Where we Alabamians stand on the law

Where do we Alabamians stand on the law?

I copy and paste below the entirety of Todd Stacy's article Britt adds Judiciary to committee lineup for 119th Congress - Alabama Daily News

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – U.S. Senator Katie Britt will add the Judiciary Committee to her slate of assignments for the 119th Congress, according to an announcement from U.S. Sen. John Thune, the incoming Senate Majority Leader.
That gives the Alabama Republican another major committee assignment in addition to her seats on the Appropriations Committee and Banking Committee. All three of Britt’s committee posts are coveted ones due to their wide range of policy impact.
The Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, immigration and naturalization policy, interstate compacts and much more. Perhaps most notably, it is the body charged with considering all Article III judicial nominations, from district and appellate courts to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Britt welcomed the challenge.
“I am proud my Republican colleagues selected me to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee and am honored to have the opportunity to serve under the leadership of incoming Chairman Chuck Grassley,” Britt said in a statement to Alabama Daily News. “I will work tirelessly to bring Alabama’s conservative values to the forefront of the committee’s decisions, especially when evaluating nominees for the federal judiciary and safeguarding the God-given rights and individual liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution.”
The post will give Britt direct involvement in many of the confirmation proceedings of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet and senior staff level appointments, including attorney general and FBI director.
Grassley, R-Iowa, offered complimentary comments for Britt upon her addition to the committee.
“Katie Britt is a bright legal mind and a dedicated voice for Alabamians. I look forward to working with her on the Senate Judiciary Committee to help restore safety and the rule of law,” Grassley said in a statement provided by Britt’s office.
Her background as an attorney is part of what led Britt to pursuing the seat on Judiciary, she said.
“As an attorney, I am committed to ensuring America’s judicial system is run by those who interpret the law, rather than leftwing activist judges seeking to legislate from the bench,” she said. “I am also looking forward to utilizing my role on the Judiciary Committee to work alongside President Trump to end the border crisis and strengthen immigration enforcement across our nation’s interior. Together, we will make America safe again for hardworking families.”
Republicans this year reclaimed the Senate majority after losing it in the 2022 election.

The core stance on the law of this Alabamian currently is that the President-Elect should be in jail rather than headed to the White House and Congress needs to fulfill its constitutional obligations to counter the unlawful theft of governmental power that the President-Elect has gotten away with. This is elaborated at The Final Battle against Donald J. Trump: Second letter to Katie Britt re Trump and power.

This Alabamian has made extensive efforts to get Alabamians of substance to articulate where they stand on the law. These include many in the Alabama legal profession, including Alabama law school deans and professors, Alabama judges, the Alabama State Bar Bench & Bar Relations Committee, and Alabama district attorneys and U.S. attorneys. Also Alabama Republican and Democratic party organizations and the Alabama business community have been solicited to say where they stand on the law. 

Further, Alabama TV stations and Alabama new journalists have been asked to help find out where Alabamians stand on the law.

All of the foregoing by this Alabamian alone has been to no avail.

This Alabamian needs the help of the other Alabamians to find out where we Alabamians stand on the law.

Please contact me if you want to help out.
