"More Bad Judges"

Jack Newfield of The Nation has a piece about the Bush administration's latest crop of federal judicial nominees. Needless to say, he does not approve, concluding:

Bush is trying to transform America through lifetime judicial appointments for this biased batch and their clones. The bottom line is that the reckless Bushies are willing to violate computer privacy and vandalize the Bill of Rights to expedite this transformation. George W. Bush was appointed President by the Supreme Court after losing the popular vote by more than 500,000. Now he is trying to use the courts to legislate a mandate the voters never gave him by abusing the power of appointment and ignoring the Constitution's "advise and consent" clause.

"More Bad Judges"? Wow. I've been reading legal blurbs from someone with so little insight concerning judicial quality?

My bad. Live and learn.

I didn't say I agreed with Mr. Newfield. I just posted a link to what he said (as did Howard Bashman at How Appealing before me). I just thought it made for lively reading. Apparently, you did too. Thanks for reading.

I made the assumption that your choice of heading was an editorial agreement with the Nation's premise. I was apparently mistaken (shouldn't comment so late at night, I guess), and I apologize.

I should add that I deal with these FedCrt judges daily, and tend to have (maybe overly) strong views as to what makes a good judge and what makes a bad judge, and dislike the current litmus tests being imposed by the Senate filibusters as being disconnected with the day-to-day output of judges.

And, yes, I enjoy the heck out of your blog. Nice work.

If you live in Washoe County (Reno Nevada) and you are of voting age pay close attention. There is a judge on the bench in family court Chuck Weller. He just got elected but has already proven to be faulty. While trying to get elected he had a go to boy and mouth piece name Jeff Veasley. Jeff Veasley just happens to be good friends with my daughter's father. I believe Jeff was telling Chuck about our family court case throughout the whole election and after Weller took the bench. Yes. I think Weller is on the take. He has been very angry and agressive towards me due to his preivious one sided knowledge of our case. Instead of doing the right thing and removing himself from the case he is staying on the case and favoring my Ex. Pactically undoing everything the honorable Judge Jordan (ret) did before Phuck Weller was elected. There has to be other cases he in bed with one of the parties. Let it be know and post it.

Toni you need to contact me ASAP. This Judge and his conduct needs to be addressed. We have rights and resources. I too have experience with this Judge and his obvious bias against women. I just need your support. nevadapal@hotmail.com

Family court Judge Chuck Weller of Reno NV lied to everyone by saying he was going to defend father's rights to get elected. Once on the bench he has single handed destroyed more GOOD father's with his (shoot from the hip) punishing motions. He takes all statements against fathers as true despite all evidence opposing them and then makes impossible orders which the fathers can never comply with. Then punishes the fathers for not following his impossible order. Everyone should outraged at his bias behavior and do everything that can legally be done to get this HITLER off the bench.

The NEW TERRORISM! Judge Chuck Weller of Washoe County Family Court has people (both men & women) running from his courtroom in TERROR. He threatens to take your children, your freedom, your property!

Weller uses whatever tactics to force you to submit to his imperial demands and tyrannical orders. Every story from each person that I have talked to in my investigation has similar experience. They are terrorized and don't understand why he is being so aggressive when they've done nothing wrong.

Does Weller ever rule on the law or does he just rule on his whims?

Judge Weller came into his court room late after having eaten his lunch for an emergency session that was called. A true emergency. Outside of the court roon waiting was the Governer appointed head of teen sexual abuse, the director of CASA, a medical doctor and my daughter. They were there to expose the sexual abuse of my exwife with my eight year old son. Attorney Todd Torvinen (a major financial contributor to Judge Weller) was there to represent my ex who was not even present. judge weller as he was sitting down at his bench said he had made a decision. Mind you he had not heard a single word from a witness. My attorney said he needed to hear from the witnesses mentioned above and he refused. When I objected, he threatened me with jail time if I did not hand my than 8 year old son over to Attorney Todd Torvinen. All witnesses had sworn affidavits that my son was being molested by my ex and yet Judge Weller released him into her custody. Also, the Masters Judge granted me a Protective Order on this matter.The Master Judge said "your son is at great risk if he returns to his mother." This is only a very small part of the story. Judge Weller is not only incompitent, but a very big danger to all those other children in that situation. I urge people to take this into account.

I was so happy to find this forum! The first comment my mom made when we walked out of Judge Weller's courtroom was "he had his mind made up before he even entered the room". Afterward, I decided to search him on the net just to see if I would find anything. I never expected to come across so much negativity. I honestly thought I was just being overly sensitive! I have another court date with him in the near future, any advice?

C contact us at stopjudicialabuse@hotmail.com. We will give you what we have on him.

I just had a judgement come down from Judge Weller. It is OK, under financail restraining order, for a spouse over a years time deplete community proberty retirement funds to almost nothing for own use, support a significant other, hide banks accounts and income from a financial declartion sworn to be true. All this is OK even proven by financial statements from the financial institutions and tax records. Someone explain community proberty to me again? What I read in the law must have been printed in error according to Judge Weller.

[Reknow]

Judge Weller was one of 5 judges but most important he was there for the Settlement Hearing. Judge Weller allowed Excel produced spreadsheets to be presented by my x-wife as legal financial record of spending down 70K in home equity ( which the court signed on my behalf because of the financial restraining order I was served two weeks prior), allowing the sale of our paid off SUV to purchase a vehicle without my name on the title, loans to my x-wife and total spend down of her retirement account, tax refunds of a joint return, all home contents including my personal things like military records, underwear and a jacket. I understand why they allowed her to pay off her school loans and leave mine unpaid since she finished college while we were married and I just finished mine before the union. What I don't understand is what education degree supported our family while she stayed home with our first born for two years to finish her one year of school. How does anyone in their right mind be so abusive and unfair with the administration of the entrusted legal power they bestow? On the bases of human dignity and the scale of justice to be blindfolded from all feeling and raise your biased gavel toward the strongest entity of any society, the man. We may describe the United States as a “melting pot” but not doubt clouds my mind that you singularly circumscribe it as a “boiling pot”. After 40 years of hard work and the hardest during my 10 years of marriage I wasn't awarded enough to even call a cab, but then I didn't have far to walk since I call the street my home. Once a productive citizen, now just a homeless piece of shit. One who threw away a childhood dream to own a business and provide a better life for his own by beating his wife and molesting his children in the last year of marriage. The hardest to overcome and what the 2nd district can never give back is, the small boy in me who cried because I had no father to play catch with, now cries as a father who has no son to throw a ball to.

“I will not fight with weapons,As to shed the blood of my brother.I will stand steadfast with the truth,My sword absent of its scabbard,At my side and preparedTo become erect andTo defend my name and legacy.”

Judge Weller was shot today in Reno, NV. I think no matter how much this guy makes your life miserable nobody has the right to take his life. Forums like this are good to help people vent, but at times it makes people feel justified to do horrible things like this.

People in family disputes usually blame everyone but themselves for their problems. The ex is always a demon or a criminal. The lawyers are liars and incompetent. The judge is a "Hitler".

People don't have their parental rights taken away for no reason. Trying to sort out all the accusations between bickering ex-spouses must be a really horrible job -- especially now that it comes with the threat of being shot if you disappoint a crackpot who can't handle the verdict and accept responsibility.

[Whisper]

There are always two sides to the story in family disputes.

What gets me is that despite all the fighting, flying accusations, blaming etc., it's the child or children involved that suffer the most.

If parents can work out their problems in a mature manner, seek marriage counseling or whatever, maybe these bitter nasty fights wouldn't have to be settled by a judge, whose judgement is bound to upset one side of the party.

[Spoofer]

So, which one of you guys shot him?

[nottheshooter]

I live near the courthouse,if they have notcaught him yet then they wont.I am very sleepy as I work grave yard, tell them to put the helicopters away
