Following is our Open Letter to Senator Johnny Isakson (also sent to Senator David Perdue) from CRW/NA regarding the pending Obama lifetime appointment of Dax Lopez as federal judge here in Georgia.
As you may know, Dax Lopez was a long-time board member of GALEO, an organization whose mission it is to subvert our immigration law, lobbying for non-compliance and non-enforcement. How can we possibly sit by and appoint someone for life to INTERPRET the law, when he has already revealed his desire to subvert it? We believe our two Georgia U.S. Senators have it within their power to stop this if they want to. We (ALL of us) need to write letters to them to urge them to do so. Please join our club in adding your voice to this critical common sense, rule-of-law issue.
Dear Senator Isakson, Wednesday, October 14, 2015
Re: President Obama’s nomination for federal judge, Dax Lopez
As dedicated conservatives and active Republicans, we write to express our fervent and well-informed objection to further consideration of President Obama’s nomination for federal judge in the Northern District of Georgia.
We hope and trust that you will agree with our executive board that, because of his long-time support and service to the anti-enforcement, activist immigration corporation, GALEO, Dax Lopez has disqualified himself for becoming a federal judge.
As we trust you are aware, GALEO has a long and easily documented history of actively lobbying against enforcement of our battered immigration laws, against common sense voter ID laws, against local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities and for instate tuition for illegal aliens. GALEO also serves as a well-funded community organizer/lobbyist for a repeat of the 1986 amnesty for illegal aliens. These are only a few of the decidedly leftist causes this organization has pursued.
While unabashedly vocalizing his “support for their mission,” nominee Dax Lopez served on the GALEO board of directors for eleven years, as treasurer and as keynote speaker at GALEO fundraisers while lending his name and prestige as a state court current judge to the GALEO mission and agenda. This includes GALEO joining with the ACLU to sue in federal court to overturn state statutes aimed at protecting Georgians from the ravages of the crimes of illegal employment and illegal immigration.
The role of the judiciary is to interpret the law; yet, by word and deed, Dax Lopez has presented every indication that he is willing to assist in subverting and overturning laws with which he apparently does not agree. We also note that Lopez resigned from his position with GALEO only after his his nomination to the federal bench.
This history should disqualify his nomination from advancing to consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We respectfully ask that you use your authority to terminate consideration of Dax Lopez for the federal bench.
