SCAT "SCALITO"

GRAPHIC: Conservative Christians will refuse to look under the outer layer of garments to see that underneath we have yet another wolf in sheep's clothing. Once again Lucy will pull the football away from Charlie Brown, all the while promising "This time for sure!"

Sam Alito is a typical pro-abortion, pro-sodomite FAKE conservative, but the Christian right will again fawn over him like teenaged girls at a Beatles concert. Of course any Christian with the discernment of a jack-o-lantern should know by now that GW Bush would never nominate a legitimate conservative to an important position.

SUPPORTS SPECIAL PRIVILEGES

http://www.covenantnews.com/newswire/archives/015956.html

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/31/AR2005103100180.htmlnt/article/2005/10/31/AR2005103100180.html

{{ In 2004, he ruled in favor of a complaint brought under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act by a boy badly bullied by his classmates who was seeking legal relief but had been rebuffed by a U.S. District Court. }}

A typical case of giving certain classes of people special privileges. Usually it's children, women, or blacks and is done to create sympathy for the victim so unjust special privileges can be passed on their behalf - which are thus DISCRIMINATORY. This one uses the handicapped to tug on our heartstrings. While it's appalling that kids would bully someone who was apparently disabled (and a lot of things are used to claim disability that weren't in the past, so maybe he wasn't even truly disabled after all), they should be dealt with the same way as anyone else. This kind of logic is what leads to protection of sodomites as a privileged class.

{{ He also authored a majority opinion granting federal court review to an African American who could not get state courts to hear his claim of racial bias on the part of a juror in his trial. The case involved a juror who used racial epithets outside the confines of the jury room. }}

I wonder if a white person could ever get a review because of racial bias against him? Oliver North was tried by a jury that was nearly all black. Think any of them ever spoke disparagingly of a white person outside the courtroom?

Bush's New Nominee: Not Always on the Same Page as Scalia

{{ Alito argued passionately with other members of the 3rd Circuit Appeals Court that a disabled woman, Pauline Thomas, should be granted benefits because she had been laid off from her job as an elevator operator and could not find a new job since the position of "elevator operator" had virtually disappeared from the economy. }}

Once again Alito supported creating a special privileged class out of disabled people. This puts someone who supports EQUAL and JUST treatment in the position of looking like they are cold-hearted and against the handicapped (or children, or women, or blacks, or sodomites, or whoever is used).

A couple of years ago my department at work was shut down because the material had become obsolete. I had to take a pay cut and a lower position. Should disabled people be forced to pay me the difference? Why not? If I am supposed to pay them if their job disappears, why shouldn't they pay me when mine disappears?

BTW, he was opposed in this opinion by none other than Antonin Scalia.

NO BURDEN on WOMEN'S ACCESS to ABORTION

{{ Citing previous opinions of O'Connor, Alito wrote that an abortion regulation is unconstitutional only if it imposes an undue burden on a woman's access to the procedure. }}

WHAT? Isn't this guy supposed to be a pro-life hero like Scalia? But he believes a law is unconstitutional if it imposes burden upon a woman's access to an abortion? Wouldn't a BAN on abortions impose a burden upon a woman's access to abortion? Wouldn't ANY restrictions on abortion do so? How about a ban on partial-birth abortions? Would that impose a burden upon a woman's access to abortion? Isn't the idea of being pro-life to try to stop abortion? Not with Alito - stopping abortion would impose an undue burden upon a woman's access to abortion.

Alito is not pro-life, he is not anti-abortion. He is certainly not in favor of preventing women from having abortions. He is being lauded for supporting spousal notification. Had it passed, it would have required wives tell their husbands before they killed the baby that also belonged to him. That doesn't mean he could do anything to prevent it, only that she had to tell him as she was walking out the door.

The Supreme Court (Justice O'Connor in particular) used Alito's opinion to CONFIRM the fact that spousal notification WOULD impose a burden on abortion because it might cause women to reconsider having one. Using this "undue burden" logic actually PREVENTS abortions from even being quelled, much less stopped. ANY action that lessens abortion would be considered as an "undue burden" by the fact that less women might have abortions.

Alito supports the "undue burden" concept, but he believed spousal notification did not present an undue burden. However spousal CONSENT would, as would parental consent, as would ANY restrictions that might cause women to reconsider killing her baby.

JESUS the SNOWMAN

{{ He wrote a majority opinion in ACLU v. Schundler , holding that a city's holiday display that included a creche and menorah did not violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment because it included secular symbols as well, such as Frosty the Snowman. }}

So Frosty the Snowman is constitutional according to Alito, but Jesus Christ alone is not? Read mine and Reed Heustis' comments on this "Lemon Test" philosophy to secularize religion at http://robertsrules.blogspot.com/2005/08/was-roberts-right.html.

In short it determines that religious things are constitutional only if they can be made secular. To support such a thing is to support making God, the Bible, Jesus Christ, prayer, and church secular. That does not protect our constitutional religious liberty - that DILUTES our religious liberty.

BIRDS of a FEATHER?

{{ In 1987, he became the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, where he earned a powerful friend--Michael Chertoff, then his deputy and now the Director of Homeland Security. When Alito was nominated to the appeals court, he pressed for Chertoff to succeed him as U.S. Attorney, helping him to rise above other candidates for the job. }}

Read about Alito's good friend Chertoff at http://bushscoreboard2ndterm.blogspot.com/2005/02/11a-11b-and-11c-homeland-czar-can.html. Chertoff helped cover up the OKC bombing, the WTC basement bombing, the death of Vince Foster, and the 9-11 WTC bombing. He has defended interests of Osama bin-Laden and was the ONLY attorney Bill Clinton didn't fire when he took office (http://bushscorecard.blogspot.com/2005/01/61-bush-tabs-clinton-keeper-for.html).

{{ In 2003, he was accused of conflict of interest after he dismissed a lawsuit against the Vanguard mutual fund. It emerged after the decision that he had a substantial amount invested in Vanguard. He denied any wrongdoing, though he immediately removed himself from the case when the plaintiff requested a new hearing. }}

Protecting his investments?

FREE VULGAR SPEECH and HARRASSMENT

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/050719/19alito.htm

{{ In Saxe v. State College Area School District, Alito, writing for the panel, argued that the school does not have the right to punish students for vulgar language or harassment when it doesn't disrupt the school day. }}

Alito believes vulgar language and harassment should be protected as free speech. I don't think he even requires "Frosty the Snowman" to balance it out like he does with religious expressions.

The bottom line is that Alito has made rulings that favor abortion and sodomite protection and his conservative image is indeed only IMAGE.

MIERS WITHDRAWS! SURPRISE!?

The media reports said:

#Miers' surprise withdrawal stunned Washington on a day when the capital was awaiting news on another front — the possible indictment of senior White House aides in the CIA leak case. #

What was the stunning surprise? World Net Daily and Drudge have been reporting that she was going to quit for over a week.

They will blame this on the just-uncovered pro-choice statements Miers made 12 years ago. But as noted, Farah, Drudge, and others predicted (even guaranteed) her withdrawal long before those comments came to light - so they had nothing to do with the actual reason for her pullout. They will however, make a good, timely EXCUSE to blame it on.

http://www.gopusa.com/news/2005/october/1027_conservatives_miers.shtml

"In July of 1993, Miers gave a speech entitled, 'Women and Courage.' She offered glowing praise for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's ascension to the Supreme Court and Janet Reno's appointment as the first female attorney general," Bauer reported. "Not many conservatives were excited by either fact."

"The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all guarantee the freedom of the individual women's right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion." Miers said.

"Legislating religion or morality we gave up on a long time ago," Miers said.

This whole thing is more orchestrated than professional wrestling. On the *surface*, Miers had far more conservative credentials than Roberts. She had made pro-life statements, she had voted pro-family in issues, she did belong to a conservative church. I had to dig much deeper to get beneath Miers conservative facade than with Roberts. Roberts worked on the landmark Romer pro-queer case. He was wishy-washy on abortion all along. He repudiated God and the Bible at least twice. He was easy to expose as a phony. If either of them might have truly been a conservative deep down inside, it was clearly Miers.

Yet, the conservatives swallowed Roberts hook, line, and sinker. OTOH, it was the conservatives who sunk Miers, despite her more conservative appearing credentials. Why would they fight so hard *against* Miers, but not against Roberts, when Roberts had the most obvious liberal record?

Miers was Bush's Kimba Woods. A sacrificial lamb/goat to pave the way for the nominee they really want passed. Bush will put up an even more obvious liberal, like Gonzales, and the same conservatives who opposed Miers will suddenly go blind and fail to notice his obvious liberal slants.

ROBERTS COURT KILLS FIRST BABY

Not only did the Roberts court (with no recorded dissent) vote to allow this baby to be killed, it did so in violation of the rights of the state of Missouri to regulate its own prisoners, and without regard to security problems in transporting prisoners, despite the recent case where a transported prisoner killed several people when he broke free from his female guard.

Not bad for just one case. Bush supporters should be proud of their accomplishments.

Isn't it odd that liberals won't support executing a guilty criminal, but they support killing an innocent baby, and using our tax dollars to fund it?

Roberts Court Kills First Baby

The U.S. Supreme Court under new Chief Justice John Roberts cleared the way on Monday for a pregnant Missouri prisoner to obtain an abortion, despite objections from state officials.

In a brief order without comment or recorded dissent, the high court rejected Missouri's request to put on hold a federal judge's order requiring that prison authorities transport the inmate to a St. Louis clinic for an abortion.

How Roberts would rule on abortion was a major issue in his confirmation hearings in the Senate. This was the first abortion-related case the court has acted upon since he became chief justice.

Officials said Missouri has a prison policy that female prisoners will be sent out of their institutions for abortions only if the procedure is medically necessary.

They cited Missouri's laws that they said discourage abortions and encourage childbirth. They said any time an inmate is transported outside of a prison it raises possible security issues.

Gov. Matt Blunt expressed disappointment and said the high court's order "is highly offensive to traditional Missouri values and is contrary to state law, which prohibits taxpayer dollars from being spent to facilitate abortions."

MIERS CONVERSION?

Did a liberal convert into a conservative due to a religious experience? Did a normal woman transform into Wonder Woman?

The rod the Bush-bots are using to try and keep Christians and conservatives in line with the nomination of Harriet Miers is that she had a "religious conversion". This is an effective way to sweep her ultra-liberal, feminist, pro-queer record under the table.

I certainly believe such a conversion can happen and can have such far-reaching, life-changing effects. But there are also many false conversions. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven". The question is, is HER conversion valid? In reading her alleged religious conversion, I see no clear salvation testimony, only that the 60 year old spinster developed a "close relationship" with the male organist of a church that appears to hold to works and baptismal regeneration, rather than solely faith in Jesus Christ.

Supposedly her church is pro-life, but so was Bill Clinton's church, so is Ted Kennedy's, and so is the church of virtually every member of the current Supreme Court. Conversely, George W. Bush's church is rather liberal on abortion and sodomy.

Let's look at Meirs' RECENT record, SINCE her supposed conversion.

Conservatives are Not Amused with the Miers’ Nomination
Ned Ryun (former White House writer)
http://www.worldviewweekend.com/secure/cwnetwork/article.php?ArticleID=301
Miers emailed me and told me that the message might offend people of other faiths, i.e., that the message was too Christian. She wanted me to change it. (TG: It was a message on a CHRISTMAS card!)

Miers' firm fined big for cheating investors
Texas law group forced to pay $30 million for vouching for clients in Ponzi scheme
http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46684 October 5, 2005 © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – While Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers presided over a major Texas law firm, it was forced to pay more than $30 million to settle claims it vouched for the reputation of two clients who cheated investors out of millions in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

Miers' brother says he's learning more
By SHEILA FLYNN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apwashington_story.asp?category=1154&slug=Miers%20Brother
DALLAS -- Harriet Miers is so private that three days after her nomination to the Supreme Court, even her brother says he is learning things about his younger sister. Robert Miers, 62, said Wednesday that he has prodded his sister to tell him about her work with President Bush, but the most she will ever say is that she chopped wood with him at his Crawford ranch or jogged with him in Washington. "She says everything is confidential," said Roberts Miers.

Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight
http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/nation/12837040.htm

In 1991, Miers voted in favor of a council resolution reaffirming economic sanctions Dallas had imposed against South Africa, then under a white minority-rule apartheid government. The council adopted the resolution by a 6-2 vote with three absences. At the time, President George H.W. Bush was considering repealing federal economic sanctions against the country."

As she goes through this nomination process, something like that should cheer the liberals and lead to gnashing of teeth among the very conservative social conservative," said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, Miers' alma mater.

Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women. The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."

Voted in 1991 to ratify a resolution urging the Texas State Legislature to observe the Rev. Martin Luther King's birthday as a state holiday. The council unanimously ratified the resolution.

Voted in 1991 to ratify a resolution supporting passage of the federal North American Free Trade Agreement. The council ratified the resolution by a 7-2-2 vote.

Voted in 1991 in favor of a resolution urging Congress to approve a presidential request for "fast track" trade negotiation authority. The resolution passed 5-2-3.

TG: If this is the result of a religious conversion, I'm glad I got a different one than she did.

JUDGE ROBERTS' FIRST CASE!

How about that? The Bible is thrown out and a murderer/rapist is kept alive at taxpayer expense. What a wonderful legacy to begin the Roberts court . They rejected the appeal and let the lower court ruling stand that threw the Bible out of the court one it's finished being used in vain to swear in the litigants.

The photo is of the Ukranian President taking his oath in COMMUNIST country, where the Bible is still allowed in court, unlike America.

Supreme Court Agrees Jury Erred By Basing Decision On Bible ( ABP) --

The nation's highest court has upheld a Colorado court's ruling that said jurors erred when they consulted biblical law to sentence a murderer to death.

On the first day of its 2005-2006 term Oct. 3, the federal Supreme Court declined, without comment, to hear an appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling in the case of convicted murderer and rapist Robert Harlan.

The justices also rejected a Florida case involving church-state issues.

A panel of Colorado's highest court in March invalidated Harlan's death sentence, saying jurors should not have taken biblical recommendations for punishment into account when sentencing.

By declining to hear the case, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Colorado court's decision to stand.

"The judicial system works very hard to emphasize the rarified, solemn and sequestered nature of jury deliberations," read the Colorado court's majority opinion.

"Jurors must deliberate in that atmosphere without the aid or distraction of extraneous texts."

But the minority justices in the 3-2 Colorado decision disagreed.

"The biblical passages the jurors discussed constituted either a part of the jurors' moral and religious precepts or their general knowledge, and thus were relevant to their court-sanctioned moral assessment," they wrote.

Colorado criminal law is unusual in that it requires judges in capital cases to instruct jurors to take into account their own moral convictions in dealing with such sentencing decisions.

According to court papers, one juror testified that she consulted the famous passage in Leviticus 24, in which Hebrew law requires "an eye for an eye."

The decision means that Harlan's sentence will be changed to life without parole. In 1995, he was convicted of raping and murdering a woman near Denver, as well as shooting and paralyzing a woman who was trying to help the victim escape.

BLINDFOLD BEING REMOVED on MIERS

The record is being exposed on Harriet Miers. Just like all of Bush's appointees, she is not conservative at all, no matter what Jay Sekulow peeps or mutters.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46641

Miers' Record Begins to Fill In

Bush pick supported:

International Criminal Court,
homosexual adoptions,
women in combat,
tax hike

The ICC takes away all the constitutional rights of someone who is simply *accused*. No right to sppedy trial, no jury, no evidence, no representation, no appeal, and no presumption of innocence.

Not only was she for women in combat, but she BROKE THE LAW in some cases to allow it. A LAWBREAKER for Supreme Court Justice?

The sodomite agenda and tax hikes are hardly conservative staples, although President Bush is doing his best to change that by naming over a dozen homosexuals to gov't positions. Miers did her part by taking the position that taxpayers should be responsible for paying for AIDS education and patient services.

Miers Backed Gay Civil Rights

By CALVIN WOODWARD ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) -

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers went on record favoring equal civil rights for gays when she ran for Dallas city council, and she said the city had a responsibility to pay for AIDS education and patient services.

Miers answered "Yes" to the survey question, "Do you believe that gay men and lesbians should have the same civil rights as non-gay men and women?"

She said Dallas had a responsibility in AIDS education and treatment and that she favored more money being spent in that area "assuming need and resources. I do consider the AIDS illness as a serious total community problem." She underlined "total." "

HOW GULLIBLE ARE WE?

Charlie Brown has fallen for it again. Lucy promised THIS time she would hold the football still so Charlie could kick it (just like last time). But once again, as Charlie ran to the ball with full-speed, at the last second Lucy pulled the ball away and Charlie went sailing and fell hard on his backside.

We've proven beyond dispute that John Roberts is pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, anti-private property, anti-Bible, and generally as liberal as Ted Kennedy (with tons of documented proof, see http://robertsrules.blogspot.com). Now is there anybody still gullible enough to believe that our New World Order President would actually name a true conservative this time? Here is the record on Harriet Miers:

$UPPORTED LIBERAL DEMOCRAT$:

http://www.covenantnews.com/blog/archives/015261.html

http://www.covenantnews.com/newswire/archives/015260.html

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers gave $1,000 to Democrat Al Gore's unsuccessful presidential bid in 1988.

Miers also gave $1,000 to another prominent Democrat — Lloyd Bentsen, the longtime Texas senator who in 1988 ran for re-election and also was Dukakis' vice presidential choice on the Democratic ticket that year.

Miers contributed $1,000 to the Democratic National Committee Services Corp. in 1988.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46635

President Bush's choice of White House counsel Harriet Miers to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court is receiving praise from both Republicans and Democrats today,

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46632

According to the Drudge Report, former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie admitted today that Miers was a Democrat throughout the 1980s.

That alone should be enough to make any rational conservative Christian reject Miers. Unfortunately, few Christians are rational when it comes to politics. No place else will more Christians be "opposed to themselves" or be "double-minded" than in the political realm.

PRO-GAMBLING

Curiously, like the recently confirmed Judge Roberts, Miss Miers is also a proponent of legalized gambling.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4304826.stm

In 1995, Mr Bush appointed Ms Miers as chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission for a six-year term.

FIRST WOMAN EVERYTHING

http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/20041029.html (2004 Questionairre)

Miers, 60, has a string of firsts on her resume that track her quiet but steady march to the top echelons of power: first woman hired by her law firm in 1972, first woman president of the Dallas Bar Association in 1985, first woman president of the Texas State Bar in 1992, first woman president of her law firm in 1996.

Bush Picks a Feminist to sit on Supreme Court

Miers, who Bush called a trailblazer for women in the legal profession ...

There was a long list of staunchly conservative judges that Democrats were poised to fight, Miers not among them.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4304826.stm

Friends and colleagues describe the single woman as assertive and ambitious, Mr. Bush called her "a pit bull in size six shoes".

Hardly biblical, feminine qualities for a lady. This might not be an issue to some, but God said:

Isa 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

NO PRO-LIFE or PRO-FAMILY PROCLIVITIES

There is no reason at all to believe Miss Meir is pro-life. The fact that she has never been married at age 60 makes me suspect she will not oppose the anti-family agenda of the homosexual lobby.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46635

Operation Rescue has come out in opposition to Miers. "We must reject the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court of the United States," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "President Bush promised that he would appoint strong constitutional constructionist to the Supreme Court in the mold of Thomas and Scalia, but Miers is no Thomas or Scalia. We must be given a nominee that will restore the protections of personhood to the pre-born. If your head was about to be crushed, would you want to trust you life to someone who will not state their position on your murder?"
