We are excited about our new strategy to protect parental rights. This new path is in addition to and not instead of our ultimate goal of passing the Parental Rights Amendment.

Let me remind you of the problems we are trying to solve so that you can see how this new strategy fits in.

1. We need to have parental rights as an explicit fundamental right.

Because our rights have been implied and not in the text of the Constitution, judges are starting to chip away at the traditional high level of protection. read on

I have reported earlier that sheriffs in New Mexico are threatening to arrest federal agents if they attempt to enforce unconstitutional federal acts in contravention of state law.

The even better news is that sheriffs in other states are doing the same. Sheriff Brad Rogers of Elkhart County, Indiana has told Food and Drug Administration agents they will be arrested if they go on Amish farmer David Hochstetler’s land. Having falsely alleged that raw, unpasteurized milk sold by Hochstetler had caused several cases of food poisoning, the FDA filed a complaint in federal court to support their attack on the farmer.

I have consumed raw milk for years and can affirm that it is not only safe, but much healthier than pasteurized milk. read on

On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to hear oral arguments on whether Justice Elena Kagan should recuse herself from the ObamaCare lawsuit.

This was no surprise. The Supreme Court is the most isolated and powerful branch of government. Despite the overwhelming evidence indicating that Kagan should recuse herself, the Court has refused to take any action.

Let’s review the facts…

The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) has carefully documented Kagan’s work on behalf of ObamaCare while she served as Obama’s Solicitor General. read on

One of my earliest childhood memories is of my parents talking about Nixon and the Watergate scandal. I remember the newspaper headline: “Nixon Resigns!” President Nixon’s fight against court subpoenas made international news. Yesterday President Obama completely ignored a court subpoena, and the world shrugged. read on

Rutherford Institute Challenges Statute Banning Expressive Activity on Grounds of Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Rutherford Institute has filed a free speech lawsuit in federal court on behalf of a 45-year-old African-American man who was arrested in January 2011 while standing silently in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building wearing a sign voicing his concerns about the government’s disparate treatment of African-Americans and Hispanics. The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of Harold Hodge, challenges the constitutionality of a federal law that makes it unlawful to display any flag, banner or device designed to bring into public notice a party, organization, or movement while on the grounds of the U.S. Supreme Court. In asking that the Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court and the Chief of Police for the District of Columbia be enjoined from enforcing 40 U.S.C. § 6135, Institute attorneys assert that the statute is vague, overbroad and invalid as applied to the kind of peaceful protest engaged in by Hodge. read on

The Supreme Court recently refused to hear a case with important religious freedom implications — Bronx Household of Faith v. Board of Education, City of New York. ADF asked the Supreme Court to reverse the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit’s incredible holding that the New York City Board of Education can allow schools to be rented for meetings encouraging everything from atheism to zodiac watching, but deny use for a worship service. Briefly stated, the court held that school officials can prohibit churches from renting school facilities to hold worship services, as long as they allow churches in for other types of events. read on

An organization which intends “to educate the majority of voters on what their vote truly means to the future of America in the 2012 election” and the significance of the “natural born Citizen” clause has officially been launched.

Article II SuperPac (art2superpac.com) seeks to ensure that Article II of the U.S. Constitution is upheld in all future elections such that all candidates for president and vice president, beginning in 2012, meet the definition of “natural born Citizen.”  The group will not be making political campaign contributions to any candidate. read on

Sheriffs from all over America are being invited to gather on Jan. 30, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada, for what could be the most important meeting “since the Constitutional Convention of 1787,” according to Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) founder Richard Mack.

AFP recently spoke with Mack by cell phone as he zigzagged by car across Florida as a guest speaker for various groups.

As Americans push back with their tea party and occupy movements, screaming at the corruption of big banks and Wall Street, they still have not realized the rudimentary solution right in their own backyards, says CSPOA. read on

I have asked the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court to allow audio and video coverage of the oral arguments made during the court’s consideration of the challenges to the 2010 health care law.

This law is massive in size and scope. Its effect is reverberating throughout America’s economy. The constitutional questions are landmark. Considering how this case can have an effect on the lives of nearly every American, it only seems right that the general public have a right to hear and see the legal arguments in real time, not just the select few who are fortunate enough to get seats in the courtroom. read on
