The American Center for Law and Justice is a radical legal organization founded by Pat Robertson to eliminate the separation of church and state. They sent a letter out to their followers today, I'm going to let that letter speak for itself:
(letter below the fold)
It is the moment we have been waiting for - the most significant crossroads in Supreme Court history.
With the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor - President Bush has an historic opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on the Supreme Court of the United States ...
... and on your rights and freedoms as guaranteed by our United States Constitution.
And it is for moments like this that the ACLJ exists ... to help you make your voice heard - opposing the views of left-wing organizations like the ACLU and People For the American Way. To protect men and women of faith in America. To present your views in a manner that will have a lasting impact for you and your family.
So today, we invite you to join us in our nationwide campaign to encourage President Bush as he makes this most important decision in the days to come ... and to ask him to stand his ground ... by signing our Petition to the President for NO CONSENSUS.
He has promised a strong, conservative candidate.
One who values life, liberty, and freedom.
One who will not legislate from the bench to suit his or her own politically or personally-motivated agenda.
One who will respect and uphold our Constitution as written.
And that is what we expect him to deliver.
Our President must stand strong against the political maneuvering of activist groups like People For the American Way, the ACLU, and other organizations. He must reject the call for a "consensus" candidate.
(On its face, the idea of consulting various members of Congress to find an appointment whom all will agree on before the final vote sounds like the "American ideal" ... however, our Constitution gives the President authority to choose whomever he thinks will best fill the position. Congress is then entitled to vote "yes" or "no.")
In this case, "consensus" would mean compromise.
And we cannot stand for that! So today, join the ACLJ as we call on our President to stand firm against the liberal onslaught as he chooses a replacement for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Click here right now to add your name to our Petition to the President for NO CONSENSUS.
Your voice does matter. It will count as the Supreme Court is re-shaped for your future and generations to come. Help the ACLJ fight this important battle for you by joining our nationwide campaign - and invite your friends to join this critical campaign as well.
I will keep you posted during the important days to come. Thank you.
