| Supreme Court Justice Stepping Down, Confirmation Battle Coming Soon Friday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens announced that he will retire from the bench after the Court finishes its term in June. Stevens, who will turn 90 in less than two weeks, was one of the most liberal Justices on the Court, and with President Obama in office, he'll likely be replaced with someone just as liberal. A few of the leading candidates for this open seat are U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, the former dean of Harvard Law School who argued the Mojave Desert War Memorial case before the Court, and Diane Wood, a judge who ruled against Christianity on more than one occasion. |
| Candy Cane Case Argued Again This week, Liberty Institute attorneys, with former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement joining their side, had oral arguments on the infamous candy cane case, now at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court is considering whether or not two school officials are liable for shutting down students' free speech because it's religious. Not only were we shocked, but the judges were as well when attorneys for the school officials said students don't have First Amendment rights and that government religious viewpoint discrimination against children is perfectly legal! The judges continually asked the attorneys to cite cases that showed that religious viewpoint discrimination is allowed against children, and they could not provide even one. It is unbelievable that school officials would argue that they have the right to engage in religious viewpoint discrimination against students. |
| Houston Homosexual Mayor Declares "Same-Sex" Bathrooms Annise Parker, the newly elected mayor of Houston, recently signed two executive orders that expand protection for transgender individuals. The executive orders now allow transgenders, loosely defined as a person who is biologically one gender but identifies as another, to use the city-owned restrooms designed for the gender with which they identify. This means that a biological man will now be allowed to use the women's restroom if he identifies himself as a woman. Also, Parker, a lesbian herself, extended employment rights to transgenders by adding "gender identity" to the city's equal employment opportunity statement. While these policies only apply to city-owned restrooms and city employees, they are another sign of what's being pushed. Similar bills were filed in the 2009 Texas Legislative session, and the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) bill expected to pass this year would do exactly the same nationwide. |
| Homosexual Couples Encouraged to Identify as Married on Census News broke this week that Census officials are encouraging homosexual couples, when they fill out the 2010 Census, to identify themselves as married if they are committed to their partners. Census officials have no authority to redefine marriage, and by doing so, not only are they abusing their power, but they are violating the Defense of Marriage Act, which says that the federal government will not recognize any marriage other than that of one man and one woman. Even more appalling, the same officials are encouraging transgender people to choose the gender with which they identify, not their actual gender. This is an abuse of power by federal officials in an attempt to expand homosexual "marriage" and acceptance of transgender lifestyles. |
