Missouri First Gets Legislators and Judge Roy Moore Together |
|||||||
January 25, 2005 – Jefferson City, MO These days, there's hardly a problem more important than judicial activism and there's hardly anyone who knows better how to deal with that problem than the former Chief Justice of the Alabama supreme court, Judge Roy Moore. |

They also learned that it is the state legislature's responsibility to do all it can to protect the people from renegade federal judges. One thing our state lawmakers can do is insist that the U.S. Congress pass the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005 (CRA). This federal bill will promote the proper application of the First Amendment by preventing federal courts from hearing “acknowledgment of God” cases. Missouri First is promoting a state resolution through which the House and Senate will implore our federal lawmakers to pass CRA. |

|
|||||||
Representative Mark Wright is the House sponsor of our resolution and Senator Rob Mayer is sponsoring the Senate version. We are anticipating dozens of co-sponsors and a strong vote that will send a positive message to Washington DC. |
|||||||
|
|||||||
These resolutions are not the only way we will be dealing with judicial activism this session. We will support Rep. Ed Emery's effort to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of Judge Scott Wright, the infamous federal judge who struck down our state's ban on partial birth abortion. To counter Missouri judges who want to legislate from the bench, we are supporting Rep. Jim Lembke's bill to modify the so called “non-partisan court plan” by requiring senate confirmation of nominees to the state courts. |

Judge Moore's visit helped provide a valuable push for all of these projects by illustrating just how bad the courts have gotten and also by making it clear that the state legislature has a responsibility to do all it can to rein them in.
