The Retirement of Associate Justice David H. Souter

Well, it's been a busy day around here, but we wanted to give you a brief update on Justice Souter's retirement:

Associate Justice David Souter announced yesterday that he intends to retire as soon as his replacement can be sworn in. Justice Souter deserves the thanks of this nation for his commitment to public service and the rule of law. He has served the Court and the country well for nearly two decades dedicating his life to public service, the rule of law and to the Constitution.

Justice Souter’s retirement is a reminder of the legacy a president leaves with his appointments. Justice Souter remained on the bench long after the president who appointed him left office. President Obama now has the opportunity to nominate someone worthy of his own historic legacy. We have been busy here at Alliance for Justice researching, coordinating with progressive allies, and preparing for the fight ahead.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been a fixture at the Supreme Court, would you like to thank them 4 guaranteed rights?
"Opening the door for us all" < Saying a lot if you see the whole story!

"Jehovah’s Witnesses have been a fixture at the Supreme Court, arguing for rights that are now guaranteed to all Americans. And yes, that includes the right to knock on your door."

By Joel P. Engardio

Just a part:
"Allowing Jehovah's Witnesses to knock door-to-door says a lot about the freedoms we value in America: religion, speech and personal liberty. It isn't easy letting people fully exercise their rights when you don't agree with their message or lifestyle. It seems threatening, which explains our current culture war. Jehovah's Witnesses uniquely demonstrate how to avoid this impasse and show us not only how religious and personal freedoms can peacefully co-exist, but also why they must."

Yes, it is easy to get mad at others who you do not agree with but it is humane to try and get the sense of their reasoning even if you still do not agree. You know they take their religion seriously to keep trying to help others to get a deeper sense of what the Bible is all about.

I hope to use this info for my own personal civil case against church and state where they have ignored my religious rights some years ago.That is why I am putting this info together for proof!

The word cleavage is the reason for my email name Cooperation Needed because that is what is needed not cleavage in the human system to work right!

Justice Harlan Fiske Stone "I think the Jehovah's Witnesses ought to have an endowment" do you too? Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States.

There was more but I just put this only for now.
