• <p>Ruth McGregor, the embattled Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, resigned her high office today, effective July 01, 2009, nearly a year before her term was due to expire.</p> <p>McGregor gained unwanted notoriety last year when she used her position to promulgate “Pro Raza” policy and advance the political interests of a powerful group of left wing lawyers and judges called “Los Abogados.”</p> <p>On September 12, 2008 Los Abogados, objecting the use of legal terminology commonly used in Arizona courts, wrote a letter to McGregor strongly “encouraging” her to influence the lower courts to refrain from using terms like “Illegal Aliens,” “Illegal Immigrants,” and “Anchor Babies” because, “these terms attach an illegal status to the person thereby establishing a brand of contemptibility.” </p> <p>Los Abogados suggested to McGregor that the use terms like “Foreign Nationals,” “Unauthorized Workers,” etc, would “increase the professionalism of the courts, reduce the perceptions of judicial bias, and lead to greater confidence in Arizona courts.”</p> <p>McGregor passed the letter on to the lower judges along with her own letter and stamp of approval. A public watchdog group, Judicial Watch, got wind of the incident and reported it on their blog. Kerri Gerchick, a member of Los Abogados and an assistant to Chief Justice McGregor, angrily called Judicial Watch and threatened to sue. <br /> <br /> Subsequently, a number of “Close the Border” activist groups from around the state wrote articles, filed complaints and set off a firestorm. </p> <p>“McGregor violated the Canons of Judicial Conduct which prohibit judges from showing partiality, engaging in improper acts, or even creating the appearance of impropriety,” said Tucson activist Roy Warden. </p> <p>“Then she threatened Judicial Watch and tried to weasel out.”</p> <p>On December 10, 2008 Arizonans for Immigration Control held a rally in front of the Arizona Supreme Court, to bring the matter to public view.</p> <p>“At the rally we handed out contact information; subsequently I was contacted by a number of officials. At their suggestion I produced a document which summarized the incident, and Lee Ewing, the President of Arizonans for Immigration Control, sent a copy to a large number of Arizona Legislators and Senators, and every member of the Arizona Commission on Judicial Conduct.” </p> <p>“Some of these people called me to express their concerns Let’s just say a growing number of Arizonans don’t like officials who promote Pro Raza Policy. </p> <p>“Today, the wheels finally turned and justice was done.</p> <p>“Chief Justice McGregor bent over and grabbed her ankles to placate La Raza, the Open Border Lobby, and Los Abogados,” said Warden. “It’s outrageous for a judge to do what she did. </p> <p>“Last year I told a whole lot of people we’d eventually ‘get’ her. Today the people took McGregor down.” </p> <p>For more information, please contact:</p> <p>Roy Warden<br /> Director, TWPF<br /> (520) 881-0535 <br /> roywarden1@netzero.net<br /> <a href="http://www.wardenburnsmexicanflags.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wardenburnsmexicanflags.com</a><br /> </p>

• <p>Embattled Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor went down because a small group of political activists brought her down. I will submit a full article on our behind-the scenes efforts within the next 48 hours.</p> <p>Heres a synopsis: By using her high office to advance the interests of LaRaza, and a Pro-Raza group of left wing judges and lawyers called "Los Abogados" in late 2008, McGregor violated the Canons of Judicial Conduct.</p> <p>We documented the evidence and presented it to all 28 members of her Review Board, and each and every member of the Arizona State Legislature.</p> <p>Then we added some muscle. </p> <p>Guess What? Some of those who also occupy high office don't like Pro-Raza Policy any more than we do.</p> <p>RW<br /> (520) 881-0535<br /> </p>
