The ACLU Dominoe Effect
I linked to this earlier, but it does deserve a post of its own. It has been emailed to me from different people more than a few times.

You might want to look into the ACLU’s domino strategy regarding state
Supreme Courts.This year there are some very important races for state Supreme Court seats. The liberals know that by packing the courts they can hopefully create precedent in individual states which can then be relied upon in other states by liberal judges there. It is an insidious strategy and not all that hard to figure out. One state falls, then another and another until thecontrolling weight of authority is in their favor.
Take a look at this blog about a Kentucky race.
George Barrett and a bunch of liberal lawyers are trying to get one of their own on the court by keeping a gag on the conservative candidate so they won’t be discovered. A blogger is on to them. They are working around thecountry this year trying to position their people to make law from the bench.
In Kentucky this year 263 out of 265 judicial positions are up for election, including 5 of 7 spots on the Kentucky Supreme Court. That makes this year a very important election year and one in which, perhaps more than ever, citizens need to make an effort to educate themselves on their judicial candidates. This is often a difficult task because there is little information on many of the candidates in mainstream print and there is not usually a great deal of name recognition. However, a little research effort will go a long way in making Kentucky better.
The truth is, liberals already know this. A concerted grassroots effort made by either side over the next few months could potentially change Kentucky forever. Kentucky Supreme Court Justices serve 8 year terms, and incumbents generally enjoy an advantage over opponents. Rich liberals have already begun pouring money into the campaigns of candidates who they hope will become activist judges.
