Totalitarian Ruling by a Dumbass Judge of the Day.

Honestly, one could spend all day adding names to this one. Here are the first two from CNSNews.com.

Judge Rules Against Michigan's Partial Birth Abortion Ban

Michigan's effort to outlaw partial birth abortion is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Detroit has ruled.

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Page Hood ruled on Monday that Michigan's Legal Birth Definition Act was confusing, vague, and placed an "undue burden" on a woman's right to choose.

"The act does not describe any specific procedure to be banned," Hood wrote. "The act also does not distinguish between induced abortion and pregnancy loss."

The law defined birth -- and the commencing of legal rights -- as the moment when any part of the baby emerges from the birth canal.

The Detroit Free Press says although the ruling was handed down Monday, the parties involved in the lawsuit did not learn about it until Wednesday.

The Michigan Catholic Conference called the ruling a setback for women, unborn children, and for the protection of innocent human life.

"Consequently, the dedicated fight to end heinous partial-birth abortions will continue. It is the sincere hope of the Michigan Catholic Conference that the attorney general will appeal Judge Hood's decision to the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court," said Conference President and CEO Sister Monica Kostielney.

"The Michigan Catholic Conference disagrees with the judge's decision that the Legal Birth Definition Act presents an 'undue burden' and is unconstitutionally vague. We look forward to the Sixth Circuit Court upholding the state law...," Kostielney added.


Judge Rules Pledge of Allegiance Unconstitutional

A federal judge in California Wednesday ruled that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional.

The case was brought by two families represented by Michael Newdow, an atheist whose case before the U.S. Supreme Court was thrown out because it was brought on his daughter's behalf and he did not have custody of her.

In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton said the words "under God" violate the right of school children to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God." According to the Associated Press, Karlton said he was bound by precedent of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of Newdow in 2002.

Conservatives were quick to condemn the ruling."Today's ruling by a federal judge who sits in the 9th Circuit is yet another assault on American principles. The Founding Fathers believed that our Creator gave us certain inalienable rights," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.).

"The Pledge of Allegiance simply reinforces the beliefs that led to the birth of our great nation. It is an oath of our fidelity to our country, and I am disappointed that the court chose to rule against this American treasure," Hastert added.

"This is an extraordinary and blatant display of judicial activism. Judge Lawrence Karlton relied on the activist ruling of the Ninth Circuit which was rendered inoperable by the Supreme Court's ruling on this issue last year," said Kay Daly, president of the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary, in a statement.

"He claims it was precedent, but as an experienced judge, he knows better. Clearly, this is a ruling by a judge who is obviously an activist who legislates from the bench to enact his own agenda," added Daly.

If your children are still in government schools, you are helping to turn them into ignorant, godless, closed-minded, hate-filled fools just like Judge Karlton.

Wait a minute. This may not be a coincidence. Perhaps the plan is to reproduce leftist morons "asexually". Watch your kids carefully for warning signs like the use of the word penumbra.


Dishonorable Mention:

Roberts's testimony alarms conservatives

Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr.'s testimony about the existence of a right to privacy, the importance of respecting precedent, and the need for the Constitution to adapt to changing conditions has alarmed some rank-and-file conservatives, who are filling up Internet message boards with predictions that Roberts may turn out to be a moderate justice.

Many say they believe that Roberts's answers have shown him to be to the left of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, whom President Bush promised to use as models in selecting new justices. Some compare Roberts to David Souter and Anthony Kennedy -- Republican appointees who proved to be moderates who supported abortion rights.

One writer on the conservative FreeRepublic.org site wrote that yesterday's questioning by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware, had ''exposed Roberts" as a moderate.

''Biden gave Roberts every opportunity to even minimally associate himself with Scalia and Thomas, and he ran away from them like he was running from a burning building -- not a good sign," the post said.

I fear this clown will turn out to be a Souter with kids.
