These are the Judges you were told about
Posted by Brian in Uncategorized on April 22, 2009
Barack Obama’s first pick to the federal bench shows abortion radicalism in full-bloom. David Hamilton, Obama’s first appointee to the appellate level, used his position as a federal district judge in Indiana to prevent enforcement of that state’s informed consent law. But that law’s identical language had been upheld by the United States Supreme Court!
Hamilton held up the law for 7 years! Using the raw power of the bench, Hamilton superimposed his personal abortion views on the law, and the legislature, and the women of Indiana; all without actual legal authority. He used quibbling and his position of authority to prevent the Supreme Court’s ruling from having consequence in his district!
The federal appeals court that finally struck down his ruling and 7 years of ‘gaming the system’ issued an official chiding of his actions.
But now Hamilton has been appointed by President Barack Obama to sit on that Appeals bench.
Are You A National Threat?

Obama’s administration thinks pro-lifers are a threat. The recent Department of Homeland Security analysis of threats includes pro-lifers. yes pro-lifers. We are in good company with veterans and others that share affinity for American Values.
People that support killing innocent human life apparently aren’t a threat, unless you are a baby.

Bishop John D’Arcy of Ft. Wayne, IN, whose diocese includes the august institution Notre Dame University, was just informed the President has been invited to be honored there. Read his comments below:
Concerning President Barack Obama speaking at Notre Dame
graduation, receiving honorary law degree
March 24, 2009
On Friday, March 21, Father John Jenkins, CSC, phoned to inform me that President Obama had accepted his invitation to speak to the graduating class at Notre Dame and receive an honorary degree. We spoke shortly before the announcement was made public at the White House press briefing. It was the first time that I had been informed that Notre Dame had issued this invitation.
President Obama has recently reaffirmed, and has now placed in public policy, his long-stated unwillingness to hold human life as sacred. While claiming to separate politics from science, he has in fact separated science from ethics and has brought the American government, for the first time in history, into supporting direct destruction of innocent human life.
This will be the 25th Notre Dame graduation during my time as bishop. After much prayer, I have decided not to attend the graduation. I wish no disrespect to our president, I pray for him and wish him well. I have always revered the Office of the Presidency. But a bishop must teach the Catholic faith “in season and out of season,” and he teaches not only by his words — but by his actions.
My decision is not an attack on anyone, but is in defense of the truth about human life.
I have in mind also the statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops in 2004. “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.” Indeed, the measure of any Catholic institution is not only what it stands for, but also what it will not stand for.
I have spoken with Professor Mary Ann Glendon, who is to receive the Laetare Medal. I have known her for many years and hold her in high esteem. We are both teachers, but in different ways. I have encouraged her to accept this award and take the opportunity such an award gives her to teach.
Even as I continue to ponder in prayer these events, which many have found shocking, so must Notre Dame. Indeed, as a Catholic University, Notre Dame must ask itself, if by this decision it has chosen prestige over truth.
Tomorrow, we celebrate as Catholics the moment when our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, became a child in the womb of his most holy mother. Let us ask Our Lady to intercede for the university named in her honor, that it may recommit itself to the primacy of truth over prestige.
Forced Choice

“Hobson’s choice” is an old slang term for not really giving someone a choice at all. When this administration says it’s “pro-choice,” nothing could be further from the truth. Read more here:
