My website fully exposes the corruption within the Winnipeg police department: Human Rights report by Dianna Scarth and Jerry Woods cites racial brutality attacks upon natives and blacks outside the city perimeters… Canadian Press report by Tamara King cites unprecidented levels of corruption and perjury or brutality charges against police systemic across Canada.
See my site winnipegpoliceexposed(dot)blogspot(dot)com and you will see the Winnipeg Police exposed in systemic rapes, brutalities, drug dealings, gang affiliations, cross border abductions (of which my case is just one amongst many) racism, and systemic abuses.

Total 11 attempts upon my life by Wpg police-they are trying to abduct me prior to Sept3/08 hearing at which we can expose their involvement in our attempted cross border abductions/ kidnapping and jail them for felony acts!
They have gone so far as to terrorized family friends and associates - have also terrorized my 64 yr old mother upon one abduction attempt, demanding entry yet I was not present. We both now suffer chest pains and I have been hospitalized several times as a result of the combination of the original attack and 3 years ongoing trauma/ fear for lives.
Winnipeg Police chief Keith Mc Caskill is deeply involved. He is an FBI graduate with liason to MN police. MN police and Wpg Police Similar MN police are now undergoing lawsuit for KKK threats upon their own black police and Black/Muslim congressman Keith Ellison, and in Minneapolis where we were profiled/attacked 21 blacks are imprisoned for every 1 white due to judicial corruption documented by the Council on Crime and Justice.

		<description>Dear Professor Turley,
     Thanks for your hard work on behalf of Dr. Sami al-Arian. I thought you'd like to know that Melva Underbakke will present the film "USA v. al-Arian" at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tarpon Springs, Florida, tomorrow, and we'll be reading excerpts from articles by Robert Fisk and Charley Reese regarding Dr. al-Arian, and playing his daughter's "Ballad of Sami al-Arian," with the congregation singing along. I hope that a number of our members and friends will communicate with Dr. al-Arian, and that he will be granted bail while he awaits deportation. 
     I myself may be going to jail this coming Tuesday for stopping a float I believe demeans and exploits American Indians in a local parade. I have been allowed to remain free since my conviction in 2004, and managed pro se to have my petition for a writ of certiorari accepted, docketed and rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court--I raised questions about being denied a writ of habeas corpus in lower courts. Semper fi, Dan Callaghan, Social Justice and Worship Committee chairperson, Unitarian Universalist Church of Tarpon Springs; president, Society of Citizens Against Racism (SCAR); member Tampa Bay Downs Racetrack Chaplaincy; Librarian, West Pasco Historical Society, convicted felon!</description>

		<description>Additionally, I'd like to hear anyones comments on whether or not they feel like I do, that Hilary Clinton may be still in this thing.

She never really conceded the nomination to Obama. Listen to her speeches. She acknowleged the support for him, and promised him, but she did not concede her delegates.

And so far, her "support" for him has been getting him to go out and beg for money to pay off her campaign debt.

Also I noticed Obama seemed to take his turn to the right, right after her people started nosing around in his campaign. I mean come on, Cowboy hats, vacationing on the fourth of July in Montana, eating steak and wearing flag pins while promising to extend Bush's illegal "Faith Based Initiatives" program?

This sounds like her schtick, not his.

And then, she suddenly changed her vote to Nay on HR 6034, this past Wednesday, as if she had convinced Obama she was voting for it, then at the last minute taking a hard left. 

I still think she may be planning a coup at the convention this fall, and honestly, I'm wondering if she doesn't deserve it.

After all, anyone smart enough to fool the presumptive nominee into turning into the oppositions darling child, while at the same time putting herself out there as the bastion of our values, pretty much demonstrated they at least are no dummy.

And we've had "dummy" in the White House, long enough.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Mr.Truley, when Obama offers you either the Attorney General position in his administration, or a Supreme Court spot. Please do me and the country big favor and accept
&lt;/i&gt;


I agree with the sentiment, that is, this country could do a lot worse than seeing Professor Turley finally in a position where he is not defending justice, but dispensing it.

But I do have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of condeming the FISA vote, then supporting the man who voted for it.

I'm being serious here, and usually get immediatly attacked for questioning why I, or anyone should or would support Obama after he voted to, as Professor Turley so aptly stated to Rachel Maddow on Countdown, "eviscerates the 4th Amendment", and "its gonna hurt".

I believe one term he used was it "strikes at the marrow" of the Amendment. 

And more accurate statements have not been made regarding this vote. The vote Professor Turley admonished Mr Obama, and rightly so, was not a "compromise, but a cave in".

Now what I'd like to hear, and have been searching the blogosphere for, is an explanation of why we don't hold Obama accountable for this vote? I tried prior to the vote, to rally opposition to the vote and vocalize our opposition to it, so Mr Obama would "take the hint". No one however seemed to want to touch it, and instead attacked me for even suggesting we withold our campaign donations and threaten to withold our votes if he proceeds to vote with the republicans on this one.

And thats what he did after all, vote with the republicans. 

There certainly wasn't one shred of sanity or concern for public safety in this thing. It was clearly a &lt;i&gt;"we broke the law, got caught, so now will change the law" bill.&lt;/i&gt;

Q: If Obama thinks we're going to vote for him, no matter what he does, just to beat McCain, then what is it exactly that will persuade him to actually care about our values? 


Recently, Obama started wearing the flag pin. While I get attacked anytime I bring up the flag pin, the fact is, I saw this as a sign of weakness in the face of a little opposition. Right when the republican crybaby chorale was warming up, and trying to paint him as unpatriotic for not wearing a 50 cent piece of tin on his lapel, or more aptly put, wearing his "patriotism on his sleeve", ...or lapel, as it were...he caves.

His campaign comes up with this phony photo op where some troops hand him a flag pin and walla. He's wearing the pin. 

Why?

So he could look more like Bush?

Some tried to profess that he was "picking his fights", but what I saw, was a man who caved instantly on the "little fights" and so naturally would cave when the big bouts came.

And he did.

Public Financing turnaround. Declaring to not only extend George Bush's Constitutional nightmare program "Faith Based Initiatives", and now FISA?

Even on Iraq, although he claims he hasn't changed his position, he still made an obvious effort to give himself an out, using the exact same cop out used by Bush for not ending the war;

&lt;i&gt;I'll listen to the commanders on the ground"&lt;/i&gt;

It seems to me that we are doing precisely what we accuse the right wing of doing, day in and day out.

Condemning the opposition candidate for the same things we're giving a pass to, for our own.

Am I the "only" one who feels this way? And if so,can someone explain to me (without calling me a neocon stooge) what it is again exactly,that makes us different them then again?

:&#124;

Cause I really wanna know.</description>

		<description>Liberal TNR Editor: 
Bush Never Lied to Us About Iraq
By Warner Todd Huston &#124; June 16, 2008 - 13:39 ET 

In an editorial in the L.A. Times on the 16th, Kirchick said that "Bush never lied to us about Iraq" and then went on to substantiate his claim in a style that runs contrary to the Media and nutroots meme that "Bush lied and people died." 

The left narrative, one the media is happy to parrot, has been that Bush lied us into war. Kirchick points out that "the notion that the Bush administration deceived the American people has become the accepted narrative of how we went to war." 

But Kirchick then steps out into some of the most intellectually honest analysis I've seen from the left since before the 2000 election when BDS first began to infect the media. 

Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House "manipulation" --that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction --administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods. 

Kirchick goes on to chronicle some of the agencies and investigative bodies that have found absolutely no evidence that the Bush Administration manipulated Congress as it made the case for the war. 

Kirchick also comes as close to calling John D. Rockefeller (D, W. Va.) a liar as you can without using those specific words when he notes that Rockefeller's "highly partisan" Senate Intelligence Committee report does not support the wild eyed claims made in its summation. 

Yet Rockefeller's highly partisan report does not substantiate its most explosive claims. Rockefeller, for instance, charges that "top administration officials made repeated statements that falsely linked Iraq and Al Qaeda as a single threat and insinuated that Iraq played a role in 9/11." Yet what did his report actually find? That Iraq-Al Qaeda links were "substantiated by intelligence information." The same goes for claims about Hussein's possession of biological and chemical weapons, as well as his alleged operation of a nuclear weapons program. 

Kirchick also trenchantly notes that the latest partisan attack that is being presented as a "report" conveniently forgets to mention the words of the many dozens of highly placed Democrats who's words were nearly identical to Bush's in the run up to war. 

In 2003, top Senate Democrats -- not just Rockefeller but also Carl Levin, Clinton, Kerry and others -- sounded just as alarmist. Conveniently, this month's report, titled "Whether Public Statements Regarding Iraq by U.S. Government Officials Were Substantiated by Intelligence Information," includes only statements by the executive branch. Had it scrutinized public statements of Democrats on the Intelligence, Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees -- who have access to the same intelligence information as the president and his chief advisors -- many senators would be unable to distinguish their own words from what they today characterize as warmongering. 

In the end, Kirchick finds no shred of proof that Bush "lied" about anything. In fact, he scolds every Democrat and partisan leftist for saying that he did and that the claim that Bush lied us into war is an "unsubstantiated allegation" that is "cowardly and dishonest." 

So, kudos to James Kirchick for an honest look at the record. Certainly we can agree to disagree right now, at this point, if the war was a good idea or not. But, it is beyond question that there were no lies disseminated by the Bush Administration and neither did the president "manipulate" any evidence to "mislead" the nation into war. 

Go read Kirchick's piece and marvel that it came from a lefty. He really nailed it. "Bush never lied to us about Iraq" is worth your time.</description>

		<description>Prof. Turley,

After watching the House hearing today with the EPA administrator Steven Johnson and his minions, I'm very concerned that this organization have lost their way to the truth. It seems to be documented in the record repeatedly that he has no opinion other than what he's told by the White House. This is NOT what the EPA is suppose to be for our country.

Is there a way that Congress can remove Mr. Johnson from his office? Can the courts remove him? Can the courts or Congress stop his rulings?

It's clear that his rulings are ignoring the science behind the recommendations that his organization brings to his office and he ignores them completely!

Please advise....</description>

		<description>Prof. Turley,

    I would enjoy reading your views on a Senate bill (S. 1926) introduced by Sen. Dodd, endorsed by Sen. Obama, and adopted by the latter as part of his economic plan.

    Perhaps worthy of column?  I have attached the URL for the text of the bill.

		<description>Just a note - res ipsa is not "the thing itself speaks"

it translates to "the thing speaks for itself"

it's a subtle, but important difference.

one is a statement. the other is an argument.</description>

		<description>Mark,  I don't know if you follow such things but yesterday's decision in Medellin v Texas pretty much scuttles any talk of the ICJ binding domestic courts short of Congressional enabling legislation.

Robert's footnote 2 by implication gives the Supremacy Clause a new reading, and the conservative bloc voted as expected even though it was against their Commander in Chief and against some of their originalist instincts.

At issue now is how many other treaties are scuttled sub silentio by this decision. What about the CAT?

But what do I know anyway...not much.  Mespo?</description>

		<description>Mark:

Thanks. 

So what is being said is we have no recourse against these criminals in any forum. While the rest of the world laughs us out of the room; our economy tanks at the expense of the big corporations that Bush and cronies on the Supreme Court now protect; Bush just says this morning that torture must be in the US bag of tricks, against every international law/treaty we as a country have ever agreed to because of some imagined threat the Cheney makes up in his sleep; and, we sit by quietly watching all this happen with no way it seems to stop it??</description>

		<description>Why hasn't Cuba issued indictments for the many crimes committed at Gitmo?  If they did, would the indictees be subject to arrest if they left the United States?

It seems to me that justice for the Bush dictatorship will have to be outside the US.</description>

		<description>Mr. Turley....

I'm not sure you are the right person for this query but you're better than 99.6% of everyone else in the community, so here goes..

How do we the people, or whom in our representation, can refer George Bush and Dick Cheney (and others in this current administration) to the International Criminal Court in the Hague?

I understand we as a nation have not "recognized" this court but does that make a difference??</description>

		<description>Wild update from Detroit (Feb. 5, 2008):
Judge has ordered release of ALL documents pertaining to the sudden settlement of a $9 million lawsuit brought on by three police officers against the mayor. The officers had evidence that the mayor was carrying on an extramarital affair probably using city tax dollars; the mayor subsequnetly and unjustly fired the three. The judge ruled a city cannot enter into “confidentiality agreements” assumed to have been doen to supress the embarassing details of the mayor’s activity. 

The mayor denied under oath during the trial of the affair. Since then, new evidence (probably leaked from the confidential settlement agreement) indicates he lied under oath. A 2004 Michigan Supreme Court ruling says perjury does NOT have to be material.

After the judge ruled today to release ALL documents, the mayor (apparently not in need of city council affirmation) announced “the city will immeidately appeal this decision”.

Will this all end up staying in state court or do the feds move in and take it over?

		<description>The current Court is following the will of the American people who want to see justice for victims of violent crime.  Liberals have always been more concerned for the perpetrators than for the the victims. It's odd they don't use the same rationale concerning abortion that they do regarding capital punishment.</description>

		<description>Mr. Turley your views on the death penalty show you to be nothing but a bleeding heart liberal, thank God that Nino, Clarence and the boys don't agree with you. I pray that you never get appointed to the Supreme Court.</description>

		<description>You rang, DW? 

As most of you know, I have a phone and I'm not afraid to use it... 

I agree with you that JT would be perfect as a Supreme, but I am also selfish enough to want to keep him here, with us, for now. And also because 'here' is where is most needed and is being, quite obviously, most effective. 

Besides that, we are a blast to hang out with about now. Right, JT?

P.S. Hey,you guys, I'm thinkin' about changing my handle to 
'One Ringy Dingy,Two Ringy Dingy'.  Whaddya think?

		<description>You see Professor Turley, there is a popular groundswell developing for your elevation to the Court.

And some of us may have some tiny, miniscule modicum of influence, who can say??  I think of Patty C and her telephone.

In any case, we should all keep our day jobs for now.  Massive changes are afoot and not all political at that.  A job is a nice thing to have....</description>

		<description>This is not directed at your column but is a general comment to Professor Turley. The Professor would be the perfect candidate for either the post of attorney General or be be named Associate Justice on the US Supreme Court. He would be perfect. He can talk the talk on both sides, to the professional lawyer and to the layman, with both understanding his position and his viewpoint. I look forward to seeing him on TV. as his explanation of the law is very helpful.</description>

		<description>Yes, I would like to see more politicians like Ron Paul. I do not agree with all of his stands on the issues, but at least he has been always consistent with his positions and lived by his principles. 
I have yet to decide on which candidate I am supporting but one thing that would affect my decision is their consistency on the issues, most importantly civil liberty voting records. 

Thank you for this post, Prof, Turley and Happy New Year!!!</description>

		<description>Have a great new year Prof. Turley!
Let's hope that next year is a better year for our constitution. I know you will keep fighting for it. :) 

Do you have any plan to appear on TV anytime soon? I am always eager to  hear what you have to say. :)</description>

		<description>You know, the wonderful thing about that possessed grill is that it continued to haunt the family for months. It developed some type of short that would make it spontaneously come on in the middle of the night or when you were walking by in the dark. Suddenly an alien voice would yell, "Let's Grill?" I finally took the damn thing to the trash and the last I heard from it was some babbling about ketchup as I threw it into the can. I still imagine it out in some dump yield freaking about the seagulls.</description>

		<description>The talking grill really got to me.  I laughed so, it brought tears to my eyes.

I must second the idea of your becoming a comedian.  And since the writers' strike is on, this might be a good time to approach MSNBC about doing a show.</description>

		<description>I,for one, would like you as an AJ, Professor Turley, precisely for the reason of the post above.  I don't imagine for a moment that the next appointment is going to be the liberal firebrand antithesis to a Luttig or JRB or some such.  No, what is needed is a genial, convivial person, self-deprecating, and comfortable with the media.  Personal qualities and abilities to get along with the swing votes will be crucial qualities in the next search since professional competence, illustrious resume, and good knowledge of the law are going to be common across the pool. But perhaps most importantly, it seems to me from reading between the lines on this blog of yours, that you actually deeply care about the constitutional issues of the day, and that though you grace everything with humor and balance, you are invested in this civic religion that many of us share.

Or so I imagine in my outsider, out-of-the-loop way....

I realize that I have been shamelessly indulging myself with promoting you for the position and that it is graceless and awkward, so this will be my last on the topic and no reply necessary!

Seasons greetings.  :)</description>

		<description>Dear Prof. Turley,
(When I try to post a comment on this the first time around, it did not work. So I hope it will make it this time. :))

This column is very entertaining; I kept giggling while reading it..I am sure it was quite serious and dangerous situations then, but looking back I think it is one of those stories that you can pass on to your children (if they don't remember them, that is :) ). But I really hope that you will keep yourself safe through these dangerous(?) holidays because you are one of the most admired intellectuals in this country and whom this country needs. Your blog (actually your stands on the constiution) opened my eyes to see the things I've ignored about what is going on with this country in terms of our rights and freedom. I think I took so many things for granted...but now I realize basic rights and freedom are something we have to guard for not something to take granted for. I am a naturalized U.S. citizen. I used to think that the U.S. was one of the greatest countries because of its stands on human rights and freedom along with other great things. And no doubt now the image of the country is very much tainted due to the course this administration has taken on these issues which are totally against what this contry is founded upon. I want to see the restored image of this country so that I can say that I am proud to be an American. So please keep being a hero for those of us who believe in true American values and who understand what defines Americans.     

Happy holidays to you and your familay!!

I apologize; I didn't mean to make the comment this long. And this comment is quite different from my original one that did not make it :)

Sincerely,

Sue (AlwaysCurious)</description>
