Jim Inhofe Obama Amnesty Plan Video

In the video below, Senator Jim Inhofe gives a very detailed explanation of Obama's amnesty plan. He also released the following statements today:

Jim Inhofe

From The Inhofe Informant:


As the Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I recently released a report titled “Failure of Leadership: President Obama and the Flawed Federal Response to the BP Disaster.”

This report concluded that President Obama did not provide adequate resources to the citizens located off the Gulf of Mexico in response to the BP disaster. In the report, I listed specific examples of the Obama Administration’s failure to act during the Gulf spill.

It is my continued hope that the residents close to the Gulf of Mexico start receiving adequate resources in order to rebuild from this disaster.

I am disappointed that the liberal majority in the United States Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.

As the first Senator to register my opposition to her nomination to this lifetime position, I remain alarmed with her lack of judicial experience as well as her continued disdain for our nation’s military, her views on civilian trials for terrorists, and her disregard for the second amendment.

After the earthquake that devastated Haiti last January, orphans who were already involved in the adoption process were permitted inside the United States on humanitarian parole while their American families finished the adoption process in the United States courts. Due to unnecessary bureaucratic red tape that the adoptive families of this group of orphans faced, I introduced the Help Haitian Adoptees Immediately to Integrate Act of 2010 (HELP Haiti Act) with U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). With bipartisan support, this bill passed the U.S. Senate before Congress left for August recess. This legislation will provide much needed relief to these adoptive families as it authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to make a one-time adjustment of status to this set of Haitian orphans.

Recently, a public internal memo was released by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials which indicated that President Obama wants to grant amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrations. I find this immensely troubling, and will continue to oppose legislation that allows any form of amnesty to illegal immigrants.

Jeff Sessions: America Will Not Forgive this Senate for Confirming Kagan

Minutes before the vote to confirm Elena Kagan, Senator Jeff Sessions said "The American people will not easily forgive this Senate if we confirm Ms. Kagan to the Supreme Court." Think about waking up on November 3rd, 2010 without the significant change needed to keep another Elena Kagan off the Supreme Court.

Jeff Sessions

Those voting for Kagan wonder what all the fuss is about, and try to ignore the fact that 37 members of the Senate voted against her. Only three additional votes were needed to filibuster, yet five Republicans voted yea for a nominee: who has never been a judge; they knew manipulated abortion facts, and turned them into lies which overturned an abortion ban in Nebraska; who at Harvard refused Military recruiters on the grounds, and welcomed Islamic Shariah financing, which funds terrorism, into the law school along with three Saudi-funded studies of Shariah.

Republican Senators voting for Kagan were Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe (Maine), Lindsey Graham (NC), Dick Lugar (IN), and unbelievably Judd Gregg of New Hampshire. Senator Ben Nelson (NE) is the lone Democrat voting against Elena Kagan.

By modern standards, Justice Kagan's 63 confirmation votes isn't exactly an overwhelming display of support. Of the Supreme Court's nine current justices, 63 ranks fairly low -- Stevens (98), Kennedy (97), Scalia (98), Ginsburg (96), Breyer (87), Roberts (78), Sotomayor (68) had more, while only Thomas (52) and Alito (58) had fewer.

Today we talk about fighting for the America that we know and have known. If Obama is allowed to make another appointment, that America is gone. Justice Anthony Kennedy says he will put-off his retirement until after the 2012 presidential election. Hallelujah for that, but we still cannot assure through this court appointed for a lifetime that the Constitution will guide the way our government works. We must understand that the Supreme Court is the most important issue we face today. Senator Sessions' prediction that this appointment will not be forgiven is insightful.

Elena Kagan and Islamic Shariah Law

The emotions around the appointment of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan are raw. I can hardly bear to write about what our Senate is doing to our country by placing Kagan on the highest bench in the land and for the term of her lifetime. Andrew McCarthy highlights Kagans' acceptance of shariah law and her sheer stupidity in understanding it.

Elena Kagan

 Here's a snippet, speaking of Dean Kagan at Harvard by McCarthy at NRO:

 Real courage at Harvard would have called for condemning the university’s profoundly immoral, gluttonous promotion of sharia. While Kagan was at the law school her patron, Harvard’s president Larry Summers, accepted stunning $20 million donation for the creation of a program of studies to lionize Islam’s history and jurisprudence. The cash came from the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the billionaire investor whose attempted $10 million contribution to the Twin Towers fund had been refused by New York mayor Rudy Giuliani when bin Talal blamed the 9/11 atrocities on American foreign policy. Summers, the anti-Giuliani, not only took the money but named the program and an endowment in the prince’s honor. And why not? By then, as Ben Shapiro reported, Harvard’s law school already had three Saudi-funded institutions devoted to the study of sharia...

Yet there were no condemnations from Dean Kagan over the prince’s lavish gift. To the contrary, she proceeded to forge the law school’s “Islamic Finance Project.” Its purpose is to promote sharia compliance in the U.S. financial sector....

Kagan and other apologists for SCF would absolve themselves from the real-world consequences of their allegedly well-intentioned diversity fetish. But legitimizing any aspect of sharia is the endorsement of all of it. Moreover, there is no cut-and-dried separation of sharia brutality from the tidy, white-collar world of financial transactions. 

The article is long and detailed. Please clink the link above to read.

From The Daily Caller:

Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, told The Daily Caller that Kagan would help advance Sharia law in America out of ignorance. “[Kagan] would knowingly and wittingly abet the advance of Sharia, but she wouldn’t do it understanding anything about Sharia. She would do it out of her ignorance.”

Spencer attributes Kagan’s fondness for Sharia to naïveté and liberalism. “There is a general tendency on the part of political liberals in the United States today to take a benign view of Islam and Islamic law,” he said. “They are generally uninformed and share a hatred of the West and Western civilization.”

According to Spencer, Kagan will be a willing accomplice in the ongoing stealth jihad — or the institution of Sharia into non-Muslim societies via non-violent means, such as the courts and mainstreaming Islamic customs — currently underway against the “The goal of the jihad is to assert the primacy of Islamic law over non-Muslim society and over Muslim societies where it is not fully enforced, and that can take place either through violent or non-violent means and the goal is the same,” he said.

Lindsey Graham Supports Elena Kagan Doctoring Medical Opinions on Partial Birth Abortion

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was the lone Republican vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee to allow Elena Kagan to go forward in her confirmation hearings. Graham said Kagan would not be "his choice," but said he thought Obama "chose wisely." Now, understand that this woman actually convinced a task force of physicians to falsify their own statement which would be used to decide on the legality of partial birth abortions at the Supreme Court. How does Senator Graham think his vote is appropriate?

Elena Kagan

Lindsey Graham 

Because of this falsified statement, credited to a task force referred to as a "select panel" of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's partial-birth abortion ban in 2000.

The falsified statement basically said, in the name of physicians, the partial-birth abortion "may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman," which is not what the physicians said. Kagan replaced a medical judgement with a political agenda.

The ACOG said exactly the opposite. Unborn children have died because Elena Kagan lied:

The task force's initial draft statement did not include the statement that the controversial abortion procedure "might be" the best method "in a particular circumstance." 

Instead, it said that the select ACOG panel "could identify no circumstances under which this procedure...would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman."

ACOG, although said to be apolitical, gave their statement to the Clinton White House, where Elena Kagan lurked:

Miss Kagan, then a deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy, already knew ACOG’s stance as a result of a July 1996 meeting at the White House, at which ACOG representatives told administration officials — according to a Kagan memorandum [PDF] — that “in the vast majority of cases, selection of the partial birth procedure is not necessary to avert serious adverse consequences to a woman’s health.”

Kagan told the White House this statement "would be a disaster:"

Her notes, produced by the White House to the Senate Judiciary Committee, show that she herself drafted the critical language hedging ACOG’s position. On a document [PDF] captioned “Suggested Options” — which she apparently faxed to the legislative director at ACOG — Kagan proposed that ACOG include the following language: “An intact D&X [the medical term for the procedure], however, may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman.

ACOG did exactly as she asked and added her statement, exactly as she wrote it, to their own. The statement went to the Supreme Court and her part in it was not disclosed to the Supreme Court Justices.

Slate writer William Saletan said Kagan was "only doing her job," but he did slam ACOG for so willingly and silently being a White House tool.

In Committee hearings, the note she wrote in her hand was identified by Kagan. She said she was "clarifying a position." How vile does one have to be to change medical science to allow a late term abortion, and how incredibly evil does Congress have to be to put this woman on the Supreme Court?

Justice Anthony Kennedy Preserving Supreme Court of the United States

Today brings some news, for which I am grateful, if it is true. Justice Anthony Kennedy says he will not step down from the Supreme Court until after the 2012 elections, possibly preserving the fabric of America.

Justice Anthony Kennedy

Justice Kennedy, appointed to SCOTUS by President Ronald Reagan, is the swing vote that often, but not always, preserves a conservative voice on the Nation's highest Court. According to the New York Daily News, Kennedy has told family and friends he will stay on the court until after the 2012 presidential election.

From the beginning of Obama's presidential campaign, it was obvious if he was elected, the most dangerous thing about the man (other than breaking us financially) would be his opportunity to load the Supreme Court with radical judges like Sonia Sotomayor, a member of LaRaza, and Elena Kagan who lied to make abortion more palatable to SCOTUS, and thinks the U.S. Constitution is a "living breathing" document, just gasping for a Progressive "fix." Kagan will no doubt be seated. If Kennedy, now 74 years young, doesn't leave the bench during The Time of Obama, we have the opportunity to preserve our Constitution and our Republic. Thank you Justice Kennedy!

Kagan Stalls on Commerce Clause

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) asks Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, if a law saying Americans had to eat three fruits and three vegetables every day is supported by the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution. Coburn's question is analogous to the healthcare law passed, and supposedly made legal by the Commerce Clause. See the video below.

Elena Kagan

Kagan would not answer the real question. She understood that Coburn was asking about healthcare legislation, but said passing a law requiring everyone to eat three fruits and vegetables a day would be a "dumb law."  Her answer? She thinks:

 "courts would be wrong to strike down laws that are senseless just because they are senseless."

Many do not believe the healthcare law will pass Supreme Court scrutiny, because it allows the government to require everyone in the U.S. to buy a produce (health insurance), and if they do not, they will be penalized by the government. In other words, citizens will be penalized for DOING NOTHING.

Elena Kagan Manipulated Medical Science to Fit Abortion Into the Democrat Agenda

Shannen W. Coffin writing at the The National Review OnLine today has a story titled Kagan's Abortion Distortion. Coffin is an attorney in Washington, D.C. He was the deputy assistant attorney general in charge of the defense of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act during the Bush administration.

Partial-birth Abortion - Step 2

PowerLine has the same story, A Smoking Gun in the Kagan Case? here you will find copies of Kagan's communications as she set about to manipulate a Supreme Court decision by participating "in a gigantic scientific deception. Also see a copy of the handwritten note written by Kagan suggesting how to change the truth.

We know that this White House is not above changing the recommendations of "experts," as Ken Salazar and Obama did when they rendered their report saying "experts" recommended a drilling moratorium - when they did not. We got an apology and nothing more. Now it seems Kagan has the same disdain for expert opinions - she is all about Democrat politics, and obviously "not a love of the law," as I've heard over and over today used to describe Elena Kagan.

Teresamerica writes extensively (and eloquently) about abortion and the Rights of the Child. She also refers to the National Review OnLine Report and has a video of an illustration of a partial birth abortion. If you have not seen this, and do not know how partial birth abortions are performed, watch this video at Teresamerica. It's a short film, well-worth your time.

Jeff Sessions Opening Remarks at Kagan Hearing Video

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) listed an astounding number of violations of Federal law committed by Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan. I am at a loss to understand how Democrats will find this woman, who has spent her professional life in activism, with complete disdain for the U.S. Constitution, qualified for this life-time position. The fact that she will end up on the Supreme Court and my children and grandchildren will live with her lack of integrity and contempt for the Rule of Law is heartbreaking. See the video below.

Elena Kagan

Here are a few of Sessions comments (paraphrased):

Kagan has less real legal experience of any nominee in at least 50 years.

Not only has she not been a judge, she has barely practiced law, and not with the intensity and duration that I think real legal understanding occurs.

Kagan has never tried a case before a jury

She argued her first appellate case just 9 months ago. There is no substitute of being in the harness of the law, handling real cases over a period of law.

Kagan has spent her career in policy and politics, mixed with law.

Her college thesis, Socialism in New York, bemoan socialism's demise.

Her Master's thesis noted the activist tendencies of the Earl Warren court - but said it could have done a better job justifying their activism.

Kagan left law for 5 years for politics.

Kagan was central figure in the White House Clinton-Gore effort to restrict gun rights.

She was the point person for the Clinton Administration effort to block Congressional restriction on partial birth abortions - the key person to convince Clinton to change his mind from supporting restrictions to opposing legislation that would ban it.

While at Harvarvd as the Dean, she reversed existing policy, and kicked military out of recruiting offices in violation of federal law. She punished our Military and demeaned our soldiers as they fought in two wars overseas.

Kagan joined 3 other law school Deans to write a letter in response to Senator Grahams legislation to establish procedures to determine who was an enemy combatant in the war on terror. She compared this legislation, which passed 84 to 14 as fundamentally the same as the lawless actions of a dictatorship. Gr

As Solicitor General for 1 year, her short tenure was not without controversy. In her first appellate argument that speech and press guarantees of First Amendment would allow Federal Gov't to ban publications and pamphlets discussing political issues before an election. [Session reminds her of Thomas Paines Common Sense]

As Solicitor General, Kagan approved filing of a brief  to SCOTUS asking that it strike down provisions of the legal Arizona Workers Act which suspends or revokes the businesses licenses of corporations which knowingly hire illegal aliens, even though Federal law expressly prohibits such hiring. She did this even after the liberal 9th Circuit upheld the law.

There is much more. I hope you will listen to the video. If you believe Kagan should be confirmed, please ask yourself why you want a judge who will attempt to change, at least the First and Second Amendments, refuse to define an enemy combatant and abort late-term babies?
