Print Tom Fitton Read Full Bio Court Rules DOJ Politicized Black Panther Case Imagine if a conservative political appointee at DOJ had just been cited in a federal court decision as having apparently testified falsely under oath. Not only would it be a top headline at The New York Times and The Washington Post, but the IG and OPR would be rushing to investigate. All of which is a sad commentary on the liberal bias not just of the media, but of too many of the offices and officials within the Justice Department who are supposed to administer justice in an objective, non-political, and impartial manner. 6 Aug 2012 HHS Sued for Records Detailing Grant to the National Council of La Raza Whether we’re talking about Obamacare favors for union bosses or illegal payments to ACORN and its spinoffs, the Obama administration knows how to take care of its “friends,” and that includes the crazies from “La Raza.” On July 18, 2012, we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeking access to records detailing taxpayer-funded grants provided by the Centers for Disease Control to the National Council of La Raza (The National Council of “The Race”). 30 Jul 2012 FBI, DOJ Sued for Info on Mueller's Secret Meeting with Radical Islamic Organizations It appears the FBI has taken another giant step down a very dangerous path with FBI Director Robert Mueller’s secret meeting with radical Islamic organizations and allowing them effectively to “edit” the FBI’s training manuals. 30 Jul 2012 ACLU Challenges PA Voter ID Law; Judicial Watch Seeks Information on Possible DOJ Involvement On July 17, 2012, we filed an amicus curiae brief with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania in support of HB 934, a voter identification measure signed into law by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett on March 14, 2012. The ACLU of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against the law on behalf of various individuals, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and allied groups. 24 Jul 2012 Michelle Obama's Family Ski Trip to Aspen Cost Taxpayers at Least $83,000 The economy has stalled. The unemployment rate remains high. American taxpayers are stretched to the limit. So what do you do if you’re the First Family? Take another taxpayer-funded vacation! 23 Jul 2012 Presidential Campaign Transparency Finger Pointing In testimony before Congress, I gave the Obama administration a “failing grade” on transparency. “To be sure,” I told Congress, “the Obama administration has been less transparent than the Bush administration…The Bush administration was tough and tricky, but the Obama administration is tougher and trickier.” 19 Jul 2012 JW Sues Fed for Records Detailing U.S. Taxpayer Bailout of European Banks Regarding our basic FOIA request, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the FOMC can’t say it was “lost in the mail.” The stonewalling is intentional. Both entities acknowledged receipt of our records request on January 3, 2012, and were required by law to respond by February 1, 2012. However, as of the date of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, neither defendant has submitted a lawful response to Judicial Watch’s original FOIA request. 16 Jul 2012 Congressional Report Indicates Dodd Knew He Was Countrywide VIP A new report from Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform entitled “How Countrywide Used its VIP Program to Influence Washington Policymakers" confirms what Judicial Watch has been arguing for several years – that former Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and current Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) must have known they were receiving special treatment from Countrywide Financial in the form of sweetheart mortgage deals. 16 Jul 2012 Judicial Watch Pursues Answers in Kagan/Obamacare Controversy while DOJ Stonewalls The key question, of course, was whether Justice Kagan could dispassionately evaluate the constitutional arguments at issue with Obamacare given that she herself may have helped craft the Obamacare defense. If a reasonable person can wonder, then it is most certainly cause for concern. After all, the recusal option is available for a reason – even the appearance of bias undermines public confidence in the integrity of the courts. 9 Jul 2012 Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records of Illegal Alien Amnesty Program Many citizens in the cities of Baltimore and Denver might be surprised to learn that they provided a “testing ground” for the Obama administration’s dangerous (and unlawful) policy of suspending the deportations of illegal aliens last year. 9 Jul 2012 Previous 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Next
