Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration

The Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration is a conservative, religious organization that runs the website StopActivistJudges.com.

Rick Scarborough is the acting chair of the group, and said that his group was needed because judicially activist "distortions of the Constitution have brought us abortion-on-demand , purged religious symbols from public places, made our schools faith-free zones, created a so-called right to homosexual sodomy and threatened 'one nation under God' in the pledge of allegiance. Now, judges seem intent on imposing same-sex marriage by fiat."[1]

The group's conference on "Confronting The Judicial War On Faith," which convened shortly after the group was formed,[2] attracted many prominent conservatives: according to the Washington Post, "The two-day program listed two House members; aides to two senators; representatives from the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America; conservative activists Alan Keyes and Morton C. Blackwell ; the lawyer for Terri Schiavo's parents; Alabama's "Ten Commandments" judge, Roy Moore; and DeLay, who canceled to attend the pope's funeral."

Justice Kennedy

The conference on "The Judicial War On Faith" included an April 8 2005 meeting on "Remedies to Judicial Tyranny" that focused on justifying impeachment of Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy:

Home School Legal Defense Association chair Michael P. Farris said Kennedy "should be the poster boy for impeachment" because he cited international norms in his opinions. He continued: "If our congressmen and senators do not have the courage to impeach and remove from office Justice Kennedy, they ought to be impeached as well."

Edwin Vieira also supported impeachment for Kennedy: according to him, his opinion in Lawrence v. Texas, "upholds Marxist, Leninist, satanic principles drawn from foreign law." He continued with quotation from Joseph Stalin: "He had a slogan, and it worked very well for him, whenever he ran into difficulty: 'no man, no problem.'" Stalin originally preceded "no man, no problem" with "Death solves all problems," leading to criticism from many, who see Vieira's comments as part of a disturbing trend of threats against judges by conservatives, including speculation by John Cornyn about about the connection between activist decisions and violence against judges and by Tom DeLay about bringing the judges responsible for Terri Schiavo's death to justice. Phyllis Schlafly approved of these comments, however, noting that "[t]he people who have been speaking out on this, like Tom DeLay and Senator Cornyn, need to be backed up."
