Yesterday, 40 Republicans sent a letter to the President asking him to ask for Eric Holder’s resignation. The fact that no Democrats signed the letter shows you how uninterested the current administration is about accountability. The letter, spearheaded by Rep.

Yet another liberal attack on the 14th Amendment: That’s right, S. 909 — aka, the “hate crimes bill” — being pushed through by the Obama Administration as one of its highest legislative priorities would make it a federal crime to commit a violent act against anyone based on race or gender orientation – unless the [...]

Folks, if ever you had any doubt about liberals and their agenda with regards to the law and justice, today’s US Supreme Court decision should put those doubts to rest: The Supreme Court declared Wednesday that executions are too severe a punishment for raping children, despite the “years of long anguish” for victims, in a [...]

In a move that has New Jersey’s murderers, rapists, and child molesters jumping for joy, Democrat Governor Jon Corzine has, with a stroke of his pen, abolished capital punishment in his state. The New Jersey Constitution gives the governor authority to “grant pardons and reprieves in all cases other than impeachment and treason.” New Jersey [...]
