The '''United States Justice Foundation''' (USJF), founded in 1979 "by attorneys seeking to advance the [[conservative]] viewpoint in the judicial arena," is a "nonprofit public interest, legal action organization dedicated to instruct, inform and educate the public on, and to litigate, significant legal issues confronting America."
==Legal Record==
According to its website, since 1980, USJF
*has submitted testimony to the U.S. Senate on every [[Supreme Court]] appointee and sponsored conferences on a variety of important legal issues.
*published studies and reports on topical issues and distributes them free of charge to opinion leaders, students and the general public.
*has contributed directly and indirectly to legal defense efforts in many celebrated cases involving fundamental conservative principles.
==Political Assassinations 'OK'==
"As the U.S. seeks to find [[terrorist]] leader [[Osama bin Laden]], 'dead or alive,' as [[George W. Bush|President Bush]] said, a public-interest legal watchdog group is calling for the formal lifting of the [[executive order]] that banned [[political assassination]]s of this kind.
"The U.S. Justice Foundation says such targeted killings are not prohibited by the U.S. Constitution, the [[Hague Convention]] or the [[United Nations]] Charter.
"In a paper written by [[Gary Kreep]], the executive director of the group, and [[Richard D. Ackerman]], litigation counsel for the organization, the case is made for President Bush to overturn Executive Orders 11905 and 12333, signed by President [[Gerald R. Ford|Gerald Ford]] in 1976."
