It is little known among Americans that in the United States abortion is legal for all nine months of pregnancy. A women can decide to 'terminate' her unborn child for any reason she desires, at any stage in the pregnancy. All with the full consent of the law. Republicans were finally able to pass a common sense ban that prohibited late term abortions. A ban that if the Democrats had controlled any part of congress, or the presidency, would have never allowed to pass. In fact, this partial birth abortion ban, named after the gruesome method the abortion is performed, was voted against by more than half of the Democrats in the senate . Republicans had to control all three houses of congress, the House Of Representatives, the Senate, and the Presidency to have a chance to pass it. Well now that ban has been struck down , twice. The article writes, Louise Melling, director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, said her group was thrilled by the ruling. U.S. District Judg...

I have mentioned before on this blog how liberal the 9th Circuit Court is. How they voted 'Under God' in the pledge of allegiance is unconstitutional, for example. I have also mentioned how that court is the only federal court in the nation that has more judges nominated by Democrats, than by Republicans. Well, for those who would like to see just how deep this liberalism runs, and the impact it has on the people who fall under the 9th Circuit Court, the Center For Individual Freedom has created a report that goes into much more detail. This is such important information precisely in an election year. Since the next president will nominate judges who will be around long after the President leaves office. John Kerry will likely pick judges much more in line with the rulings the 9th Circuit Court makes, and George Bush will pick judges who are much more in line with the other Circuit Courts rulings.

I have discussed a couple times before how liberals use judges to pass their liberal agenda while bypassing the voting booth. It looks as though they are at it again , The ACLU (search) and Planned Parenthood (search) sued Monday to block a Florida ballot measure that would pave the way for a law requiring parents to be told when their minor daughters seek abortions.

Exactly as I predicted , Democrats blocked the other three Judicial Nominees today , U.S. Senate Democrats blocked three more of President Bush's judicial nominees Thursday, raising to 10 the number they have stopped in a battle sure to extend until at least November elections. The Constitutionality of this was brought up again, The U.S. Constitution says the Senate is to give its "advice and consent" on judicial nominees, but Republicans said the president is the one with the power to make such nominations. "We shouldn't rewrite the Constitution to allow senators, especially those of the opposite party, to nominate judges," said Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. McConnell warned Democrats about setting a precedent that "senators of the opposite party get to pick a president's circuit court nominees ... this precedent may well be used when there is a Democrat in office."

Senate Democrats have, for the seventh time now, blocked another appeals court from even coming up for a full vote on the senate floor. There are three things I'd like to bring up relating to this. First, this is completely unprecedented. When Republicans were in the minority they never resorted to this type of obstruction. Neither Republicans nor Democrats in ALL of USA history have ever resorted to a filibuster for an appeals court appointee. Second, this court appointee was slated to go on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, viewed as the nation's most liberal federal appeals court. This is the only Circuit Court of Appeals in the nation that has more Democrat nominees than Republican nominees. It is the court with the highest rate of rulings being overturned. It is the same Appeals Court that ruled "Under God" in the pledge is unconstitutional, which was later overturned by the Supreme Court. Republicans wanted this nominee to bring some balance to that cou...
