In a motion in Washington, D.C., federal court, lead plaintiff Larry Klayman said his amended complaint addressed an issue of standing raised by the D.C. Circuit, which in August reversed the district court’s 2013 order granting him a preliminary injunction. Klayman asked U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon to grant another injunction…

(Palm Beach, Florida, August 11, 2015). Today, as predicted by many in the media who have been following this case, Klayman v. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation (15-cv-80388 S.D. Fla), a federal judge appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton, dismissed a lawsuit, filed under the Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and other causes of action, which was based on the Clintons’ acceptance of money from foreign and other donors in exchange for favors while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

(Palm Beach, Florida, July 23, 2015) – A lawsuit by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch seeks to block Barack Obama’s dangerous treaty with Iran from being unconstitutionally ratified through a Congressional law that surrendered power to Obama. The lawsuit by Florida citizen Klayman names his U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson and Congressman Patrick Murphy, who all voted for the bill, and Obama who signed it into law. These representatives acted in disregard of their obligations to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Rubio is even raising money opposing the treaty although he voted for the bill that makes it possible.…

The six U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to uphold ObamaCare should be impeached for abandoning the rule of law, explains attorney Larry Klayman. Klayman stated Thursday morning: “These six Justices have violated their own long-established rules of interpretation for applying statutes to instead advance their own political objectives or burnish their public persona. Such personal goals corrode the role of the Court. The Justices abandoned the rule of law and have become merely a political focus group.” As Justice Antonin Scalia makes clear in his dissent, the Justices actually rewrote the Affordable Care Act instead of interpreting it. Scalia…

By Yvonne Wingett Sanchez The Republic May 13, 2015 Dale Grissom never expected his family to be caught up in a federal court case involving Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But here they are, thanks to a craving for Mexican food from their favorite restaurant, Someburros, back in summer 2012. The events of that day led to an important disclosure during civil-contempt proceedings last month against Arpaio in U.S. District Court. Under questioning by Judge G. Murray Snow, Arpaio confirmed a probe into remarks allegedly made to the Grissoms by the judge’s wife at the restaurant. The contempt hearings have…

(Phoenix, Arizona, May 11, 2015).

Murray Snow for alleged egregious and continuing ethical violations and extra-judicial bias and prejudice in the ongoing contempt proceedings in Melendres v. Arpaio, et al.
