Cotter Reports: Cars, Quo Warranto, and Obama

As I reported, Leo Donofrio has temporarily made unavailable links to his legal research for a much anticipated reason.

Dianna Cotter  of the Portalnd Civil Rights Examiner reported today that:

Neil Cavuto welcomed former Chrysler dealer James Anderer to his show on Fox Business News Daily to talk about a case that has been filed by a group of dealers who lost their businesses in the Washington D.C. District Court. Lead Plaintiff Anderer mentioned a team of legal experts while describing the case to Cavuto, and an anonymous source has named Leo Donofrio and Steve Pidgeon as having been retained by a group of Chrysler dealers who lost their franchise in the Chrysler bankruptcy sale. They have been retained to bring two actions:

1. A motion to reconsider the Court’s approval of the dealer rejections.
2. A quo warranto in the D.C. District Court pertaining to Obama and his administration.

As we know, the wheels of justice move slow and they will also have the obstacle to overcome of a DOJ & AG that are not without bias. Holder has already shown this bias on several occasions by dismissing cases against Obama’s political thugs  that were all but sewn up and he has yet to even step up to the plate where ACORN is concerned.

Links to Leo Donofrio’s Site Temporarily Unavailable

My apologies to my readers. The links in my articles to Attorney Leo Donofrio’s research site are unavailable at this time. I do know that Phil at the Right Side Of Life has a lot of Leo’s work published at his site and I will also do some scouring of the web to find mirror sites, but I can not make any promises.

The good news is that if you just google the topics that I had linked to Leo for reference, you should be able to find most of the information at the SCOTUS, National Archives, the Avalon Project thru Yale University, US Senate, US House of Representatives or the Federalist Society websites or on my permanent page BHO & the Stubborn Facts that is listed above.

Now you ask, why the temporary inaccessibility of Leo site? Well, the time has finally come to put the legal blogging aside and concentrate on proceeding forward legally as set forth in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers.

To Leo & his team…Best Wishes, God Bless & God Speed, You are all TRUE Unwavering Patriot Warriors forging through that very complex legal battlefield for the preservation of our Republic & our Constitution. Your efforts WILL be recorded in American history for all future generations to look back on, just as we have the Founders to look to for guidance:

Congress has for decades been trying to usurp the original intent of the founding fathers of this great nation, further risking our sovereignty & national security. An agenda that Washington warned about in his farewell address:

If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield…

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government...

Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests…

The United States Constitution as Jusctice Scalia says, is literally dead. It does not breath, therefore we must look to the framers for interpretation and Justice Story  confirmed that theory when he wrote in his Commentaries on the Constitution:  Rules of Interpretation:

 § 210.  XV. In the first place, then, every word employed in the constitution is to be expounded in its plain, obvious, and common sense, unless the context furnishes some ground to control, qualify, or enlarge it.  Constitutions are not designed for metaphysical or logical subtleties, for niceties of expression, for critical propriety, for elaborate shades of meaning, or for the exercise of philosophical acuteness, or juridical research.  They are instruments of a practical nature, founded on the common business of human life, adapted to common wants, designed for common use, and fitted for common understandings.  The people make them; the people adopt them; the people must be supposed to read them, with the help of common sense; and cannot be presumed to admit in them any recondite meaning, or any extraordinary gloss.

Breaking: Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Is Promoting Child Porn in the Classroom– Kevin Jennings and the GLSEN Reading List

I am so glad that the grandchildren are now home schooled, but it still does not totally eliminate the possibility of government intrusion into what content the parents may exclude from the curriculum.
 
This is a MUST read with follow-up calls to all our reps in DC. This rogue administration must be stopped and all the commie czars must be thrown back to the cesspool of corruption from whence they came.
 
Via FirstThings  aka former GatewayPundit:

excerpt:

Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings was the founder, and for many years, Executive Director of an organization called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN started essentially as Jennings’ personal project and grew to become the culmination of his life’s work. And he was chosen by President Obama to be the nation’s Safe Schools Czar primarily becausehe had founded and led GLSEN (scroll for bio).

(snip)

Through GLSEN’s online ordering system, called “GLSEN BookLink,” featured prominently on their Web site, teachers can buy the books to use as required classroom assignments, or students can buy them to read on their own.According to GLSEN’s own press releases from the period during which its recommended reading list was developed, the organization’s three areas of focus were creating “educational resources, public policy agenda, [and] student organizing programs”; in other words, the reading list (chief among its “educational resources”) was of prime importance in GLSEN’s efforts to influence the American educational system.

The list is divided into three main categories: books recommended for grades K-6; books recommended for grades 7-12; and books for teachers. (The books on the list span all genres: fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, even poetry.)

Out of curiosity to see exactly what kind of books Kevin Jennings and his organization think American students should be reading in school, our team chose a handful at random from the over 100 titles on GLSEN’s grades 7-12 list, and began reading through.

What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.

We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.

Continue here  for the complete disgusting breakdown of the Obama appointed & approved Safe Schools Czar’s agenda of what US Children are now to be taught in the classroom.

“God Doesn’t Drive Parked Cars”

I finally received my copy of ‘Going Rogue” and have managed to begin reading it during breaks from my Christmas gift sewing. Then today my Limbaugh letter arrived and I have to say, it was one I couldn’t put down til the end because it was almost totally dedicated to Limbaugh’s interview of Sarah.

At the closing of the interview, Rush asks Sarah about her quote, “God doesn’t drive parked cars”. What a curious quote this was, so to the answer I immediately went. Here is my paraphrase of Sarah’s explanation of the meaning.

You’ve got to get out there if you want try try to effect change. Make the effort, work hard and throughout the day, do what you believe is the right thing to do. Then put it in His hands because in the end, it is He that is in charge. He has got the whole world in His hands and He doesn’t drive parked cars.

Sarah will be at the Sioux Falls Barnes & Nobles this Saturday Sunday. Best wishes to all those planning to attend and drop me a note of your experience if you wish.

Blogging will also continue to be light until after Christmas unless Congress goes overtly rogue during the next 2 weeks.

Merry Christmas & may God’s Grace & Peace be with you during this joyous season.

Krauthammer: Obama In Need of A Psychiatric Evaluation

I don’t normally watch “O’Really”, but was glad I caught this segment from tonight’s episode. Charles really nails it on Obama at approximately 3:57 into the clip, however the entire 5 min segment is well worth watching.

Take A Moment to ‘Thank a Veteran’, Especially Today

eagle patriot 1There is no mystery behind the endurance and the success of American liberty. It is because in every generation, from the Revolutionary period to this very hour, brave Americans have stepped forward and served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States. Every one of them deserves the thanks and the admiration of our entire country.

Military service demands a special kind of sacrifice. The places where you live and serve, the risk you face, the people you deal with every day — all of these are usually decided by someone else. For the time you spend in uniform, the interests of the nation must always come first. And those duties are shared by family members who make many sacrifices of their own, face separation during deployments and sometimes bear extreme and permanent loss.

Military service brings rewards as well. There is the pride of developing one’s character and becoming a leader, serving a cause far greater than any self interest and knowing that our nation’s cause is the hope of the world. Every man and woman who wears America’s uniform is part of a long, unbroken line of achievement and honor. No single military power in history has done greater good, shown greater courage, liberated more people, or upheld higher standards of decency and valor than the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

That is a legacy to be proud of, and those who contributed to it must never be taken for granted.

BREAKING NEWS: 14 Deaths Now Reported at Ft Hood

Fox just broke the news that one of the victims of Hasan’s jihad, that had just returned from Iraq, was pregnant.

Referencing historical archives, I refer you to Supreme Court Justice James Wilson:

The 1st Supreme Court Justice, James Wilson wrote, taught and advocated for natural rights. The rights that are detrimental to all human existance. Wilson was also a main framer of the Declaration and the Constitution. His influence & knowledge was 2nd only to James Madison.

Here is what one of the most prominent, yet forgotten, Framers of our Constitution had to say regarding the right to life:

“Man, fearfully and wonderfully made, is the workmanship of his all perfect Creator, the right to life must always be respected…With constistancy, beautiful and undeviating, human life, from its commencement to its close, is protected by the common law. In the contemplation of law, life begins when the infant is first able to stir in the womb. By law, life is protected not only from immediate destruction, but from every degree of actual violence, and in some cases, from every degree of danger.”

Wilson was very critical of ancient societies for the practices of exposing and killing of unwanted infants.

I am thinking that SCOTUS never even looked to the founders when they decided Roe v Wade. Wilson’s are the very 1st Commentaries on American Law & our Constitution. They were published for the 1st time in 1790 & 1791 respectively. There are 3 volumes, well worth every minute of every American citizens time. Read, study & learn them and teach them to all future generations. Our Republic and Christian heritage depends on teaching these works to all future generations!

Ft Hood Shooter Was a Member of Obama’s Homeland Security Transition Team

 I can forgive tax cheats, but when a person on Obama’s Homeland Security Transition team PLANS and MURDERS innocent military personnel, it clearly tells of the Narcissist in Chief’s lack of any common sense, let alone any logical Homeland Security judgement.

More importantly, it PROVES he does not have the skills or the moral compass to remain as the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces!

Via Freepers via Bob McCarty:

Incredibly, it appears that Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, the alleged shooter in the massacre that resulted in at least 12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood today, served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force between April 2008 and January 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the nation’s 44th president.

Major Hasan’s name appears on the page numbered 29  (page 32 of the pdf) of the document,

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, Associated Press Writer Brett J. Blackledge, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – His name appears on radical Internet postings. A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars. He required counseling as a medical student because of problems with patients.

There are many unknowns about Nidal Malik Hasan, the man authorities say is responsible for the worst mass killing on a U.S. military base. Most of all, his motive. But details of his life and mindset, emerging from official sources and personal acquaintances, are troubling.

For six years before reporting for duty at Fort Hood, Texas, in July, the 39-year-old Army major worked at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center pursuing his career in psychiatry, as an intern, a resident and, last year, a fellow in disaster and preventive psychiatry. He received his medical degree from the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001.

While an intern at Walter Reed, Hasan had some “difficulties” that required counseling and extra supervision, said Dr. Thomas Grieger, who was the training director at the time.
