Tupelo, MS - The United States Supreme Court today ruled that after almost two decades of protracted litigation, pro-life leader Joseph Schiedler and his pro-life demonstrators cannot be held liable under federal racketeering laws. In the case of NOW v. Scheidler, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in an 8-0 decision that the Hobbs Act requires a robbery or extortion component that was not present in the actions of the pro-life demonstrators.

“This case has dragged on for too long, and it is high time the Supreme Court put an end to this baseless harassment of pro-lifers seeking only to exercise their First Amendment rights,” said Stephen Crampton, Chief Counsel for the AFA Center for Law & Policy (CLP), which represents pro-life demonstrators across the country. “Joe Scheidler is to be commended for never giving in to these persistent attempts to silence his message of life and hope to hurting women,” Crampton added.

Brian Fahling, Senior Trial Attorney for the CLP, said: “The cause of protecting the unborn has been rejuvenated since the new Roberts Court convened. This is yet another nail in the coffin of the grisly business of abortion.”

The High Court’s opinion ends the long history of this litigation, and forever bars reinstitution of the nationwide injunction previously entered against Scheidler.

Having not been on the Court when the matter was argued in November, Justice Samuel Alito did not participate in the case.

The Center for Law & Policy is the legal arm of the American Family Association, Inc. located in Tupelo, Mississippi. The Center restricts its practice to First Amendment issues.

A credit union is opening new politically correct offices in D.C. for foreigners and illegal aliens!
What is wrong with this picture?

Interesting how when Americans go to place money in an account of an established financial institution, one has to produce multiple forms of identification such as driving permits, social security numbers, and credit cards.

Withdrawing these funds is an even greater ordeal as, not only does one have to produce the collection of ID’s, one is burdened with the additional responsibility of having to justify why one desires to take repossession of one’s own money. And if one wishes to extract more than an arbitrary limited amount, Big Brother must often be informed that one is doing so.

However, a new credit union is opening in Washington, DC for the purposes of serving the area’s expanding population of illegal aliens. This raises a number of issues and questions.

Foremost, will the individuals utilizing the service and those providing it be subject to the same kind of identification requirements imposed upon actual Americans since it is stated in the story how applicants will be permitted to use foreign identification? Interesting how this will be allowed when American’s have to submit to everything just short of a rectal exam (and it was predicted on “Futurama” that down the road one would be required to have a “colonic map” on file) in the name of homeland security and preventing terrorism, but if one happens to be from one of the protected groups more prone to commit subversion one is granted a waver in these matters.

Secondly, this credit union is being marketed to appeal to Hispanics. Would regulators allow for the establishment of a parallel institution that had no qualms about letting it be known that its founders preferred or only wanted Caucasian money?

Few Americans will have the courage to addresses these issues because of the torrents of criticism that inevitably follow from doing so. However, if valiant patriots do not do so soon, the precious heritage of citizenship will become virtually meaningless in the years to come as leftists conspire to ply their system of double standards where equality before the law will be abolished in favor of a system of racial spoils and set asides compelling all within such a domain to bow as peons of the elite.
