U.S. CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS: "I THINK THE PROCESS IS BROKEN DOWN,"

There is comfort in Robert's speaking out. It's going to take incredibly brave men to speak out in the age of Obama. America is doing it and is summarily ignored. You can ignore some of the peope some of the time, but you cannot ignore all of the people all of the time and not expect a ....backlash.

Roberts: Scene at State of the Union 'Very Troubling' AOL news

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (March 9) -- U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday the scene at President Barack Obama's first State of the Union address was "very troubling" and that the annual speech to Congress has "degenerated into a political pep rally."

Responding to a University of Alabama law student's question about the Senate's method of confirming justices, Roberts said senators improperly try to make political points by asking questions they know nominees can't answer because of judicial ethics rules.

"I think the process is broken down," he said.

Obama chided the court for its campaign finance decision during the January address, with six of the court's nine justices seated before him in their black robes.

Roberts said he wonders whether justices should attend the address.

"To the extent the State of the Union has degenerated into a political pep rally, I'm not sure why we're there," said Roberts, a Republican nominee who joined the court in 2005.

Roberts said anyone is free to criticize the court and that some have an obligation to do so because of their positions.

"So I have no problems with that," he said. "On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court - according the requirements of protocol - has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."

Breaking from tradition, Obama used the speech to criticize the court's decision that allows corporations and unions to freely spend money to run political ads for or against specific candidates.

"With all due deference to the separation of powers, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said.

Justice Samuel Alito was the only justice to respond at the time, shaking his head and appearing to mouth the words "not true" as Obama continued.


In response to Roberts' remarks Tuesday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs focused on the court's decision and not the chief justice's point about the time and place for criticism of the court.

"What is troubling is that this decision opened the floodgates for corporations and special interests to pour money into elections - drowning out the voices of average Americans," Gibbs said. "The president has long been committed to reducing the undue influence of special interests and their lobbyists over government. That is why he spoke out to condemn the decision and is working with Congress on a legislative response."

Justice Antonin Scalia once said he no longer goes to the annual speech because the justices "sit there like bumps on a log" in an otherwise highly partisan atmosphere.

THE RABBI OF MALMÖ SWEDEN: ONE HEARS HEIL HITLER AND 'F'ING JEW ALL THE TIME NOW.......

And the world abets. Shame on anyone that shills for jihad. Chrstians! Jews! You are on your own. If anyone is fantasising that the international community, driven in large part by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, is going to do anything but usher in the universal caliphate,your brain is fried.

THE RABBI OF MALMÖ SWEDEN: ONE HEARS HEIL HITLER AND 'F'ING JEW ALL THE TIME NOW.......Tundra

Forget about the mythical unicorn of "Islamophobia", with more Muslims wanting to pour into Europe than ever before, the Organization of the Islamic Conference's habitual "cry of wolf", is falling on deaf ears. Jewish communities are being pressured in every quarter of Europe, save Finland, with Jews heading for greener pastures elsewhere as politicians choose to be more attentive their larger Muslim constituency, at the expense of their smaller Jewish communities. That's the reality of it. KGS

From the Sweden Israel and the Jews blog:

Recently the hate crimes in Malmö and Skåne County have come under increased surveillance as the numbers have doubled since last year. According to the Swedish daily newspaper Expressen, “During the year of 2009, 270 hate crimes were reported in Skåne County and about 25 percent of these were aimed towards Jews.”
One of those exposed to anti-Semitic hate crime is Rabbi Shneur Kesselman of the Malmö Jewish community. He states in an interview with Expressen on March 5th that “ever since I came here people have been shouting ‘fucking Jew’ and ‘heil Hitler’ at me.”
What is worth noting about Rabbi Kesselman’s statement in Expressen is that out of the 65 incidents in 2009, according to the Skåne police, three of these incidents were directed at Kesselman. Yet according to Kesselman, 15 separate reports were filed concerning anti-Semitic hate crimes aimed towards him. The worst incident involved someone trying to run him over with a car. Apparently, the authorities have a different method for calculating these figures, as the full number of incidents does not appear in the Skåne police statistics.
Another disturbing aspect of this case is the time it took before police brought Kesselman in for a hearing. An attack Kesselman reported in September 2009 was only dealt with in February 2010.
The most common anti-Semitic hate crimes have been graffiti or engraved swastikas or Stars of David on buildings or cars but there have also been several arson attacks on Jewish sites in Helsingborg as well as Malmö Jewish community.

DEVOUT MUSLIMS ATTACK CHRISTIAN CHARITY

I call on all no-Muslims and apostates to unite and defend ourselves against the global jihad. Our leaders won't do it. They are afraid.

Gunmen attack World Vision's office in Pakistan Gulf News hat tip Cheryl

Islamabad: Suspected militants armed with grenades attacked the offices of an international aid group in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday, killing five people working for the organization, police said.

The attack targeted World Vision, a large Christian humanitarian group helping survivors of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake in Mansehra district.

The dead were all Pakistanis and included two women, said police official Mohammad Sabir.

Al Qaida, the Taliban and allied groups are strong in northwestern Pakistan, but Mansehra lies outside the tribal belt next to Afghanistan where the militants have their main bases.

Extremists have killed other people working for foreign aid groups in Pakistan, greatly hampering efforts to raise living standards in the desperately poor region.

The aid groups are seen by the militants as a challenge to their authority in regions under their influence.

They often employ women and support female rights initiatives, further angering the extremists.

[...]

In 2008, militants in Mansehra killed four Pakistanis working for Plan International, a British-based charity that focuses on helping children.
