"Digging into questions about Barack Obama's ... and his gang's efforts to steal the 2012 elections." [27]

Suing the town of Herndon, Virginia to stop a "day laborer" program on the grounds that it may provide employment for illegal aliens.

Criticizing the George W. Bush administration for their guest worker program, obtaining evidence of a spike in illegal immigration denied by the administration.

Initiating a request to the Naval Inspector General for an investigation into the "legitimacy and propriety" of the awards John Kerry received for his service in Vietnam.[28] The inspector general's office subsequently determined that Kerry's awards "were properly approved" and declined to take further action in the matter;[29] the office also responded to Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act request with documentation of its review.[30]

Launched an investigation into any White House's involvement in "branding" of the University of Arizona memorial for the victims of the 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, at which t-shirts bearing the slogan "Together We Thrive" were distributed. Judicial Watch demanded the university send them "any and all communications, contracts or correspondence between the University of Arizona and The White House concerning, regarding or relating to T-shirts bearing the logo 'Together We Thrive: Tucson & America,' distributed to attendees at the January 12, 2011, memorial service". The university replied that the White House had no involvement with the branding of the event, and that the slogan—which Judicial Watch described as "an obvious play on a popular Obama presidential campaign theme"[36]—was devised by a university student.[37]

They're funded by Richard Mellon Scaife. that should tell you how respectable they are.
