It's a
firehose today - Focus on the Family is leading an all-stops-pulled charge to fill the courts with social fundamentalist judges - even the language is starting to slip occasionally.
Idly, their term for the so-called "nuclear option" of changing Senate rules is "the Constitutional option." If you hear that floating around, that's what they're talking about.
Anyway, I suspect it may continue like this for a while. FotF in particular is firehosing their membership with articles, screeds, action items, mostly on changing Senate rules on judicial filibusters. There are several I haven't even bothered including, because I could have just kept going and going. So here's a special Tuesday news bulletin with some of the most important articles floating around today:
* An article and a transcript are grouped together (though demarked as A and B) where Scalia talks about the absolute necessities of obedience to government, and the primacy of god in government;
* John Cornyn (R-TX) tries to tie two recent judicial shootings to "blowback" to "judicial tyranny"
* Moscow Times (a paper of American expatriates living in Russia) comments on the Consitution Restoration Act of 2004, which has just been reduced in 2005
* Links to the text of the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005
* James Dobson's Tuesday Focus on the Family primary broadcast - another half hour of his "judicial tyranny" article posted in Monday's news - includes an action item and notes about additional programming coming about this soon;
* Focus on the Family article about "leftist pressure groups" "twisting the truth" to support current judicial filibuster rules, includes an action item;
* NPR radio story about Ohio's extreme anti-marriage law invalidating parts of their domestic violence statutes - they no longer apply to gayfolk and unmarried straight couples;
* Focus on the Family article promoting coalition to change Senate rules, includes an action item;
* Article attacking the ACLU over their court challenge to a proson vocational training programme in Pennsylvania that requires employees to be Christians;
* Focus on the Family complains that California appeals court did not throw out the state Domestic Partnership law, claiming that the anti-marriage-rights law repeals it (without success);
* FotF article on proposed Connecticut Civil Unions bill, includes action item to oppose it;
* FotF article against Alabama law requiring donation disclosure - includes action item against it;
* FotF article about FotF signing letter demanding end to judicial filibusters - includes action item.
