Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver says the Obama/Reid court-stacking strategy has just confirmed "the most radically left- left-wing judge ever confirmed by the Senate."
This judge said the church represents a “substantial
threat to the American rule of law" and says our constitutional rights have
“just about run out."
As I write,
Reid is rushing more radical nominees through the Senate.If you oppose this outrageous plan to radicalize our courts, go here to sign Liberty Counsel's Citizen Declaration opposing the Obama/Reid court-stacking plan -- and see below for Mat's special report on Obama's most radical nominee ever!

P.S. Just hours remain to go on record opposing Obama's radicalization of our courts. Go here and see below.

SPECIAL REPORT ON OBAMA'S MOST RADICAL NOMINEE AND THE EFFORT TO STACK THE COURTS
by Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel
I believe
that Cornelia “Nina” Pillard is likely the most radically left-wing judge ever
confirmed by the Senate. Last week, Pillard was rubber-stamped by the
Democrat-controlled body to a lifetime appointment at the D.C. circuit court,
considered the second highest court in the land and a stepping stone to the
Supreme Court.
+ + Church "substantial threat" to rule of law
+ + Church "substantial threat" to rule of law
Pillard agrees with the President that our
constitutional rights have “just about run out” and that our courts should now
be moving toward a system of international law.
Pillard also argues that, “[The notion that] the
Constitution requires deference to church decisions about who qualifies as a
minister…seems like a real stretch…” and that the Church represents a
“substantial threat to the American rule of law.” Pillard, as you might guess
from her attitude about the Christian faith, is also staunchly
pro-abortion.
Prior to the
Pillard vote, Senator Mitch McConnell critiqued her body of work before the
Senate body. His opinions and concerns about Pillard correspond with many of our
own, which is why I am including an extended portion of Senator McConnell’s
commentary in today’s message...
“Professor Pillard… is not someone who should receive
a lifetime position on the second highest court in the land. She will be
confirmed, however, because of the Democrat Majority’s power grab. [T]he nominee
before us is a liberal ideologue… just the kind of person this administration
was looking for to rubber stamp its most radical legislative and regulatory
proposals on the D.C. circuit court.
Last year, the Supreme Court reinforced a core First
Amendment principle when it ruled unanimously that churches, rather than the
government, could select their own leaders. Every single Justice sided with the
church’s argument in that case… freedom of religion is a bedrock foundation of
our democracy.
Prior to the court’s unanimous decision, [Pillard]
said the position of the church represented a ‘substantial threat to the
American rule of law.’ A ‘substantial threat to the American rule of law’? On a
case the Supreme Court decided 9-0!
Professor Pillard has expressed sympathy with the
idea that the rights of our Constitution – the same Constitution she would be
charged with upholding – have ‘just about run out,’ and that this necessitates a
shift toward international law.
Pillard has said that abortion, essentially without
limits, is necessary to avoid ‘conscription into maternity,’ and that even
common-sense laws many American men and women support serve to
‘enforce…incubation.’
In short, Professor Pillard does not seem like a
person with the mindset or temperament of a judge. She seems like a person with
the attitude and disposition of a left-wing academic, someone who seems to come
to conclusions based on how well they support her own
theories.”
President Obama and the Senate Democrats have
successfully moved the D.C. court of appeals two judges to the left so far, and
they’re not done with packing that important
court.
In “Nina”
Pillard, Barack Obama now has in place an extremist appellate judge who holds
the mirror image of his own views!

Ten Radical Nominees Being Rushed!
As never
before, we expect the courts to become political battlegrounds. Legal attacks
on our core liberties are certain to increase as Barack Obama rapidly stacks the
federal judiciary with his ideological clones like Judge
Pillard.
This is my promise to you: We will persevere and
resist this outrageous “nuclear option” and the President’s court-stacking
strategy!
The Senate has
just a few days remaining in session this year, and reports are that Senate
Majority Leader Reid will utilize as much of this time as possible to get at
least ten of Obama’s radical picks confirmed – starting with his packing of the
D.C. Court of Appeals and several key federal agency leadership
positions.
Here is how
you can help...
++This is an urgent call for America’s
patriots to take action!
Derailing
any of President Obama’s nominees will require a groundswell of protest from
grassroots Americans. We must demand that the Senate hear the voices of all
Americans, not just those they agree with!
That's why
Liberty Counsel has launched a "Citizen Declaration" opposing the Obama/Reid
plan to stack the courts.
We are
calling on our team members to deliver tens of thousands of personal messages to
Congress on this issue in the form of faxes, phone calls and these Citizen
Declarations.
