"Martin Luther King has a granddaughter and I don't think that he (MLK) would believe that giving her free healthcare or a free abortion is going to help her better herself."Boom. No wonder she wasn't invited to the ceremony today.

Government Allowed to Take DNA without Warrant
The Supreme Court today ruled that it is perfectly acceptable for the police to take your DNA without a warrant. Oh my.
In 2009 a man named Alonzo King was taken under arrest and charged with assault, during this arrest the police took a swab and matched his DNA to an unsolved rape. Mr. King was not taken under arrest for the rape, nor was he believed to be involved at the time of the arrest. He was charged, prosecuted, and found guilty of the rape. His attorney's filed an appeal under the fourth amendment of illegal search and seizure.
The court has decided that DNA swabs are no different than taking a photograph and fingerprints. It is only a source of identification. Really? Giving the government bodily fluids is just another source of making an ID?
Scalia joined with the more liberal wing of the court and said this in his dissent:
What is so odd is that it seems that the deciding vote came from Justice Stephen Breyer. Strange bed fellows indeed.
But sadly we have gotten to the point in this country that the government's desires and needs are now over taking our rights. This government was built on the rights of the individual being paramount. That seems to no longer exist.

"The Fourth Amendment forbids searching a person for evidence of a crime when there is no basis for believing the person is guilty of the crime or is in possession of incriminating evidence," Scalia said. "That prohibition is categorical and without exception; it lies at the very heart of the Fourth Amendment."But my favorite has to be:
"I hope that the Maryland officials who read the Court’s opinion do not take it seriously,"Doesn't those on the court understand how this can be abused? Now, it seems pretty obvious that King is indeed a rapist. I have zero sympathy for him, zero. But he isn't really the point. These cases are always about something bigger than person who brought the case. When he was arrested, there doesn't seem to be that there was evidence he was guilty of committing this rape. So why would they have right to take his DNA? The entire point of our justice system is the presumption of innocence. By automatically taking DNA swabs of every person who is arrested we have forgone that presumption and walking towards something that will no longer resemble our justice system.
What is so odd is that it seems that the deciding vote came from Justice Stephen Breyer. Strange bed fellows indeed.

Newt V. John King
I wonder how long he prepared this comeback? He had to know it was coming, and it was no surprise that it was question 1.
I don't think it was out of bounds to ask it, but you have to love Newt's ability to stand the heat.
Here is my view, cheating is a sign of character. There is no way around that. But the truth is that this is old news. He doesn't run from, he doesn't excuse it, and it seems that he has changed his heart and his life. The two people who got hurt the most by his behavior, his children, have let it go and it is time the rest of us do as well. I feel sorry for his second wife. She slept with a married man, broke up a marriage, hurt two children, then acts shocked when he did the same to her. There is such a thing called kharma.

Christopher Coates Testifies - Racial Politics at the DOJ
Christopher Coates, a career attorney at the DoJ, testified today in front of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission today. It did not bode well for the Obama administration or Attorney General Eric Holder. Mr. Coates, formerly with the ACLU, was directed by the Holder justice department to defy the legal request by the commission to testify about his actions in the case of voter intimidation against The New Black Panther Party.
The evidence of the members of NBPP being racist is so clear cut that it doesn't even need to be addressed, the videos of him saying you need to kill "cracker" babies speak for themselves. Not to say that in and of itself makes them guilty of intimidating voters, but it does prove that they are indeed racist against white people.
One of the excuses that I have heard from the likes of Kirsten Powers, an admitted liberal, was that the reason that this case should have been dropped was the fact that no one complained. Well, that excuse has been blown out of the water with the testimony today. The law states that all that is necessary to be guilty is to exhibit behavior that could intimidate voters. Such as someone standing outside a polling place wearing a KKK outfit would more than enough to intimidate black voters from going inside and to perform their constitutional right to vote. A black man standing outside a polling both brandishing a weapon asking white voters how they felt by being ruled by a black man is in no way different. Mr. Coates even used such an example during his opening statement.
Mr. Coates who had been promoted to head that department during the Bush administration has given up that lucrative position due to outright hostility that he has endured since bringing the case against Ike Brown. Once the Obama administration had taken office more and more of his authority was diminished. Although, he was still the manager in charge and therefore would be held responsible for the work performed by the people underneath him. This left him in a position to take a job in South Carolina which was a demotion. Directly involved in the undermining of his authority is Loretta King; an attorney who has been sanctioned and personally fined for her race based behavior. Mr. Coates also confirmed that the statements made at his going away party are accurate. In which he said that he was leaving because the civil rights department no longer was interested in equal justice.
It did not take long for the members that were assigned by the democratic party to come out and say that Mr. Coates was giving this testimony because of a political bias. I saw that on the news in mid afternoon when Mr. Coates testimony ended about noon. I am sure that they will be digging into any political contributions that he has made over the years, such as they did with J. Christian Adams. Who in the past did give to republican candidates, but what was not as widely reported is that he also contributed to democratic candidates as well.
Loretta King has a documented history of viewing her job as only protecting minorities instead of performing the job as equal rights under the law. This is a problem not only for President Obama and AG Holder, but it is a problem for all Americans. While the laws that were put into place almost five decades ago were necessary to protect minority voters, but that is not a reason to believe that only minorities can be discriminated against. The Brown case proves that.
Read his opening statement here.
After you do, I think that you will come to same conclusion that I have come to, Eric Holder and President Obama have some xplain' to do.
If you ever wondered why poll watchers are necessary, here is your answer. If you have the time, get involved in the process to make sure that EVERY American has their constitutional right to vote protected. Because it seems pretty obvious that if you happen to be white, the department of justice won't be.

Mr. Coates even used such an example during his opening statement.
Assume that two members of the KKK, one of which lived in apartment building that was being used as a polling place, showed up at the entrance in KKK uniform and that one of the Klansman was carrying a billystick. Further assume that the two Klansman were yelling racial slurs at the black voters who were a minority of people registered to vote at this polling place, and the Klansman were blocking entrance to the ingress to the polling place. Assume further that a local policeman comes on the scene and determines that the Klansman with the billy club must leave but the other Klansman could stay because he was certified as a poll watcher for a local political party.Mr. Coates also testified that Julie Fernandez, an Obama appointee, made it perfectly clear that the department would not be pursing cases where the defendant was a minority and the disenfranchised voter was white. As what happened with the Ike Brown case. A black man who was found guilty of disenfranchising white voters in Mississippi in a district where whites are the minority of voters. Mr. Coates was the man who brought this case and was the attorney that prosecuted and won it. The democratic party was also found guilty of disenfranishing voters. Mr. Coates also made it perfectly clear that civil rights organizations, such as the NAACP, were very unhappy with the prosecution of Mr. Brown and did not want the case against NBPP to be pursued.

Tea Party Kill The Bill - Rally on March 20
Congressman Steve King is hosting another tea party on Saturday. This is more than likely our last chance to change some minds as the vote is schedule for Sunday.
Speaker Pelosi is not allowing her members to go home over the weekend. Hmm, wonder why?
John Voight, one of the few openly conservative actors, has joined in and extended an invitation through his facebook page:
I am calling to all of you freedom-loving Americans to come once again to Washington D.C. to gather on the Capitol steps on Saturday, at 12 o’clock noon.
We must come by the thousands.
Speaker Pelosi will stop at nothing to fulfill her corrupt conquests. She will bring all of the corrupt ACORN liars to try to bully all the Democrats that may be having pangs of guilt knowing quite surely what their votes can and will do. If they’re bullied into saying “yes,” it will destroy America.
Be there in Washington DC at 12 noon EST so we can give all the Democrats who know what the end result will be the courage to say: “No, do not pass this destructive bill.”
I’ll see you there.

Loretta King Sanctioned Again - Holder's Justice Department Far Left Ideology
Loretta King, a member of Holder's Justice Department, has been sanctioned again. The DOJ attorney has been personally fined for the department's lack of responsiveness to members of congress, among others, to inquiries into the dropping of charges against the New Black Panther Party. This case involves voter intimidation issues on Election Day, when cameras caught members of the New Black Panther Party holding jimmy clubs while standing outside a polling place in Philadelphia during the election of President Obama.
This is at least the second time that Ms. King has been sanctioned by the court. The first case involved "unconstitutional race-based districting". In this case, we the taxpayers, paid more than a half million dollars in fees. The federal court found her team "surprisingly blind to its own impropriety"
Ms. King was also involved in the recent case in Kinston, NC to overrule the voters’ wishes to forgo party affiliation to be listed on all local ballots. The DOJ put its nose into a local matter that was fairly settled by the voters of that community. Apparently, if democrats were not properly identified on the ballots, people of color voting rights were in jeopardy. Another word, people of color are stupid to know who to vote for unless they are able to see the D at the end of the name.
One of the most interesting things in this is the judge who came to this decision, a former counselor for the ACLU; hardly a right-wing ideologue. Members of congress, among others, are pushing the DOJ for the paperwork that show how the decision was made to drop the charges against the panthers. Holder's DOJ has been dragging its heels and refusing to turn over the paperwork, which is by all accounts, not subject to privilege.
Loretta King has a record of using her position in government to promote her far left views, and her own version of racial equality. A version that always falls on the side of the person of color, regardless of the law says. It is time that President Obama and Attorney General Holder put the law first, because this woman obviously does not.
