Ernie Ohlhoff, Director of Outreach for National Right to Life, sent us this update:
"This email is offered in response to a number of questions I have received regarding the status of Fr. Frank Pavone and Priests for Life. Over the past two weeks I have had several discussions with Fr. Frank Pavone and other Priests for Life staff. The following is the most current information which I have received concerning the present status of Priests for Life and Fr. Frank Pavone:
1. Priests for Life is fully functional. All staff and services are continuing to function.
2. Fr. Frank Pavone is staying at a convent in Amarillo and offers daily Mass for the Franciscan Sisters.
3. Fr. Frank continues to be the National Director of Priests for Life but he is not traveling at this time.
4. Fr. Frank can be contacted by email at nd@priestsforlife.org."
President Obama nominated Caitlin Halligan, who has been called radical by social issues conservatives, to fill the open seat on the DC Circuit Court which has not been filled since Chief Justice John Roberts was confirmed to the Supreme Court in 2005.
The D.C. Circuit has jurisdiction over constitutional challenges and contentious decisions by federal government agencies and is a stepping-stone to the Supreme Court.
Halligan filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court arguing that pro-life protestors were actually engaging in extortion. The court rejected that legal theory 8-1. (NB Not only is she radical, but not very competent)
She would have been dangerous on the court. The effect of Sen. Brown's Dec 6th vote against closure is that Halligan will not receive the appointment. Again, thanks to Sen. Brown for blocking another problem judge. Anne
THANK YOU!
