In May, the “Gang of Eight’s” immigration reform bill passed a procedural hurdle in the United States Senate and moved to full Senate consideration. Now the debate is underway and expected to last through the month of June. Proponents of
Last week another scandal exploded into the news, when Edward Snowden, a former tech contractor and CIA employee, admitted that he leaked classified details about a National Security Agency spy program. Code named PRISM, this program involved, in part, the
Political correctness is dangerous, even deadly, especially when it is practiced by one of the nation’s most important law enforcement agencies. Judicial Watch recently released hundreds of pages of FBI memos and other documents revealing that, in 2012, the agency
Last week I was on Fox and Friends to announce a wonderful development for Judicial Watch’s public education mission. In just a few weeks, we are going to take another major leap forward in exposing the truth about President Barack
It started as a dirty little secret several years ago. Frustrated by opposition to amnesty legislation, the Obama administration bypassed Congress and enacted a backdoor scheme to bypass Congress and enact illegal alien amnesty via executive fiat. That’s when phrases
The Obama administration has perfected the art of “selective transparency.” It releases documents when it serves their purposes and keeps them secret when it does not. We’ve seen this happen time and time again. When the Obama administration wanted to
If there is one lesson I have learned over my decade and a half at Judicial Watch, it is this: you must never overestimate the hypocrisy of the Left–especially in covering for their own. Lest you have even the slightest
In my experience, the term “BOLO” is a law enforcement term short for “be on the lookout” for criminals and suspects on the run. But for the Obama IRS, BOLO meant, literally, “be on the lookout” for citizen groups who
With approximately one-third of congressional committees preoccupied with investigating Obama corruption – from Benghazi-gate, to the IRS scandal, to Obamacare propaganda – the First Family might be tempted to escape to some far away location for vacation. As Judicial Watch
In January, Judicial Watch launched an investigation into the Beyoncé presidential inauguration ceremony lip-sync “scandal.” The superstar delivered a powerful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, but reports quickly surfaced that she was actually faking it on the steps of
From the beginning, the Obama administration has made the claim that the “selective deportation” scheme it initiated did not apply to dangerous criminals. Only peace-loving, law abiding illegal aliens would be allowed a stay of deportation proceedings, they explained. But
Two weeks into the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings, here is what we know – or at least what we think we know: The terrorist attack was perpetrated by Chechen national Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dhokhar. Tamerlan
The next election season is already almost upon us, believe it or not, with the mid-terms next year. Much remains to be learned from dissecting the left’s attempts to lie, cheat, and steal votes during the last go-around. Judicial Watch
Obamacare set a nasty precedent in Washington: radical and unpopular legislation is developed behind closed doors and then passed quickly, without time for sufficient public scrutiny. Tragically, this is exactly what is happening on Capitol Hill as the so-called “bi-partisan
On March 14, 2013, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama Department of Labor (DOL) seeking records detailing the May 30, 2012, visit of then-Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to CASA de Maryland’s Langley Park
Judicial Watch has been the leading force in uncovering the suspicious and dangerous connections between Obama administration officials and radical leftist special interest groups on a host of issues, from stealth amnesty to voter fraud to reverse discrimination. (See our
The Obama administration is proudly shattering welfare records with an astonishing number of people collecting public benefits long term, especially food stamps. In fact, as I discussed in a special to be aired on Hannity tonight, Obama and his friends
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is overrun by leftist activists from ACORN and the ACLU who are shaping policies ranging from illegal immigration to discrimination laws to voter integrity. We have a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) spending hundreds of
“The ideal set up by the Party was … a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting–three hundred million people all with
Imagine this scenario: voters in the State of California, after a furious special interest propaganda campaign, elect to flout federal law and render it legal in the state for printers to manufacture their own counterfeit currency. Maybe they were convinced
Judicial Watch attorney Jim Peterson and I recently visited the U.S. Supreme Court with former Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce to attend oral arguments concerning a critical issue – the right of the state of Arizona to ensure that
Six months have passed since the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and we are no closer to the truth about what happened. And there is only one
Judicial Watch recently earned a major victory against the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in its efforts to uncover records detailing the Obama administration’s “stealth amnesty” initiative. And with DHS releasing thousands of illegal alien criminals onto the streets,
I cannot imagine what information the Obama administration is trying to keep secret regarding Gardasil, a vaccine for the sexually transmitted disease human papillomavirus (HPV), because what we know so far from the records we’ve already uncovered is truly frightening.
Previously I told you about videos we obtained that show a “Cultural Sensitivity Program” sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for its employees. In these videos, diversity awareness trainer and self-described “citizen of the world” Samuel Betances
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on February 14, 2013, against the Obama Administration’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence seeking records that could shed light on what Obama administration officials knew about the September
To say that Jesse Jackson, Jr. is in a world of trouble is an understatement. As you may recall, JW identified Jackson as one of Washington’s Ten Most Wanted corrupt politicians earlier this year. But now, with his guilty plea
Hold on to your hat. Because the video we just obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will knock it off. The video, which we obtained pursuant to a May 18, 2012, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request,
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste… And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” This is what former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel
In January, Judicial Watch announced that Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) had made its list of Washington’s “Ten Most Corrupt” politicians for 2012. And what were the senator’s transgressions? You can read his entry for yourself, but here’s the Reader’s Digest
A federal court issued a decision recently that has massive implications for some of Barack Obama’s radical czars, who were installed into positions of power without the consent of the U.S. Senate as required by the Constitution. Score one for
When leftists are unable to persuade voters to adopt their radical agendas at the ballot box, they turn to the courts. Sure enough, there is a battle raging in California now that has far-reaching implications for the bedrock institution of
Who is running the Justice Department? It certainly appears evident, as President Obama enters his second term, that leftist radicals have a seat at the table inside Justice and are making both policy and personnel decisions. As Judicial Watch has
When Republicans caved on budget negotiations, endorsing the president’s plan to impose massive tax increases while making no commitments on spending cuts, some might have been tempted to think that this was an isolated incident – perhaps a winter flu
Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified last Wednesday to congressional committees regarding the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, which led to the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American citizens. At times evasive,
The Obama administration’s hypocrisy over information related to the bin Laden raid and burial apparently knows no bounds. Judicial Watch has battled the Obama administration for records detailing the leaking of sensitive details to the filmmakers behind Zero Dark Thirty,
Judicial Watch has been the leading force fighting against illegal alien sanctuary policies. We’ve scored victories in Maryland, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, and New Jersey, to name just a few states where we’ve battled illegal immigration activists toe-to-toe. (Our message is
The Obama administration is pushing gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook, Connecticut, shootings. President Obama is using the murders as a pretext to undermine the Second Amendment and collect data on lawful gun owners. But this administration
Remember when President Obama was caught on a hot mic telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to be patient with him because he would have more “flexibility” in his second term when he would never again have to face American voters?
