Obama judge: "No" to Jesus, "Yes" to Allah

President Barack Obama's first judicial nominee, David Hamilton, is a former ACLU attorney, who as a federal trial judge issued a court ruling that said "No" to Jesus and "Yes" to Allah.
In 2005, this former ACLU activist ordered the Speaker of the Indiana House to immediately stop "sectarian prayers" at the opening of the legislative session. Specifically, Hamilton ruled that prayers "using Christ's name or title" were sectarian and therefore unconstitutional.
To make matters worse, in a post-judgment motion for this same case, Hamilton ruled that prayers said to "Allah" were acceptable! So, according to Obama's first judicial nominee, prayers to Jesus are unconstitutional but prayers to Allah are just fine!
Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief opposing Hamilton's ruling in that case and fortunately it was reversed by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court to which he has now been nominated for life time tenure. But this case and others have exposed the far-left, anti-faith and anti-life positions of President Obama's first judicial nominee. Go here for more details on Hamilton's record:

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee begins its hearings on the Hamilton nomination. I am asking you to take a stand with me in opposing this nomination.
+ + Fax the Judiciary Committee now
I am asking every member of the Liberty Counsel team to fax the Senate Judiciary Committee right now and say "NO" to the Hamilton nomination for Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
We have set up a special fax system that will automatically deliver your faxes to your two Senators and key members of the Judiciary Committee. Go here:

Of course, if you prefer to send your own faxes, we encourage you to do that as well. My staff has provided both the contact information and sample fax letters.
Hamilton also blocked an informed consent abortion law in Indiana that is nearly identical to a law approved by the Supreme Court. In fact, the Seventh Circuit called Hamilton's obstruction of the informed consent law "an abuse of discretion."
+ + This nomination will set the stage
Brenda, because this is President Obama's first judicial nominee, the Hamilton nomination will set the stage for all future Obama court nominees.
We must take a stand!
Please... send your faxes today. Thanks again for standing for faith and life in this increasingly hostile political environment.
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel
P.S. Again, the hearing begins on Wednesday. Go here to send your faxes:
