Amid a fierce debate over the measure, the Justice Department sought to overturn the law by taking the rare step of suing ...

Rep. Raul Grijalva should slide to reelection in a district where Democrats greatly outnumber Republicans, but his call for a boycott of his state over a harsh immigration law has made him a target. Reporting from Rio Rico, Ariz. — The contrast between the two candidates couldn't have been starker. On one side of the stage slouched Rep. Raul M. Grijalva, 62, a four-term congressman and local Democratic icon, sporting a bushy moustache and wearing an open-collared shirt that he had changed into an hour earlier but already looked rumpled. On the other end sat Republican nominee Ruth McClung, 28, her yellow jacket matching her sensibly styled blond hair, carefully smiling at the ...

Will the Supreme Court Rescue John Ashcroft Again?

The United States Supreme Court Monday signaled its intent to again rescue former Attorney General John Ashcroft from a civil trial over whether he abused his leading role in the enforcement of Bush-era detention policies toward terror suspects. For the second time in three terms, the justices have accepted a case designed to explore the width and depth of the legal immunity shield for public officials, like Ashcroft, who are sued for money damages based upon their conduct in office. Just 16 months ago, in June 2009, in a case styled Ashcroft v. Iqbal, the justices blocked from trial a civil lawsuit against Ashcroft, FBI director Robert Mueller, and other public officials brought by Jawaid ...

WASHINGTON -- Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware is questioning whether the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion. In a debate at Widener University Law School, O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine. O'Donnell asked where the Constitution calls for the separation of church and state. When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O'Donnell asked: "You're telling me that's in the First ...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal officers who patrol the perimeters of federal courthouses across the country will be reminded that members of the public can shoot pictures and videos in public spaces outside the buildings, according to the terms of the settlement of a lawsuit brought by a photographer who was arrested. The settlement announced Monday was a victory for the First Amendment, the New York Civil Liberties Union said. The deal calls for written notices to be distributed to Federal Protective Service officers to remind them that no general security regulations prohibit photography outside the buildings. Federal buildings including courthouses have faced a steady stream of security ...

U.S. Will Enforce Marijuana Laws, State Vote Aside By ADAM NAGOURNEY LOS ANGELES — The Department of Justice says it intends to prosecute marijuana laws in California aggressively even if state voters approve an initiative on the Nov. 2 ballot to legalize the drug. The announcement by Eric H. Holder Jr., the attorney general, was the latest reminder of how much of the establishment has lined up against the popular initiative: dozens of editorial boards, candidates for office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other public officials. Still, despite this opposition — or perhaps, to some extent, because of it — the measure, Proposition 19, appears to have at least a decent ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Yasir Afifi, a 20-year-old computer salesman and community college student, took his car in for an oil change earlier this month and his mechanic spotted an odd wire hanging from the undercarriage. The wire was attached to a strange magnetic device that puzzled Afifi and the mechanic. They freed it from the car and posted images of it online, asking for help in identifying it. Two days later, FBI agents arrived at Afifi's Santa Clara apartment and demanded the return of their property - a global positioning system tracking device now at the center of a raging legal debate over privacy rights. One federal judge wrote that the widespread use of the device was ...

Leftist Judge Rules ObamaGov Can Force US Citizens to Buy its Products

In a decision that reads more like leftist talking points than a judgment based upon any true and sound legal determination based upon the US Constitution, Clinton appointed “Judge” George C. Steeh has ruled that the commerce clause gives the federal government the “right” to compel any and all citizens whom it wishes and to buy any and all demanded products whether they want them or not. In other words, the Marxist Judge Steeh has ruled that the US Constitution no longer precludes slavery of its citizens. Apparently basing his decision, in large part, upon his own ideology (or that of his masters) rather than any real and true constitutional issue, Steeh gives Congress ...

JACKSON, Miss.

After Oxford attorney Danny Lampley spent about five hours in the county jail Wednesday, Chancery Judge Talmadge Littlejohn let him go free. Lampley, 49, was released so that he could represent another client, the judge said in a later order. Lampley told The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal he respected the judge but wasn't going to back down. "I don't have to say it because I'm an American," Lampley told the ...
