Leaders meet to confront activist courts (RW propaganda alert)
I apologise for posting something from WorldNetDaily, but we need to keep informed on what the wingnuts have planned next.

Prominent lawmakers and conservative activists will gather in the nation's capital for a conference to develop plans for combating judicial activism.

Confronting The Judicial War On Faith Conference, planned for April 7-8, will feature speakers Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas; Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.; former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore; former Vatican Ambassador Ray Flynn; former presidential candidate and ambassador Alan Keyes; Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum; and counsel for Terri Schiavo's parents David C. Gibbs.

Organizers see the conference as especially timely with the battle over Terri Schiavo's life, the state court decision voiding California's defense of-marriage law, the uncertain fate of Bush judicial nominees and the pending Supreme Court decision on public display of the Ten Commandments.

"Our purpose is to draw up a plan of action to oppose the liberal judges who are abrogating our most precious human rights – including the right to life," he said. "Out of it will come a coalition of family groups, ministries and churches dedicated to reversing the tide of the past 40 years."

1. The Third Reich became "permanent" on the day it took over the
judicial system in Germany. Learned men were forced to pass judgment according to the directives of the Fuhrer via the Reichstag. The last proverbial nail in the coffin.

2. I thought they had a plan. Weren't the Nazis responsible for shooting
that judge's family? The Repukes and Nazi merge happened years ago. I thought it was very clear what their plan is to eliminate "activists" judges, better known as judges who don't rule in favor of Repukes.

3. What a coincidence! Jim Robinson called out his dogs and their wallets
for the same weekend in DC! The FR 'March for Justice' against a 'tyrannical judiciary' is scheduled for April 7.
here is the thread

5. It's all a matter of framing. They get a lot of press when they
present the judges as threats to America, but I don't see or hear any explanations from the other side as to why we need judges, or why separation of powers is important. At least not in the MSM. That concerns me.

6. So if ONE Judge.....................
changed his mind and said Teri Shiavo's feeding tube should be re-inserted, THAT Judge would NOT be deemed as activist to these cretins. THAT Judge would be upholding the law of god, who we ALL know, trumps any law of man, correct? :eyes:
If there is/was a god, he's washed his hands of this of this fucking insane planet.
