Senator Rand Paul and Judge Andrew Napolitano drop Bombshells: Obama Administration was Spying on Other Senators Too

Especially if you are a baby boomer, you’d remember the Brady Bunch’s Jan being frustrated with her older sister saying, “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia”.


That’s what the whining Left sounds to me every time they talk as if President Trump and Russia colluded together to win the election: “Russia, Russia, Russia”. (Yeah, its not an original thought – I heard the analogy first on Fox News)

The America is so unreasonably dialed into the UNPROVEN analogy, they fail to deliver the news about easier to access proof about Obama Administration spying on Conservatives. If it wasn’t for Trump-haters rolling over from the Obama Administration, Obama’s treasonous activities undoubtedly draw a picture that would make Benedict Arnold blush.

Here is a suspicion from a Conservative U.S. Senator that has zero traction on the Leftist Mainstream Media (MSM): Senator Rand Paul believes Obama used American Intelligence to spy not only on him during his Presidential campaign but also on other Senators and SCOTUS Justices.

Senator Rand Paul and Judge Andrew Napolitano drop Bombshells: Obama Administration was Spying on Other Senators Too

May 15, 2017

The illegal government spying story continues to grow and metastasize and could soon take on a life of its own.

In fact, Senator Paul has discovered at least one other Senator who was most certainly surveilled by the Obama administration.

This past week, Senator Rand Paul revealed that he had asked the White House, and the House and Senate Intelligence committees to look into the possibility that he and other presidential candidates and politicians had been unlawfully surveilled by the Obama administration.

“I know one other senator who’s already confided to me that he was surveilled by the Obama administration, including his phone calls,” Senator Paul told Fox News on Friday“So when this all comes out, if there are political figures from the opposition party, it’s a story bigger than any of the allegations with regard to Russian collusion Its about your own government spying on the opposition party, that would be enormous if true. I dont know the truth. Weve asked the intel committees, House and Senate, and I’ve also asked the White House, because there is this whole discussion of Susan Rice unmasking people,” Paul said.

On Monday, Judge Andrew Napolitano explained on the Fox Business Network that Senator Paul is likely right and that many others were likely surveilled as well. Specifically, Judge Napolitano mentioned that former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia believed that he and the other Justices were under constant surveillance.

Justice Scalia told me that he often thought the court was being surveilled. And he told me that probably four or five years ago If they had to unmask Senator Pauls name to reveal a conversation he was having with a foreign agent and the foreign agent was hostile to the United States they can do that. That’s not what he’s talking about. They’re talking about unmasking him when he’s having a conversation with his campaign manager when he’s running in the Republican primary.

This is pretty disgusting stuff folks. This kind of government overreach is tyranny and it’s the kind of thing that we’re supposed to hold our leaders accountable for.

One Liberal Justice Away



Justin Smith writes of the dangers to America’s Constitutional Republic as created by our Founding Fathers, if Obama successfully places another Left Wing Activist Justice on the Supreme Court. This is an awesome Editorial!

One Liberal Justice Away

By Justin O. Smith
Sent: 3/10/2016 12:00 PM

"Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question."  - Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835

So much more than the Office of the U.S. President is at stake in the November election. The direction of a partisan U.S. Supreme Court is also a consideration, since the next president will quite likely select two or three of the next Justices; and if the Progressive Democrats and their unconstitutional and anti-constitution agenda control the Court, the future for our children will be damaged and liberty in America will be in grave danger.

Too many Justices from years past to the present have abandoned objective reason and impartial arbitration concerning our fundamental law, and they have consistently produced rulings that were distorted by their own personal feelings and prejudices, especially in cases seen as representing some aspect of "social justice." This has resulted in the Supreme Court overstepping its own Constitutional authority by creating new de facto law through its rulings. And, when the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court cannot read the same law in the same way on the same day from the same Constitution and U.S. legal code, splitting along party lines in almost every case, we no longer have a court of law -- we have an elitist body politic.

For thirty years, Justice Antonin Scalia opposed the judicial activists of the Supreme Court, until his death in February. He rigorously defended the U.S. Constitution in all areas, irrespective of the issue. His strong adherence to the fundamental law of the Constitution stood in stark contrast to those who viewed the Constitution as an infinitely malleable "living document", and he opposed all who attempted to turn the latest left wing fads into the law of the land.

In past years, Democrats have called on Supreme Court nominees to accept Roe v. Wade as a super-precedent more fundamental than the Constitution itself. But in a 2009 interview, Scalia suggested that state constitutional amendments may take precedence to prevent abortions, effectively overruling Roe v. Wade; he also noted that nothing in the Constitution, especially in light of the 9th and 10th Amendments, specifically delegates the power to fund abortions to the federal government. So under what constitutional authority does the federal government mandate abortion policies over the states?

To paraphrase Senator Ted Cruz, America is one liberal justice away from having Her religious liberties erased and from the Supreme Court forcing us to violate our religious conscience upon pain of a fine or imprisonment. America is one liberal justice away from open abortion on demand -- one liberal justice away from the Ten Commandments being erased from the countryside and from every government building wherever they are found -- one liberal justice away from our Second Amendment being eradicated and one liberal justice away from U.S. law becoming subservient to The Hague and international law. [Bold Italic emphasis is Blog Editor’s]

Under the Leftist agenda, homosexual "marriage" is sanctioned by unelected judges, the innocent unborn can be murdered, gun ownership is only for the government, healthcare penalties to coerce behavior are taxes, religious liberty only protects private belief and the president can rewrite U.S. law at will.

In this political environment, the Republicans are well within their rights to reject all of Obama's nominations to the Supreme Court, since Obama treats jurisprudence as a weapon of political warfare. In 2006 and well before the midterm elections, Obama, then a Senator, filibustered Justice Samuel Alito and demanded a 60-vote threshold; and, since his election in 2008, Obama has brazenly abused executive power and ignored Congress, in his race to embed his hard-left agenda within our American culture and force a fundamental transformation away from our Founding Principles.

Let's not forget that then-Senators John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and 21 colleagues joined Obama against Alito. Let's not forget Obama's explanation that the Constitution requires "an examination of a judge's philosophy, ideology and record", as he criticized Alito as "somebody who is contrary to core American values."

Nobody is more "contrary to core American values" than Justice Elena Kagan, an Obama nominee, who advocated for the acceptance of the integration of some aspects of Sharia law into the U.S. jurisprudence in 2006 when she was the Dean of the Harvard School of Law.

Does anyone really believe that Justice Sotomayor exemplifies "core American values"?

The Democrats are two-faced, when it concerns the Supreme Court, they fight dirty and they fight for keeps. They have two standards for judicial appointments - one for themselves and another for Republicans, but now they are crying "foul."

So what if the Democrat controlled Senate under Pres. Ronald Reagan confirmed Justice Anthony Kennedy on February 3,1988? They only did so after excoriating and brutally impugning the honorable reputations of Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg.

Obsessed with identity politics and social justice, make no mistake, the brawlers in the Democratic Party, such as Senators Schumer and Reid, would be blocking Republican nominations, if the situation was reversed. In fact, they did filibuster one of Bush's federal court nominees, Miguel Estrada, in 2003, simply because they thought he might make it to the Supreme Court one day. And more significantly, Obama voted against John Robert's nomination because of Robert's "overarching political philosophy."

It is also worth noting that despite the Democrats' insistence that Justice Scalia's seat must be filled quickly, the Court is designed to function with very few Justices, if necessary, and it has throughout history. In 1789 there were only six Justices, but a quorum of four was required to do the Court's business. In 1801 there were five Justices; ten existed in 1863 and Court held seven in 1866: There is no such thing as a rule of nine.

Think of all the narrow 5-4 decisions in recent history that upheld fundamental rights such as religious liberty, freedom of speech and the Second Amendment, and one will see this 2016 election to be an historic juncture of the utmost importance to America. Therefore, U.S. Senators have the obligation to the American people to prevent the confirmation of any liberal justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, who would use the Court like a continuing constitutional convention. They are obligated to defend the U.S. Constitution against all who would dismiss our rule of law in favor of their own arbitrary, arrogant and authoritarian rule of men, and this requires U.S. Senators to reject any of Obama's radical judicial activists for a lifetime on the Supreme Court: Senators have the duty to advise and consent, not to say "yes."

Detectives Just Revealed Stunning Red Flag In Scalia’s Death- ‘I Almost Fell Out Of My Chair’



Yesterday I bucked mainstream conventional wisdom that Justice Antonin Scalia died of “natural causes”. The title I chose was “Scalia Conspiracy”. There I excerpted what I feel are some credible theories that need answers but no one is asking the questions. Western Journalism posted a Jack Davis report that has some of the same unanswered questions except he actually reports the thoughts of more credible experts than Conspiracy Theory promoters as I.

Detectives Just Revealed Stunning Red Flag In Scalia’s Death- ‘I Almost Fell Out Of My Chair’

February 16, 2016 at 12:50pm

Homicide investigators are criticizing the procedures followed by Texas authorities after Saturday’s death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia, 79, was founded dead Saturday while staying at the exclusive resort ranch owned by John Poindexter.

“We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled,” Poindexter told the San Antonio Express-News Sunday. “It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap.”

Scalia was declared dead of “natural causes” by Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who never saw the body. No autopsy was ordered.

“I took a look at the report and I almost fell out of my chair,” said Bill Ritchie, a retired deputy chief and former head of criminal investigations for the Washington, D.C. police.

“It’s not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is,” said retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo.

“He’s not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head,” Tufo said. “So I think under the circumstances it’s not unreasonable to request an autopsy.”

“How in the world can that Texas judge, not even seeing the body, say that this is a heart attack?” Ritchie said, noting Guevara’s initial comments that the death was a heart attack. She later changed that opinion to “natural causes.”

“A US marshal can’t tell you. You need a medical professional. If this was Joe Blow, you say OK, 79 years of age, health problems, maybe natural causes. But this is a sitting justice of the Supreme Court!” Ritchie added.

“How do you know that person wasn’t smothered? How do you know it’s not a homicide until you conduct an investigation? You have to do your job. Once you go through that process, you can conclude that this is a naturally occurring death,” Ritchie said.

“I used to be an instructor in the homicide school. Every death investigation you are handling, you consider it a homicide until the investigation proves otherwise,” he said.

William Gheen, president of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee, said “an extensive autopsy and toxicology examination should be both immediate and mandatory.”

“We do not contend there is a conspiracy, we contend that there should be no doubts, and the way authorities and the media are rushing conclusions will leave major doubts and legitimate concerns about a death that could lead to a radical political transformation of America to the left,” Gheen said.

Scalia Conspiracy

VIDEO: Scalia Was Found with 'Pillow Over His Head'



Posted by DAHBOO777
Published on Feb 14, 2016




A first-time guest to the Cibolo Creek Ranch, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was animated and engaged during dinner Friday night, as one of three dozen invitees to an event that had nothing to do with law or politics, according to the ranch owner.


Just hours later, he would be found dead of apparent natural causes, which media outlets reported on Sunday was a heart attack.


"He was seated near me and I had a chance to observe him. He was very entertaining. But about 9 p.m. he said, 'it's been a long day and a long week, I want to get some sleep," recalled Houston businessman John Poindexter, who owns the 30,000-acre luxury ranch.


When Poindexter tried to awaken Scalia about 8:30 the next morning, the judge's door was locked and he did not answer. Three hours later, Poindexter returned after an outing, with a friend of Scalia who had come from Washington with him.


"We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled," said Poindexter.

With Leftists still swooning with love and affection for President Barack Hussein Obama and his transformation agenda for America, Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead with a pillow on his head at a Dem Party supporter’s billionaire ranch in Texas.


Justice Scalia would have been pivotal in preserving the integrity of the U.S. Constitution on some upcoming issues for this year’s Supreme Court docket:


Scalia had been set to rule on a number of very controversial and divisive cases before the Supreme Court, now evenly split 4-4 between conservatives and liberals:
1. Abortion: Next month, SCOTUS will hear the most significant abortion case since 1992, centering on Texas, on whether states can legally impose restrictions on abortion that do not put an “undue burden” on access to the procedure.


2. Obamacare: SCOTUS is expected to rule on Zubik v. Burwell, on whether Obamacare’s requirement that employers must provide female employees with no-cost access to birth control, including abortifacients, violates religious nonprofits’ religious freedom. The plaintiffs include the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington and the Little Sisters of the Poor.


3. Unions: Scalia was the swing vote in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a case challenging the legality of “fair share” fees that unions charge nonmembers to cover costs associated with collective bargaining.


4. Affirmative Action: In Fisher v. University of Texas, on the use of affirmative action and race in college admissions, Scalia had argued that affirmative action shortchanges minorities by putting them into an environment where they cannot perform as well as other students.


5. Separation of church and state: In Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia v. Pauley, on whether religious schools can continue to be denied publicly-funded grants, Scalia had argued that, if a democratic majority wants to, banning state lawmakers from funding religious schools would impede the free exercise of religion.


6. Climate change: One of Scalia’s last official acts as a justice was to deliver a large dent in Obama’s climate legacy, providing one of five votes to stay the Clean Power Plan, which regulates carbon emissions from power plants.


7. Immigration: In April, SCOTUS will argue a challenge to Obama’s use of executive orders to allow up to 5 million more illegals to apply for quasi-legal status and work permits.


8. Gun rights: The National Rifle Association maintains that Scalia’s death puts gun rights in jeopardy because, given the ages of SCOTUS judges, the next president will have a chance at choosing four judges. The NRA plans to spend over $20 million on the upcoming election to push gun rights. “In my view, all the chips are on the table in this election because the impact is who gets the Supreme Court,” said the NRA’s chief, Allan D. Cors in an interview with Secrets this month.




I don’t know your thoughts, but when an individual who is pivotal to thwart the Obama transformation is found with a pillow on the top of his head is found dead, there is something rotten in Denmark ... or perhaps rotten in Washington DC.


Check out some of these tidbits of information:


JUDGE SCALIA’S DEATH TO BE RULED A “HEART ATTACK”



The more we learn about the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the more that the whole thing grows more and more suspicious. First,  a seemingly healthy Scalia dies unexpectedly in Texas, but amazingly no one wants an autopsy. Then, under the cover of darkness, his dead body is whisked away to be embalmed before anyone can examine it. Why would this be?  Lastly, Judge Scalia was found with a “pillow over his head” as if he had been suffocated to death. (SUDDEN DEATH OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA DESCENDS INTO CONSPIRACY; By Geoffrey Grider; Now the End Begins; 2/14/16)


Here is the Obama and ranch owner/billionaire Poindexter connection:


The photo below is Barack Obama shaking hands with a man by the name of John Poindexter, a Texas millionaire businessman also noted for being a donor to the Democrat Party and who also received an award from Barack Obama related to his military service in Vietnam.


Poindexter is the owner of the very Cibolo Creek Ranch Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead at earlier this week.



(Above photo from a Houston Business Journal report, August 15th, 2010)



It has been long-standing policy for the Obama administration to grant presidential awards to those who are among the president’s most prized political donors.


It was Poindexter who reportedly was among those who initially discovered the Justice’s body, and who then coordinated with local officials to have Justice Scalia declared dead via a phone conversation with the area medical examiner – but without an actual medical examination of the body.


Mr. Poindexter was also said to be the primary point man between the ranch location and federal authorities who were notably slow to arrive on scene.




Judge Guevara ruled Scalia’s death as natural causes without even the body. She made the ruling over the phone:


What’s more, following Scalia’s death at the remote Cibolo Creek Ranch near the Mexican border, authorities said it took hours to find a justice of the peace. When Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez finally tracked down Guevara on her cellphone Saturday afternoon, she told WFAA-TV she was shopping.


“He says, ‘Judge, I’m at Cibolo Creek Ranch, and a Supreme Court Justice has just passed away, and I need someone here immediately. Both justices of the peace are out of town at this time,’” Guevara recalled to the station.




Guevara acknowledged to the Post that she pronounced Scalia dead over the phone on Saturday without seeing his body. She told WFAA she had planned to head to the ranch but that a U.S. Marshal told her over the phone, “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge. If you’re asking for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify.”


Guevara told the station before deciding that she wanted details of Scalia’s death.


“As part of my investigation one of the things I did ask the sheriff and the U.S. Marshal: ‘Were there any signs of foul play? And they said, ‘Absolutely not.’ At that time, I still wanted to be careful and asked them if [Scalia’s] physician would call me,” Guevara told WFAA.



The Post reported that another justice of the peace was called but couldn’t get to Scalia’s body in time — and that she would have made a different decision. “If it had been me … I would want to know,” Juanita Bishop, a justice of the peace in Presidio, Texas, told the paper in a Sunday interview.


But Guevara cited Texas laws that permit a justice of the peace to declare someone dead without seeing the body, the Post said.




So recapping: Justice Antonin Scalia had a robust conversation at dinner but left the table saying he was a bit under the weather. In the morning the next day John Poindexter knocked on Scalia’s door to rouse him for breakfast - no answer. Poindexter leaves and comes back - according to him - a few hours knocks on the door - still no answer. I’m not really sure what he did to enter the locked room unless he had some kind of key. As Pondexter enters, he sees Scalia in bed covered but with a pillow mysteriously on Scalia’s face. Poindexter a billionaire but not a doctor, determines Scalia is not able to be resuscitated so calls the Federal authorities.


“He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” he said. Scalia,79, did not have a pulse and his body was cold, and after consulting with a doctor at a hospital in Alpine, Poindexter concluded resuscitation would have been futile, He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend. (ibid. Now the End Begins)


More timeline inconsistency:




• After lunch on Feb. 13: Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez reached Judge Guevara in Alpine on her mobile phone.


• At 1:52 p.m., Feb. 13: Guevara pronounced Scalia dead. She had planned to drive to the ranch — about 30 minutes south of Marfa — but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge,” because she was not asking for an autopsy, having determined Scalia had died of “natural causes”.


• At 8 p.m., Feb. 13: Scalia’s personal physician called and spoke with Guevara.


• Night of Feb. 13: Scalia’s body was transported by van from Cibola Creek Ranch to El Paso, Texas.


• At 3:30 a.m., Sunday, Feb. 14: Scalia’s body arrived at Sunset Funeral Home in El Paso, where it was promptly embalmed, less than 24 hours after Poindexter had found the body in the suite. (No autopsy for Scalia because his body is already embalmed! By Dr. Eowyn; Fellowship of the Minds; 2/15/16)


Okay, I realize I realize that I am walking on the area that all Leftists call Right Wing delusions and undoubtedly a majority of Conservative pundits and politicians also will publicly say this is unsubstantiated Conspiracy mumbo-jumbo. Regardless, for me, this sounds more like the continuous cover-ups and denials unloaded on voters and especially Dem Party loyalists that has emanated from Obama (and ironically both Clintons earlier) since the 2008 campaign right up to this present time.
