Our Views in a Nutshell:

1. The JTEE should be enacted
except that the I.G. should be appointed
by the House and/or Senate Judiciary
Committee(s) and H.R. 5219 should be extended to
cover the U.S. Supreme Court;

2.  As to the "We the People Act", we applaud
Representative Ron Paul's (R-Tx) attempt to tame
judicial activism, social engineering, and legislating
from the bench.  However, the guarantee of a
republican form of government should not allow
states to run roughshod over the constitutional rights
of their residents.  The "We the People Act" could
lead to erosion of many classic, Supreme Court
decisions, replacing them with a patchwork of state
statutes and caselaw.  Under this scenario, the rights
and liabilities of American citizens could literally
change at every state border;

3.  The cure for judicial activism run rampant may
well be found in striking at the source which
Representative Todd Akin (R-Mo) somewhat does
with his proposed legislation.  It emphasizes lack of
good behavior as grounds for impeachment,
providing examples and assisting the system of
checks and balances inherent in our U.S.
Constitution.  However, it dubiously equates certain
instances of poor etiquette with impeachable crimes
and does not distinguish "bribery, treason, high
crimes and misdemeanors" from the "good behavior"
prerequisite for holding federal, judicial office;

4.  If enacted, S. 494 will be the strongest free
speech law in history to protect federal employees
who defend the public.  The realization of this
legislative reform now depends on action by the
House of Representatives.  Passing H.R. 1317 and H.
R. 5112 would ensure that the Senate victory is not
hollow and go further than the Senate legislation in
strengthening whistleblower rights.  House leadership
should schedule votes and enact these bills without
further delay.
