Stop Judicial Tyranny: Jail for Judges!?Educator working on Nobel Peace Prize nomination for McGovern+
Of note in this morning's Argus
LeaderLoser:A Florida professor is trying to get politicians, scholars and others to write letters that will help him with the paperwork to nominate former Sen. George McGovern for the Nobel Peace Prize. "He had always been one of my heroes," Robert Watson, a political science professor at Florida Atlantic University, said of McGovern, a three-term senator from South Dakota who was the Democratic Party's 1972 presidential nominee. "I can't think of a more compelling or deserving public figure for the causes of peace and alleviating world hunger than George McGovern."The article continues with the expression of more such sentiments. The only question that occurs to the Chief is WHAT DID HE ACCOMPLISH? Anything specific at all? Anything except opposing Nixon and the Viet-nam war?
As far as that is concerned, even if the anti-war activism of the day was influential in causing the US to abandon aid to South Viet-nam, thereby enabling the Commie victory (thus ending the war), the "peace" that resulted in South Viet-nam, and even more so, Cambodia, had a greater resemblence to Auschwitz in terms of death than it did to anything most rational people would consider to be true peace....unless...it's just OK for Communists to do this sort of thing, since they're on the political left.
Nobel Peace Prize? The Chief would hope not...but given the state of Euro moonbats these days, it just might fly, especially if they use it as a means of jabbing the current GOP administration as resembling (in their minds) the dreaded Nixon.
Time To DealDon't like how the court ruled? Sue the judge, group says
The Argus's inimitable Dave Kranz notes an effort to impose some real limitation to what is arguably the unchecked power of the judiciary to do any darned thing that a judge decides to, regardless of plain constitutional and legal language to the contrary.
Calling this effort J.A.I.L. (Judicial Accountability Initiative Law), if one is absolutely convinced that they were the victim of arbitrary judicial abuse by a judge, the law would grant the right to appeal to a special grand jury. If the grand jury agreed, then the judge would be liable for lawsuit. The judge could also be found to be guilty of criminal behavior for failing to uphold the law.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITE as well as THIS ONE TOO! The Chief has been reading "Men in Black" by Mark R. Levin lately, and this may not be a bad idea. Check it out for yourself.
When morons are starting to shoot at emergency helicopters, it's time to re-think some current policies. And it sounds like Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco has been doing just that. A DETACHMENT of 300 Arkansas National Guard troops have landed in...
