Liberal Activist Judge Scores Victory for Islamic Terrorists

Underscoring yet again how crucial it is not only to the health of the country but to our physical safety that Democrats be kept from positions of authority, a judge appointed by Jimmy Carter is demanding that the NSA shut down a perfectly legal wiretapping program used to gather the sort of information that saved thousands of lives when a plot to blow up transatlantic flights was foiled last week.
From her bench in Detroit, America's most liberal city, Judge Anna Diggs Taylor issued a nonsensical ruling claiming that listening to the overseas calls of enemies plotting to kill American civilians constitutes a violation of free speech and privacy rights.
The ruling came in response to a suit brought by a fifth-column alliance that included the ACLU, the Hamas front group Council on American-Islamic Relations, the watermelons (green on the outside, red on the inside) at Greenpeace, left-wing journalist Christopher Hitchens, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, whose former president Nancy Hollander "stated that she frequently engages in international communications with individuals who have alleged connections with terrorist organizations" in a footnote to the ruling. That was meant not as an argument to keep a close eye on this woman, but to prevent the government from surveilling terrorists.
Like the ACLU, Judge Taylor has a communist background. She helped set up an office of the National Lawyers Guild, described by Congress as the "legal bulwark of the Communist Party." She is exactly the sort of individual a Democratic president would appoint to impose left-wing ideology at the expense of our well-being and security.
That the Left is effectively operating as an ally to Islamic terrorists who are trying to kill us cannot be credibly denied. Distinguishing between terrorists and their liberal enablers is increasingly a matter of splitting hairs. They serve different roles, but in the same army. They share an objective: the destruction of our civilization.
