This ruling isn't surprising to anyone with a lick of common sense. What's surprising is that anyone that lacking in common sense could be a federal judge. This ruling represents two of the biggest reasons why Republicans should be motivated to vote this November: judicial nominees and national security. Don't think that those issues aren't linked. Diggs-Taylor's ruling proves that they are. Based on Amy Klobuchar's statement that she wouldn't have voted to confirm Chief Justice Roberts or Justice Alito, isn't it logical to think that she'd do everything in her power to prevent high quality jurists like Roberts and Alito from getting confirmed? Also considering the fact that Ms. Klobuchar didn't even know who the first secretary of DHS was, what makes us think that she'd have a clue about homeland security issues? Why shouldn't we think that she's nothing more than a puppet for Chuck Schumer and special interest groups like UFPJ?After all, UFPJ is a behind-the-scenes force in the Klobuchar campaign. I just took a little trek over to UFPJ's website to see what they're campaigning about. Here's what I found: Counter Military Recruitment Campaign
As each day goes by, and opposition grows against the Iraq war and other attacks on democracy, more forceful tactics and outright lies will be used by the military to recruit the hearts, minds and bodies of our youth. It is time to participate in counter-recruitment campaigns in order to stop the harvesting of human beings. Please explore our counter-recruitment website, which features regularly updated articles, resources, and other educational information about counter-recruitment activities.
Notice the harsh rhetoric in this 'Campaign': The "harvesting of human beings" must stop. It's obvious that this campaign is about furthering their unstated goal of eliminating militaries. Think I'm kidding? One of UFPJ's stated goals is to eliminate wars, including war with Iran. This campaign essentially amounts to their implicit goal of eliminating militaries and weapons of all sorts. Another of their unstated goals is the unilateral disarmament of Western countries, especially the U.S. People, if you're thinking about casting a 'protest vote' by not voting, you're actually casting a vote for a national 'security' policy written by UFPJ, passed by legislators like Amy Klobuchar and upheld in the courts by the Anna Diggs-Taylors of the judiciary. That 'protest vote' isn't a protest; it's an abdication of responsibility. That isn't something that a self-respecting conservative should tolerate.
