More than print, TV or any other medium, online journalists are now the most-jailed category of journalists worldwide. A study by the Committee to Protect Journalists said that the online reporters, editors and bloggers make up 45% of the 125

Dear Friend,

Of course the United States Constitution matters. However, it seems that Hillary Clinton and the Washington, D.C. insiders don’t seem to think so because despite being ineligible under the U.S. Constitution, Hillary Clinton is being nominated for Secretary of State!

Will you help me fight for the U.S. Constitution by making a donation now to Judicial Watch?

You see, the Ineligibility Clause (Article 1, Section 6) of the Constitution provides that “No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.”

And unfortunately for Hillary, a January 2008 Executive Order signed by President Bush (during Hillary Clinton’s current Senate term) increased the salary for Secretary of State, thereby rendering Senator Clinton ineligible for the position.

This provision was designed by our Founding Fathers to protect against corruption. (President Ronald Reagan reportedly did not appoint Senator Orin Hatch to the Supreme Court because of this provision.)

There’s no getting around the Constitution’s Ineligibility Clause. Hillary Clinton is prohibited from serving in the Cabinet until at least 2013, when her current term expires.

And now Hillary is attacking us. Her spokesman smeared us by calling us a “fringe group.” Why? For pointing out that the U.S. Constitution – the supreme law of the land – should be followed by President-elect Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton.

Your most generous tax-deductible donation will be very helpful as Judicial Watch weighs all of our options to fight for the U.S. Constitution!

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are now trying to do an end run around the Constitution by reducing the salary of Secretary of State to previous levels, but their charade won’t work. Nothing can change the fact that the salary had been increased while Senator Clinton served in Congress. Simply put, the Constitution does not provide for a legislative remedy for the Ineligibility Clause.

Every American ought to be disturbed that Obama, Clinton and their friends in Congress appear willing to cast the Constitution aside when it gets in the way of their political plans.

Aside from the constitutional issue, Hillary Clinton’s long track record of corruption makes her a terrible choice to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.

To illustrate just one: Has any other Secretary of State nominee been the subject of a grand jury criminal investigation?

Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are ethically challenged and have consistently abused their public office for personal and political gain. Hillary and Bill (not to mention their siblings) are scandals waiting to happen. Hillary Clinton has neither the temperament nor ethics to be in such a sensitive office.

Nor is she eligible under the U.S. Constitution.

Please make your most generous tax-deductible donation now to Judicial Watch and help fight those who want to violate the United States Constitution.

Thank you,

Thomas Fitton
President

P.S. In addition to Hillary Clinton’s poor ethical record, she is constitutionally ineligible to serve as Secretary of State. Help Judicial Watch now to fight for the U.S. Constitution.

P.P.S Please get the word out about this serious issue and pass this email along to your friends. Also let your representatives in Congress know what you think about proposed efforts to do an end run around the Constitution to help Hillary become Secretary of State.

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas — A judge has dismissed the indictments brought by a South Texas prosecutor against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Administrative Judge Manuel Banales ruled Monday that eight indictments, including those involving Cheney and Gonzales, were improperly returned by a Willacy County grand jury last month. The indictments against Cheney and Gonzales centered on the alleged abuse of inmates at private prisons in the county.

Banales ruled that five of the indictments against two district judges, two special prosecutors and the district clerk connected to an investigation of Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra were unlawful because Guerra was the alleged victim and the person presenting the cases.

Banales earlier survived a recusal motion brought by Guerra. Banales then dismissed an indictment against state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. that accused the Brownsville Democrat of corruption.
