Furthermore, there is nothing whatsoever in any of my blog entries or discussion posts to suggest an unhealthy interest in children. He simply made it up out of nothing.



Most of his posts on these boards are based on nothing, so really, is this surprising?

You've got a point there. I should probably just ignore him altogether, but I think it's really lame that he sought out my blog page and posted something so grievously insulting and irrelevant, and it pisses me off.

Question to Moderator: Does that qualify as Hate Speech?

Two simple facts:

1. The justice system is, and always will be, deeply prejudicial on the basis of the judges' and justices' political beiliefs.

2. Some judges serve at the discretion of politicians, those positions are not, and have never been, stable or safe careers.



Federal judges have life appointments precisely in order to insulate them from political pressures.

It has been a longstanding principle of our system that the execution of the law must be equal and fair. This is why we consider ourselves to respect "the rule of law." The rule of law means we adhere to the principles and rules fixed in statutes, common law and constitutional law regardless of to whom those principles are applied. When leaders and their agents seek to selectively apply (or not apply) the law depending on the party affiliation of the individual subject to such application, those leaders undermine one of the axiomatic principles supporting the republic.

It is imperative that we reject and correct such behavior.


Has anyone pointed out that the people who were fired weren't federal judges but federal prosecutors yet? Even if swedrock had a valid point, it would be totally irrelevant to the thread.

I got too caught up trying to work up a poetic coupling of "heart" and "party of the first part" that'd tug at her heartstrings to get my point heard.
