The Republican National Committee has launched a new web site, obamavconstitution.com, that accuses President Obama’s judicial nominees of angling to edit the Constitution to protect sex offenders and terrorists, outlaw prayer and make health care a right.
The fund-raising site, which asks for donations between $25 and $1,000, doesn’t mention anyone from President Obama’s reported Supreme Court short list, targeting lower court nominees instead.
However, it claims: “President Obama’s judicial nominees have made it clear: the Founding Fathers got it wrong. Unless you stop them, here are just a few of the edits they may make to the Constitution.”
According to the RNC, Goodwin Liu wants to keep the government from having “the tools to fight terror.” Their proof? Liu testified against the nomination of now-Justice Samuel Alito, questioning Alito’s “deferential instinct toward government” during an administration that employed “questionable tactics … to fight the War on Terror.”
Another one of their targets, Robert Chatigny, once ruled that a Connecticut online sex offender registry was illegal because it didn’t give non-violent offenders the chance to appeal putting their names on the site. According to the RNC, this means Chatigny thinks “sex offenders should not be monitored by law enforcement.”
The RNC’s web site automatically re-directs to the new fund-raising site, much like the committee’s last successful moneybomb, firepelosi.com. That site showed a photo of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi surrounded by glames.
