Faith and Justice

It’s a tactic that has become the hallmark of his presidency. President Obama declaring a change in U.S. immigration law. No Congressional action. No court decision. Just another executive decision. This time changing immigration law to permit young people who were brought to this country illegally to stay, rather than face deportation. We should have…

June 15, 1987. I was in Chicago conducting a training program – examining the legal issues – on literature distribution for Jews for Jesus.   Just months earlier, I had delivered oral arguments before the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of Jews for Jesus – arguing that literature distribution at airports was…

It was an extraordinary showdown between one of the most knowledgeable and respected members of the U.S. Senate and the Attorney General of the United States, the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. At a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, U.S. Senator John Cornyn had enough. After months and months of stonewalling, Sen. Cornyn,…

Attorney General Holder was before Congress again today, the second time in a week. This time fielding questions from a Senate committee about Operation Fast & Furious – the Justice Department gun-running program that resulted in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Like his appearance before a House committee last week, today’s testimony…

I told you yesterday about a school in Coney Island, New York where the principal removed Lee Greenwood’s patriotic song, “God Bless the USA” from an upcoming graduation program for kindergarten students. The principal said the song was not “age appropriate” and could end up “offending other cultures.” They replaced that song with Justin Bieber’s…

One school in New York has made a decision that is simply outrageous. Planning is underway for a graduation ceremony June 20th for kindergarten students at one Coney Island school in Brooklyn. School officials are putting together the program. They had planned to play Lee Greenwood’s popular “God Bless the USA” as a conclusion to…

Once again, another hearing on Capitol Hill to get to the bottom of what the Attorney General knew about the botched gun-running program called Operation Fast & Furious. Another opportunity to get to the bottom of what happened. And, unfortunately, another session that resulted in four hours of stonewalling. In an appearance before the House…

Free speech is under attack. Conservative writers are now facing threats against themselves, their families, and their livelihoods merely because they’ve aggressively investigated the history and funding of radical liberals. Ali Akbar is president of the National Bloggers Club, a coalition of 300 conservative bloggers who reach millions of readers, has been targeted by these…

Important new questions are being raised about what Attorney General Holder knew about Operation Fast & Furious – the botched gun-running program in Mexico – guns that ended up in the hands of drug dealers – a flawed program that left a U.S. Border Patrol agent dead in 2010. For months now, Congress has been…

It didn’t take long. Just hours after Planned Parenthood endorsed President Obama and launched an attack ad campaign against GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the White House stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Planned Parenthood and voiced its opposition to legislation in the House – legislation that would have banned sex-selection abortions in the United States. As we now…
