"Bush's Judges Already Making Their Mark"
By NANCY BENAC, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - No need to wait until President Bush appoints a Supreme Court justice to see how he will make his mark on the federal judiciary.
But already it is clear that these judges make up a solidly conservative crowd that tends to lean Bush's way on the big issues of the day.
"When the president talks about strict construction, everyone knows what he's talking about."
Overall, in his four-plus years in office, Bush has pushed a Republican-leaning federal judiciary farther to the right with more than 200 appointments to appellate and district courts.
By the end of his second term, Bush could eclipse Presidents Clinton and Reagan in the number of judges selected ....
And leave an ideological imprint on the courts for generations to come.
Since 1968, when Nixon was elected, Republican presidents have appointed 1,040 judges; Democrats have named 625.
The cumulative effect, said political scientist Donald Songer of the University of South Carolina, is that "the last three Republican presidents' nominees control virtually the whole judiciary."
People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group, titled its 2004 study of Bush's judicial appointees "Confirmed Judges, Confirmed Fears."
It concluded that Bush appointees already have moved to limit significantly congressional authority and protection of individual rights.
"For many, many of the nominees in the lower courts, the Bush administration has been decidedly pushing toward judges with a pretty firm right-wing ideology," said Elliot Mincberg, the group's legal director.
Wendy Long, counsel for the conservative Judicial Confirmation Network, said that when it comes to the courts, Bush "gets it" in a way that even his father and Reagan did not.
His nominees "understand the problems with the way the Constitution has been interpreted and will go about fixing that in their own decisions," she said.

And once again ....
Good morning, America ....
And the candid world, as well ....
And for those of you who are just stopping by for the first time ....
Wondering what we are talking about in here ...
Right now ...
Upon reflection ...
I would say ...
That what we are doing in here ....
IS making a "REAL-TIME" demonstration ....
Of exactly how easy it WAS ....
For a relatively small group of determined individuals ....
TO DEFEAT OUR CONSTITUTION HERE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ...
AND THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, AS WELL ...
Without a shot being fired ....
Or the need to "go to war" against OUR America ....
To do that ....
Rather ....
It was accomplished ....
RIGHT OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT, REALLY ....
By the real simple expedient ....
Of simply nullifying it ...
RENDERING ITS PROVIONS NULL AND VOID .....
BY THE AGENCY ....
OF A PEN ....
IN THE HAND ...
OF A MAN .....
THAT GEORGE W. BUSH ....
AND THE REPUBLICAN SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES ....
PUT INTO A FEDERAL JUDGESHIP UP HERE ...
TO DO EXACTLY THAT ....
STRIKE DEAD THE PROVISIONS ....
OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION ....
WHICH USED TO PROVIDE ....
FOR PROTECTION OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS ....
BECAUSE ....
NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY ....
WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS DEMONSTRATING ....
WITH DOCUMENTATION .....
FROM AN ACTUAL SET OF CIVIL RIGHTS PROCEEDINGS ....
IN FEDERAL COURT ...
FOR THE NORTHEN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ...
WHERE A MAN'S LIFE ...
AND LIVELIHOOD ...
AND LIBERTY ...
WERE SIMPLY STRIPPED FROM HIM ...
BY THIS BUSH-APPOINTEE ...
WITH THE BLESSINGS OF THE FEDERAL SECOND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS ABOVE HIM ....
FOR THE "CRIME" ....
OF HAVING INTEGRITY ...
IN A CORRUPT REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED "STATE" ....
AND FOR THE FURTHER "CRIME" ....
OF USING HIS GOD-GIVEN INTELLIGENCE ....
AND HIS EDUCATION ....
AS AN ENGINEER ...
TO QUESTION ....
WHY WE MUST LIVE IN A CORRUPT STATE ...
HERE IN OUR AMERICA ...
WHEN OUR LAWS AND HISTORY AND CONSTITUTIONS ....
WERE INTENDED TO PROTECT US FROM THAT .....
AND FOR USING ....
HIS GOD-GIVEN INTELLIGENCE ....
AND HIS EDUCATION ....
AS AN ENGINEER ...
AND OUR LAWS AND HISTORY AND CONSTITUTIONS ....
TO ATTACK THAT CORRUPTION .....
THIS MAN WAS CRUSHED ....
ALONG WITH THE PROTECTION OF OUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS ....
WHICH HAVE BEEN STRIPPED FROM US ...
BY THIS BUSH-APPOINTEE'S MARCH 31, 2005 DECISION IN THIS MATTER ....
AS IF THEY NEVER EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE ....
WITHOUT ANY FANFARE WHATSOEVER ...
NO MUSS AND FUSS WITH HAVING TO HAVE PUBLIC DISCUSSION ...
AND DEBATE ....
ON WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE A CONSTITUTION ...
OR WHAT ROLE A CONSTITUTION MIGHT PLAY IN OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT ....
NO ...
NONE OF THAT ...
JUST "WRITE IT DEAD" ....
THROUGH THE AGENCY ....
OF A FEDERAL JUDGE'S PEN ....
And that is that ...
Slick ...
VERY SLICK, IN FACT ....
AND CLEAN .....
IF YOU ARE AN ANTI-CONSTITUTIONALIST, OF COURSE ....
And that is the point ...
OF WHAT THIS WENDY LONG ....
COUNSEL FOR THE CONSERVATIVE JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION NETWORK .....
IS TALKING ABOUT ....
WHEN SHE SAYS .....
WHEN IT COMES TO THE COURTS ....
GEORGE W. BUSH "GETS IT" .....
IN A WAY ....
THAT HIS FATHER AND RONALD REAGAN DID NOT ....
AND THAT GEORGE W. BUSH'S JUDGES ....
"UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS ...."
"WITH THE WAY THE CONSTITUTION ...."
"HAS BEEN INTERPRETED ..."
"AND WILL GO ABOUT ..."
"FIXING THAT ..."
"IN THEIR OWN DECISIONS ...."
In this case under discussion in here ....
WHICH IS A REAL CASE ...
Involving real people ....
From up in the State of New York ....
Where REPUBLICAN Governor George Pataki ...
A "BUSH SOLDIER" ....
HOLDS SWAY .......
The "PROBLEM" with the way the United States Constitution has been interpreted ....
IS THAT IS PROVIDES FOR "CHECKS AND BALANCES" ....
ON OUR GOVERNMENT ....
THAT RUB ...
AND CHAFE ....
AND BIND ....
ON THOSE ....
WHO ARE "THE GOVERNMENT" .....
And so ....
In this case ...
WHICH WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION FOR ....
AND HENCE ...
A BASIS TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION ....
BASED ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN OPINION ...
AND EMOTION ....
BUSH-APPOINTEE GARY L. SHARPE ....
"FIXED THAT" .....
SIMPLY BY ALTERING FACTS .....
AND IGNORING THE LAW ....
AND THE CONSTITUTION ...
WITH IMPUNITY ....
SINCE AS A FEDERAL JUDGE ...
HE IS AN "UNTOUCHABLE" .....
And so ....
And I suppose a sub-topic in here ...
Would be ...
The NECESSARY ROLE .....
THAT JUDGES ...
AND LAWYERS ...
AND THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ....
ALL PLAY .....
IN MAINTAINING AND PROMOTING ....
CORRUPT GOVERNMENT .....
HERE IN OUR AMERICA ....
WITH "CORRUPT" MEANING GOVERNMENT .....
FOR THE "BENEFIT" ....
OF A SMALL GROUP ...
AT THE EXPENSE OF THE LARGER GROUP ...
WHO UP HERE ...
ARE SIMPLY CUT OUT OF THE "PROCESS" OF GOVERNMENT ...
BY JUDICIAL DECREE ...
AND BY THREATS ....
AND INTIMIDATION ....
AND COERCION ...
WHICH THE COURTS WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US FROM ....
IN A NON-CORRUPT "STATE" ....
WITH A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT ....
OF, BY AND FOR ....
THE PEOPLE ....
WHICH CONCEPT ...
RUNS COUNTER ...
TO THE IDEOLOGY ....
THAT GEORGE W. BUSH ....
AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ...
HAVE IMPOSED UPON US ...
BY JUDICIAL DECREE ...
UP HERE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ....
And so .....
