Monday, Mark discussed the difference between a judicial activist and an originalist justice.
You can read Mark’s monologue below, as well.
If a federal appeals court judge is an extremist ideolgue, he should be impeached. If a federal appeals court judge is against basic human rights, he should be impeached. If a federal appeals court judge is beholden to a political movement — whether the right (or left) wing — he should be impeached. If a federal appeals court judge is incapable of adjudicating based on the facts and law presented to him, he should be impeached. If a federal appeals court judge refuses to honor his oath to uphold the Constitution, he should be impeached. I am not aware of any efforts, or even any statement, during Federal Appeals Court Judge Sam Alito’s 15 years on the appellate bench urging his impeachment. And the reason is simple — to paraphrase from Charles Chuckie Schmukie Schumer — Sam Alito is a judge’s judge. And yet, this are among the attacks that have been launched against Judge Alito by radical left senators like Schmuckie and the Cape Cod Orace Ted Kennedy.

Folks, as Mark Levin described earlier, the wolves are going after Samuel Alito now that he has been nominated. A relative of mine was listening to news of Alito’s nomination and heard word of a conflict of interest Alito had concerning Vanguard. My relative, being a Vanguard customer himself, looked it up. His own findings follow the quote:
Samuel A. Alito Jr., 55, is a jurist in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia. Nicknamed “Scalito,” or “little Scalia,” by some lawyers, the federal appeals court judge is a frequent dissenter with a reputation for having one of the sharpest conservative minds in the country.
Educated at Princeton University and Yale Law School, Alito was nominated by President George H.W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in 1990. He had worked for the Justice Department in the Reagan administration and served as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
In 1991, he was the lone dissenter in a 3rd Circuit decision striking down a Pennsylvania law’s requirement that women tell their husbands before having an abortion. Alito also wrote a 1997 ruling that Jersey City officials did not violate the Constitution with a holiday display that included a creche, a menorah and secular symbols of the Christmas season.
Three years ago Alito drew conflict-of-interest accusations after he upheld a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit against the Vanguard Group. Alito had hundreds of thousands of dollars invested with the mutual fund company at the time. He denied doing anything improper but recused himself from further involvement in the case.
– Christopher Lee
The ignorance here? Vanguard is NOT a shareholder-owned mutual fund group ( like TIAA-CREF and unlike almost all others ). It does not have profits that get distributed to either private ( e.g. Fidelity ) or public owners ( e.g. Janus ). Thus, it is hard to see how there is any kind of conflict-of-interest since any advantage inuring to Vanguard gets translated into slighter lower fees for its “clients”, so diluting any conceivable advantage that it is an incredible stretch to call this a conflict.
Folks, file this under “for future reference” in case the Dems pull this one out from under their black hats.
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito Jr.
By Don from Lake Ronkonkoma
Harry Reid is not happy with the SCOTUS pick of Sam Alito Jr.
Alito was not one of the names he recommended. Looks like there will be trouble abrewing.
On Sunday, Senator Reid and other Democrats sought to capitalize on the president’s political vulnerabilities and low poll numbers as he picked a nominee.
“If he wants to divert attention from all of his many problems, he can send us somebody that is going to create a lot of problems,” Mr. Reid said. “I think this time he would be ill advised to do that. But the right wing, the radical right wing, is pushing a lot of his buttons, and he may just go along with them.”
The Democratic National Committee also sent out talking points this morning titled: “Judge ‘Scalito’ Has Long History Of States Rights, Anti-Civil Rights, And Anti-Immigrant Rulings.” More from the DNC’s anti-Italian American talkers: “Alito is often referred to as ‘Judge Scalito’ because of his adherence to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s right-wing judicial philosophy.”
In the words of President Bush….Bring It On!
and Let the Games Begin!
Don from Lake Ronkonkoma
Well, this is proof if I’ve ever seen it! It seem Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is more partisan than the MSM has led us all to believe! Check out this article in NewsMax.com!
NewsMax.com
Inside CoverSunday, Oct. 30, 2005 10:02 a.m. EST
Fitzgerald Indicted 60 Republicans
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is said to be “non-partisan” and “apolitical” - but as U.S. attorney in Chicago, a job he continues to hold as he heads up the Leakgate probe, the targets of his investigations into political corruption have been overwhelmingly Republican.
The media is fond of noting that Fitzgerald, who rocked the Bush administration on Friday with the indictment of Lewis Libby, has indicted two aides to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley - a Democrat.
But reporters seldom note that Fitzgerald’s biggest case prior to Leakgate is his ongoing corruption probe into former Illinois Republican Governor George Ryan, who happens to be on trial right now.
Fitzgerald indicted Ryan on corruption charges in December 2003, the same month he was tapped to probe Leakgate, in an investigation that saw more than 60 indictments of Ryan administration figures and political appointees.
For those keeping score on Mr. Fitzgerald’s political targets, the count currently stands at 60-plus Republicans vs. 2 Democrats - not counting Mr. Libby.
The more details I hear about Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s indictment, the more outraged I become. Check out this article from the WSJ Opinion Journal!
Obstruction for What?
Libby is charged with lying about a crime that wasn’t committed.Saturday, October 29, 2005 12:01 a.m. EDT
Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation took nearly two years, sent a reporter to jail, cost millions of dollars, and preoccupied some of the White House’s senior officials. The fruit it has now borne is the five-count indictment of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the Vice President’s Chief of Staff–not for leaking the name of Valerie Plame to Robert Novak, which started this entire “scandal,” but for contradictions between his testimony and the testimony of two or three reporters about what he told them, when he told them, and what words he used.
Mr. Fitzgerald would not comment yesterday on whether he had evidence for the perjury, obstruction of justice and false statement counts beyond the testimonies of Mr. Libby and three journalists. Instead, he noted that a criminal investigation into a “national security matter” of this sort hinged on “very fine distinctions,” and that any attempt to obscure exactly who told what to whom and when was a serious matter.
If this article written in July 23, 2004 is true, what in the world is the prosecutor doing investigating this case for over 2 years?
CIA officer named prior to column
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMESThe identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame was compromised twice before her name appeared in a news column that triggered a federal illegal-disclosure investigation, U.S. officials say.
Mrs. Plame’s identity as an undercover CIA officer was first disclosed to Russia in the mid-1990s by a Moscow spy, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Friday, Mark spoke about the Lewis “Scooter” Libby indictment.
Strange how only Republicans are indicted for making false statements, isn’t it?
With David Boies and Jay Sekulow. An in depth analysis of the Libby indictment.
I have thought for over a year that the President should be taking the fight to the libs and the world. Along with myself,Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh you can add Victor David Hanson, who turned out this little gem.
For good or evil, George W. Bush will have to cross the Rubicon on judicial nominations, politicized indictments, Iraq, the greater Middle East, and the constant frenzy of the Howard Dean wing of the Democratic party — and now march on his various adversaries as never before. He can choose either to be nicked and slowly bled to death in his second term, or to bare his fangs and like some cornered carnivore start slashing back.
Before Harriet Miers, conservatives pined for a Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, with a Justice Roberts and someone like a Janice Rogers Brown rounding out a battle-hardened and formidable new conservative triad. They relished the idea of a Scalia frying Joe Biden in a televised cross-examination or another articulate black female nominee once again embarrassing a shrill Barbara Boxer — all as relish to brilliantly crafted opinions scaling back the reach of activist judges. That was not quite to be.
But now, with the Miers’ withdrawal, the president might as well go for broke to reclaim his base and redefine his second term as one of principle rather than triangulating politics. So he should call in top Republican senators and the point people of his base — never more needed than now — and get them to agree on the most brilliant, accomplished, and conservative jurist possible. He should then ram the nominee through, in a display to the American people of the principles at stake.

Now get in the fight, call your Congressmen and Senators, tell your friends, give straight facts to a lib, do something to encourage our folks in radio to keep fighting the good fight, just do something to win this thing once and for all.
Thursday, Mark spoke with NY Congressman, Peter King about the CIA leak investigation.
If anyone is indicted (other than Wilson or Plame) all hell is going to break loose! Mark my words! .
Thursday, Mark discussed Miers’ decision to withdrawal.
We conservatives believe in the Constitution and this was for the best.
Mark commented about Karl Rove tonight on NRO’s The Corner
THE CONTINUING INVESTIGATION [Mark R. Levin]
From the New York Times piece: “Karl Rove, President Bush’s senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said.”If this is accurate, and I say if, it bothers me a great deal. To continue to hang this investigation over the president’s top aide seems highly inappropriate to me. If they couldn’t find something on Rove by now, then move on. If they couldn’t find or convince witnesses to contradict Rove by now, then move on. It appears they took another run at his assistant the other day, but may have come up empty. This is clearly disruptive to the president. And at some point you would think this would be relevant to investigators.

Thursday, Mark spoke with our good friend Don from Lake Ronkonkoma about the Miers withdrawal.
Don feels Miers is an extremely courageous woman for putting principle above personal prestige.
By Don from Lake Ronkonkoma
This morning we learned that Harriet Miers performed a courageous service by withdrawing her nomination for consideration to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now the president must renominate a new candidate. Here is a short list of possible names. Hopefully the conservative message has been sounded and received loud and clear.
EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, 57: President George H.W. Bush appointed Clement to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in 1991, and she was elevated to her current post in 2001.
She is a member of the Federalist Society, an influential conservative legal organization. Lawyers who know Clement describe her as a judicial conservative who leans toward the defense in civil cases, and as a no-nonsense judge who is strict about deadlines and insists on professionalism from lawyers.
PRISCILLA OWEN, 50: Owen was confirmed in May for a seat on the 5th Circuit after a drawn-out Senate battle. Democrats argued that Owen let her political beliefs to color her rulings. They were particularly critical of her decisions in abortion cases involving teenagers.
JANICE ROGERS BROWN, 56: Newly confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after a bitter Senate battle and filibuster, Brown is an outspoken black Christian conservative who supports limits on abortion rights and corporate liability.
(Note: Its rumored that she may have pulled her name from consideration, this is speculation only)
J. MICHAEL LUTTIG, 51, has a conservative legal pedigree that includes clerkships for Judge Antonin Scalia, now a Supreme Court justice, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1982-83 and for Chief Justice Warren E. Burger in 1983-84.
Luttig served in the Justice Department during the first Bush administration, where he helped Justices Clarence Thomas and David H. Souter win Senate confirmation. President George H.W. Bush appointed him to the Richmond-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in 1991, when Luttig was 37.
Luttig wrote a dissenting opinion that supported the Bush administration’s position that it could designate and detain “enemy combatants” with little judicial scrutiny.
SAMUEL A. ALITO Jr., 55, is a jurist in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia. Nicknamed “Scalito,” or “little Scalia,” by some lawyers, the federal appeals court judge is a frequent dissenter with a reputation for having one of the sharpest conservative minds in the country.
EDITH HOLLAN JONES 56, sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, and is widely considered to be one of the most ardent and vocal conservatives among the candidates.
She was appointed an appellate court judge by President Ronald Reagan and has written several circuit opinions that have been reversed by the Supreme Court, including one earlier this year involving a death penalty case. She once served as the general counsel of the Texas Republican Party and was an attorney for 11 years in Houston before being appointed to the 5th Circuit.
A strong foe of abortion, Jones has called the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Roe v. Wade an “exercise of raw judicial power.'’ In a 2004 case, she argued that a rare insect could not be protected by the Endangered Species Act because such a move would exceed Congress’s authority to regulate interstate commerce.
EMILO M. GARZA 58, would be the first Hispanic nominated to the high court.
A former Marine captain, President Ronald Reagan nominated him to the U.S. District Court for the Western District in 1988. Three years later, President George H.W. Bush elevated him to the 5th Circuit.
In 1997, Garza sided with the majority in striking down parts of a Louisiana law requiring parents to be notified when a minor seeks an abortion. In his concurring opinion, he expressed doubts about the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. “[I]n the absence of governing constitutional text, I believe that ontological issues such as abortion are more properly decided in the political and legislative arenas,” Garza wrote. “. . . [I]t is unclear to me that the Court itself still believes that abortion is a ‘fundamental right’ under the Fourteenth Amendment.”
That opinion, combined with what one expert said was an undistinguished record, could make his nomination a tough sell.
Other names are on the following website: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1027MiersNext27-ON.html
I am secretly hoping the president nominates J. Michael Luttig whose conservatism, tenure in the Justice Department and age makes him extremely desirable. This will squash the “Bush should nominate a woman to replace O’Connor” rhetoric. Ruth Ginsberg commented that she would not enjoy being the only woman on the court. Luttig’s appointment could push up her retirement sooner.
Don from Lake Ronkonkoma
Here are Mark’s comments on Miers’ withdrawal which he made on NRO’s The Corner.
RALLYING THE BASE [Mark R. Levin]
It’s time for our liberals friends to worry. If the president picks a solid nominee, the base — meaning Republican Party loyalists and conservative activists — will be united, reinvigorated, and ready for battle. At least that’s the indication from my radio audience. And frankly, as an aside, there’s another event that is uniting them, and that’s their growing resentment toward Patrick Fitzgerald. Positive press profiles aside, they increasingly view him as a threat to the presidency, and are not much impressed with all the talk in the media about possible indictments for perjury or false statements over emails or memory lapses.
Here’s Miers’ withdrawal letter. It’s more evidence that she wasn’t right for the position. No mention of her missing judicial philosophy track record. This is a victory for the Constitution, in my opinion. Now I only pray that President Bush makes a better choice this time!
Wednesday, Mark again speculated on the Wilson/Plame investigation.
It’s difficult to read Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. I don’t know if he’s a Lib or a regular American! You might say he’s a “stealth” prosecutor. Bush should nominate him for the Supreme Court!
Tuesday, Mark read a report claiming indictments were going to be handed down Wednesday on on the Wilson/Plame investigation.
We shall see what we shall see!
My, my, Annie is at it again. In her latest Bush/Meirs hit piece Coulter once again demonstrates her elitist attitude. I agree with her opinion that Meirs is the wrong choice, although our reasons differ.
But I want to first address a previous artical, foundHERE in which Miss Coulter insisted that only those who attended Ivy League law schools are qualified to be Supreme Court Justices.
In her previous column she declared, in a manner reminiscent of liberal elitists, that only those brilliant minded individuals who had graduated from Ivy League schools could possess the intellectual willpower to withstand the onslaught of the D.C liberal party circuit because they had already withstood the same onslaught from the best and brightest the libs had to offer (oxymoronic if you ask me) while attending the afore mentioned Ivy League schools. She further proclaims that only Ivy Leaguers who “know” the Devil and his “tricks and tropes” can recognize him and that red staters have never been subjected to evils of liberalism and therefore wouldn’t know it if it bit them on the ass. (My wording, her sentiment)
(more…)
Mark continued his point about Clinton’s corruption with this post on NRO’s The Corner
BILL CLINTON’S PERJURY [Mark R. Levin]
… he helped Monica Lewinsky write a false affidavit denying sexual relations with him; he intended the false affidavit to be used during his deposition, and in fact his lawyer (Bob Bennett) did use (unwittingly) the false affidavit to try to convince the judge overseeing the deposition (Susan Webber Wright) to limit questions to Clinton during the deposition; Clinton himself confirmed the accuracy of the false Lewinsky affidavit during his deposition; and Clinton lied repeatedly during the sworn deposition about his relationship with Lewinsky. There were no problems with bad recollections or unintended omissions. As Judge Wright ruled in her contempt holding against Clinton, Clinton made “intentionally false” statements. Clinton also enlisted others to lie for him. And considering the Jones lawsuit was about sexual harassment, and Jones’s lawyers were trying to establish a practice and pattern of sexual misconduct to win their civil suit, this was no side issue. And yet, Clinton was not indicted. Robert Ray, the last of the independent counsels in the case, settled the case.
Posted at 12:29 PM
Monday, Mark played some clips of Howard Dean accusing Republicans of corruption.
I’ve got your corruption right here, Howard Dean! It’s not the Republcans that are corrupt!

Monday, Mark read some more troubling news about Harriet Miers.
Miers Backed Race, Sex Set-Asides
She Made Diversity A Texas Bar GoalBy Jo Becker and Sylvia Moreno
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, October 22, 2005; A01As president of the State Bar of Texas, Harriet Miers wrote that “our legal community must reflect our population as a whole,” and under her leadership the organization embraced racial and gender set-asides and set numerical targets to achieve that goal.
The Supreme Court nominee’s words and actions from the early 1990s, when she held key leadership positions as president-elect and president of the state bar, provide the first window into her personal views on affirmative action, an area in which the Supreme Court is closely divided and where Miers could tip the court’s balance.

Mark read this brilliant piece!
Plame started this phony scandal. And so far, she’s gotten away with it. What do I mean? Plame has shown herself to be an extremely capable bureaucratic insider. In fact, we know she’s accomplished — she accomplished getting her husband, Joe Wilson, an assignment he desperately wanted: a trip to Niger to investigate a “crazy” report that Saddam Hussein sought yellowcake uranium from Niger (her word, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee, not mine). And she was dogged. She asked not once but twice (the second time in a memo) that her husband get the job. And there’s more. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigation also found that a CIA “analyst’s notes indicate that a meeting was ‘apparently convened by [the former ambassador’s] wife who had the idea to dispatch [him] to use his contacts to sort out the Iraq-Niger issues.”

DeLay Offered Deal Before Indictment
DeLay will likely be booked this week
DeLay’s arraignment is set for Friday before state district Judge Bob Perkins in Travis County, Texas.“Perkins believes that if God was charged with a felony, he would have to go through the booking process, too,” said D’Ann Underwood, court coordinator for the judge.
I wonder if Perkins has a political bias!
Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, has long expressed anti-Semitic and anti-white rhetoric, that mark him as an extremist figure.
Remarks at Shelter for Hurricane Katrina Victims, Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina, 9/12/05:
“I heard from a very reliable source that under that levee there was a 25 foot hole, which suggested that it may have been blown up, so that the water would destroy the black part of town, and where the whites lived, it would be dry.”

12th Annual Pre-Kwanzaa Festival held by Cops Against Police Brutality, Newark, New Jersey, 12/11/04
“The war in Iraq is not your war; that’s Israel’s war… The rudder that is turning America is not your elected officials; it’s that small influential group of neo-conservatives that are using America’s power to destroy the enemies of Israel.”
Folks, you can read the rest of Farrakhan’s remarks on Jewish control of the media, on alleged Jewish control of the slave trade, and the Nation of Islam’s (NOI’s) book enumerating anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, here. What you will discover is the typical Louis Farrakhan party line:
…the Jews just don’t get it, they should give more thought to what they did to make Hitler so mad at them…
For the record, Israel is one of the few countries in the world to welcome their African brothers, in their case the Ethiopians, to their predominantly white country and give them full citizenship and rights. If you look at the images of the Israelis killed in Palestinian, Hizbollah, Hamas and PA (Tanzim) terrorist actions –you will see the faces of old men and women, young Russian teenage girls, babies, as well as soldiers and Ethiopian Jews.
One of the more common claims by African-fascists like Farrkhan and leftist apologists is the claim that Jews were the main holders and traders in African slaves. However, Elikia M’bokolo writes:
The African continent was bled of its human resources via all possible routes. Across the Sahara, through the Red Sea, from the Indian Ocean ports and across the Atlantic. At least ten centuries of slavery was for the benefit of the Muslim countries (from the ninth to the nineteenth).’~ Elikia M’bokolo
Please refer to these two sites for corroborating information:
http://allafrica.com/stories/200509260797.html
http://answering-islam.org.uk/Bailey/real_slave_master.html
In the Middle Ages, when slavery was common in Europe (including enslaved Jews), some Jews did play a minor role as slave traders for white European slaves who had been enslaved in war or due to debts. They were sold mainly to other Europeans and sometimes to the Ottomans, but not to the extent that Farrakhan embellishes.

3. Particular attention will be given to the first woman to have managed a branch office of a major bank.
4. No record of commenting on interest rates, money supply or inflation is required.
5. Preference will be given to the president’s personal banker.
The good news is that the chairmanship of the Fed is not a lifetime appointment.

Republican Revolution?
What on earth has happened to Republicans in Washington? Twenty years ago, we conservatives could only dream of an opportunity like the one our elected representatives are now squandering: a Republican President with majorities in both houses of Congress, and two chances to nominate constitutionalists to the Supreme Court. For reasons we can’t begin to explain, the Republican Party is in the midst of an identity crisis. more
Thursday, Mark read the following article in the Christian Science Monitor about Democrat chances in the 2006 elections.

Mark II points out that the Dem’s seem to be hammering us with the phrase “Culture of Corruption” to describe the Bush Administration. In a rare moment, Chris Matthews, host of Hard Boiled, challenges the use of that phrase by failed NYC Mayoral candidate Mark Green.
Mark Simone also makes a comparison between “The most ethical administration ever” and other presidential administrations that the Dem’s labled as corrupt.
He calls for Harriet Miers to withdraw her nomination.
On NRO The Corner today, Mark posted the following:
SENATOR GRAHAM [Mark R. Levin]
In response to my brilliant piece, “McCain’s Blunder,” Senator Lindsey Graham’s communication’s director writes, in part:
Saw your story and would be interested in how you explain Lindsey Graham’s support for Karen Williams, one of the most conservative judges on the nation’s most conservative appeals court (4th), for SCOTUS? I’ll be happy to send you some articles on this as he name was mentioned quite a bit in the week leading up to the Miers announcement.ME: Well, I’m a big fan of Judge Williams. But this is irrelevant. Whether Graham supports conservative nominees is not the point. He and 6 other Republicans helped create a procedural obstacle to getting them confirmed by raising the bar for confirmation to 60 votes. While it’s true that the constitutional option could be triggered, thereby forcing a vote to change the Senate filibuster rule, it’s another hurdle the president would have to overcome. The overwhelming majority of Republican senators were prepared to take on this battle months ago, but Graham, McCain and others undermined them — and the president. Graham has helped to weaken the president’s appointment powers. And, I might add, he is now outspoken in his support for Harriet Miers.
