IDs Provided by Accuser in Duke Lacrosse Rape Case Don’t Match Players! (Audio)

by @ 6:33 pm. Filed under Audio, Nuts on Parade

Usual Suspects Well it’s no surprise that more exculpatory evidence has been uncovered in the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case. Sean Hannity broke the latest news on his radio program today. He had on legal experts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Megyn Kendall as guests.

Hannity spoke with the family of Collin Finnerty. They say they have kept silent because they felt it was best, but that they have proof Colin Finerty was never alone that night and they can account for every second. Multiple witnesses are ready to verify this in court. They also have receipts, phone records, Duke access card information and results of a lie detector test. (Personally I don’t put much stock in lie detector tests, but it appears he has more than enough other convincing evidence. And as the accused he really should not “need” any of it. Given the burden of proof is supposed to be on the accuser, not the accused. But of course it’s good for him that he has it.)

Hannity mentioned that a police report shows that the accuser named 3 attackers named Bret, Matt and Adam. She provided the police IDs of these individuals.


The descriptions provided by the accuser do not match any of the indicted players and may not match anyone on the entire team.

And don’t forget the accuser’s claim that one of them had a mustache!

There is so much showing innocence, that the discussion shifted to whether Mike Nifong is acting appropriately as a District Attorney. Kendall mentioned, that the prosecutor’s job is to find justice and not ignore any of the facts. At this point it appears Nifong may have ignored a lot of the facts.

Hannity pointed out that defending this case may cost each family over $1 million.

Christian Private Schools Coming to an End in California

by @ 3:52 pm. Filed under Education, Evangelicals Under Attack

I mentioned the matter of some girls being expelled from a California Christian Private school for immoral sexual behavior (lesbian activity) in a prior post. Now California’s State Supreme Court has shown that the state is devoid of respect of the US Constitution and allowing a lawsuit by the girls’ parents to proceed.

Girls suspected of being lesbians can sue school

The California Supreme Court today allowed two Riverside County girls to sue a Christian high school that expelled them because the principal believed they were lesbians.

The court unanimously denied review of an appeal by the California Lutheran High School Association, which argued that a religious school has the right to exclude gays and lesbians, regardless of California’s anti-discrimination law. Today’s action did not resolve that issue but allowed the suit to proceed toward a possible trial.

The girls, both juniors at the school in the town of Wildomar, were expelled in September. According to their lawsuit, which was filed in December, school principal Gregory Bork said he had learned that the students might be involved in a relationship, and coerced one of them into saying she loved the other one.

In a letter to the girls’ parents, Bork said the students had violated the school’s code of conduct, which prohibits actions “contrary to Christian decency.” The school is owned by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which considers homosexuality sinful.

“Any implementation of the Unruh Act would contradict the stated position of (the school) that homosexuality is immoral,” John McKay, an attorney for the school, wrote in asking the state Supreme Court to halt the lawsuit.

In addition to freedom of religion, he said, the constitutional guarantee of freedom of association trumps any state law that “forces the group to accept members that it does not desire.” He cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2000 ruling that allowed the Boy Scouts to exclude a gay man as a troop leader in New Jersey despite an anti-discrimination law in that state.

As I mentioned in my prior post, this is the beginning of the end of what is currently known as “private schools”, Christian Private Schools in particular. Because various lobbies for sinful activity have set their sights on abolishing Christian private schools and they now have enough Liberals in government to help them possibly make it happen. (So long as Christians don’t take a firm stand against this.) If the CA case proceeds and the plaintiffs are successful, it will mean that Christian private schools in that state will no longer be able to protect their students from immoral influences. And it gets worse! Because once Christian private schools must keep immoral students in the population, those immoral students will be able to decline and do away with all teaching of morality in the school. They will be able to say that any claims made that the gay lifestyle is immoral are “hate speech” and claim it is “discrimination”, although what they call discrimination is true righteousness. Once the morality is gone, these Christian schools will fall apart from within. Next students that don’t wish to hear any Christian teaching at all will claim they too must be admitted or allowed to stay if already there. They will use twisted Godless claims that they have the right to not be discriminated against, because they have no desire to hear Christian teaching and not allowing them in denies them their desired level of quality education. (Quality in terms of state standards, not standards of faith.) Any attempts to segregate the heathens will raise the old “separate but equal” violations of the old Civil Rights movement. But this time it won’t be an issue of the color of skin, but fully an issue of the content of character.

So unless our Liberal leaning US Supreme Court is turned more Conservative, California will no longer have anything like what is currently known as a “Christian Private School”. Christians will need to stand for what they believe in or see the heathens take all establishments (even private ones) that dare mention the faith.

Mark Levin on the Al Qaeda 5! (Audio)

by @ 11:55 am. Filed under Audio, Judiciary, Terrorism and War

Men In Black Cover The US Supreme Court decision to suspend the President’s approved war tribunals for terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay is a terrible setback for American security. But it is a great event for our enemies in Al Qaeda. Mark Levin was able to best sum up things yesterday and appropriately named the justices involved The Al Qaeda 5!

He fully detailed how this was a terrible decision. As a lawyer who has successfully represented cases before the US Supreme Court on numerous occasions, he’s able to explain it all very well. He explained who is covered by the Geneva Convention. And it does not cover terrorists! He fully detailed how The Al Qaeda 5 not only changed US law, but the Geneva Convention as well. He also detailed the previous historical judicial precedent, that has now been broken.

Of course you have to excuse some of his language, but this is a cause for outrage! And only Mark Levin can offer the appropriate level of anger along with the legal facts all at the same time.

New York Division of Human Rights Says No to Christian Skating

by @ 12:31 am. Filed under Evangelicals Under Attack

Dennis at Fire & Hammer has picked up on some insanity, where Liberal New York State officials are attacking an establishment and any involved in advertising for catering to Christians. You’ve got to read this insanity to believe it!

Skate Time 209

If a skating rink decided to have a “gay skate night” would this be discriminatory? What if it decided to have a “feminists skate night?” These would not be considered discriminatory and any politician or government entity that thought these were discriminatory would be committing political suicide by bringing discrimination charges. What if the skating rink wanted to have a “Christian skate time?”

Skate Time 209 in the state of New York advertised Sunday afternoon “Christian Skate Times.” In response the state Division of Human Rights complained that the roller rink was discriminating against and/or discouraging non Christians from skating. The state also charged the newspaper which ran the add for the rink with aiding and abetting.

Here is the related news story. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is on the case, to help fight this madness.

New York State Division of Human Rights web site.

Of course there have been no reports of this government body trying to shut down any Black festivals in New York for discriminating against non-Blacks. And I would not want them to. But it all shows this government body is not really applying its twisted logic at all that would fall under it. They knew they had the power and decided to target an event catering primarily to people of the Christian faith, regardless of the fact nobody was restricted from attending.

It’s an example of how Godless Liberals attack the Christian faith.

No War Trials for War Enemies Held at Guantanamo Bay Prison. Where They are Treated Better Than They Deserve! (Audio)

by @ 4:36 pm. Filed under Audio, Judiciary, Nuts on Parade, Terrorism and War

In one of their worst rulings of all time, the United States Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 decision, that enemy terrorists thugs being held at Gitmo cannot be subjected to war crimes trials ordered by the Commander-in-Chief President George W. Bush. To prevent the Commander in Chief from waging war against the enemy and treat it like something “all 3 branches” of government must be involved in is totally insane. Once the war begins it’s the job of the executive branch alone to determine how to deal with the enemy. I prefer taking no prisoners and giving the enemy what they deserve on the battle field, but taking prisoners is good for information about other enemies. Which is why I have no problem with troops doing what they feel necessary to obtain that information. But just the same, the terrorists in Gitmo get treated very well. More about conditions at Gitmo later. Here’s an MSM report about the ruling.

Supreme Court Blocks Bush, Gitmo War Trials

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, saying in a strong rebuke that the trials were illegal under U.S. and international law.

Bush said there might still be a way to work with Congress to sanction military tribunals for detainees and the American people should know the ruling “won’t cause killers to be put out on the street.”

The court declared 5-3 that the trials for 10 foreign terror suspects violate U.S. law and the Geneva conventions.

The ruling raises major questions about the legal status of the approximately 450 men still being held at the U.S. military prison in Cuba and exactly how, when and where the administration might pursue the charges against them.

The vote was split 5-3, with moderate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joining the court’s liberal members in most of the ruling against the administration. Chief Justice John Roberts, named to the lead the court last September by Bush, was sidelined in the case because as an appeals court judge he had backed the government over Hamdan.

Thursday’s ruling overturned that decision.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a strongly worded dissent from Thursday’s ruling and took the unusual step of reading part of it from the bench – something he had never done before in his 15 years. He said the court’s decision would “sorely hamper the president’s ability to confront and defeat a new and deadly enemy.”

The court’s willingness, Thomas wrote in the dissent, “to second-guess the determination of the political branches that these conspirators must be brought to justice is both unprecedented and dangerous.”

Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito also dissented.

Stevens suggested that the administration would be best off trying Hamdan and others before regular military courts-martial trials.

So we see 3 had their heads on straight (John Roberts would have made 4 if he could have participated), while 5 are total idiots. 5 want to treat the enemy like some “regular military” individuals. They are not “regular”, they are not citizens and the only right they have is to wait for us to kill them or decide otherwise. These are the terrorists that were caught in the mist of a war! These are members of the enemy that was behind 9/11. They should be treated as such and given war trials. And that’s nicer than they deserve.

Now you see why people like Justice Clarence Thomas are good and the Liberals are not. Because the Liberals will give your enemy everything he needs to kill you!

Here’s part of Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent.

Excerpt from SALIM AHMED HAMDAN, PETITIONER v. DONALD H. RUMSFELD, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, ET AL.

JUSTICE SCALIA, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS and JUSTICE ALITO join, dissenting.

On December 30, 2005, Congress enacted the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA). It unambiguously provides that, as of that date, ?no court, justice, or judge? shall have jurisdiction to consider the habeas application of a Guantanamo Bay detainee. Notwithstanding this plain directive, the Court today concludes that, on what it calls the statute’s most natural reading, every ?court, justice, or judge? before whom such a habeas application was pending on December 30 has jurisdiction to hear, consider, and render judgment on it. This conclusion is patently erroneous. And even if it were not, the jurisdiction supposedly retained should, in an exercise of sound equitable discretion, not be exercised.

Here’s part of Justice Clarence Thomas’ dissent. Which I must say really is a home run!

JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE SCALIA joins, and with whom JUSTICE ALITO joins in all but Parts I, II?C?1, and III?B?2, dissenting.

For the reasons set forth in JUSTICE SCALIA?s dissent, it is clear that this Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain petitioner’s claims, see ante, at 1?11. The Court having concluded otherwise, it is appropriate to respond to the Court’s resolution of the merits of petitioner?s claims because its opinion openly flouts our well-established duty to respect the Executive?s judgment in matters of military operations and foreign affairs. The Court?s evident belief that it is qualified to pass on the ?[m]ilitary necessity,? ante, at 48, of the Commander in Chief?s decision to employ a particular form of force against our enemies is so antithetical to our constitutional structure that it simply cannot go unanswered. I respectfully dissent.

I

Our review of petitioner?s claims arises in the context of the President?s wartime exercise of his commander-in-chief authority in conjunction with the complete support of Congress. Accordingly, it is important to take measure of the respective roles the Constitution assigns to the three branches of our Government in the conduct of war.
As I explained in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U. S. 507 (2004), the structural advantages attendant to the Executive Branch?namely, the decisiveness, ??activity, secrecy,and dispatch?? that flow from the Executive?s ??unity,?? id., at 581 (dissenting opinion) (quoting The Federalist No. 70,
p. 472 (J. Cooke ed. 1961) (A. Hamilton))?led the Founders to conclude that the ?President ha[s] primary responsibility?along with the necessary power?to protect the national security and to conduct the Nation?s foreign relations.? 542 U. S., at 580. Consistent with this conclusion, the Constitution vests in the President ?[t]he executive Power,? Art. II, ?1, provides that he ?shall be Commander in Chief? of the Armed Forces, ?2, and places in him the power to recognize foreign governments, ?3. This Court has observed that these provisions confer upon the President broad constitutional authority to protect the Nation?s security in the manner he deems fit. See, e.g., Prize Cases, 2 Black 635, 668 (1863) (?If a war be made by invasion of a foreign nation, the President is not only authorized but bound to resist force by force . . . without waiting for any special legislative authority?); Fleming v. Page, 9 How. 603, 615 (1850) (acknowledging that the President has the authority to ?employ [the Nation's Armed Forces] in the manner he may deem most effectual to harass and conquer and subdue the enemy?).

Yesterday Kirby Wilbur was filling in for Sean Hannity and interviewed Charles ?Cully? Stimson, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Office of Detainee Affairs. The interview covered a lot about Gitmo, the terrorists detained there and their treatment.

Here are some points from the interview, although there are more I don’t list here.

This is an interview worth hearing, especially after today’s ruling.
