    "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.

    I honestly cannot believe that some people actually think that Darren mack is a hero. that is unbelievably inhuman, pitiful, and tragic.

    Mr.Mack was orderd to pay spousal support with money he did not have (Quote 10,000). Bankrupt men with 3 mortgages don't have that kind of money. The judge is obviously a biased criminal tyrant abusing his authority and ruining people's lives just because he can.

    This blog has gone from talking about Judge Weller like actual human beings who are civilized, to talking about him in an uncivilized fashion, to insulting people. Why don't we just get back on topic here? i know for a fact that that is why most of us are at this blog site.

    troll-

    I agree with you for the most part.

    Low-life females (I'd call them women, but they are not women) are one of the biggest problems with the court system. Our courts are pressed for time, so if a female comes in and says "I'm afraid" or "I need money," the guy is toast. No need to prove anything; no chance for the guy to say one word, let alone defend himself. And he will then lose at every turn.

    The other problem is the biased judges who decide a case long before the hearing. Even when given evidence proving the female lied, if the judge even acknowledges the evidence, they still do nothing to reprimand the female. What the female gained by lying remains hers.

    If this is done as someone explained previously because the judges feel to punish the female would in some twisted way somehow punish the children, what a crock!

    The judges do much more damage to what is left of the family unit by rewarding nastiness and degrading the honest parent.

    Are the judges stupid? They don't think the kids see that?

    By the way, I am not a guy. Simply an honest woman who cannot stand the "anti-man" sentiment among too many females and Family Court judges in this world. The men can't all be that bad... we keep dating them, marrying them, and having their children.

    Granted, there are some bad ones out there...

    To the all the honest men and women out there: make sure you figure it out before you say "I do."

    The facts are not aways what they appear.Chuck Weller was never in critical condition. I have inside sourses (physicians at Washoe medical center) that told me the judge suffered a flesh wound. He left the hospital 2 dats later. I have no idae why every new cast repoted "in critical condition" not that it matters; but it does retract attention to the actual real victoms: Exwife, children. I have met darren and it is clear that he snapped. But why, I would investigate the rulings that the judge imposed on this individual as well as a complete review of his record. Maybe he is not the insensitive, wreakless, selfserving, crooked, corrupt, distuctive animal that so many people claim to have been vicomized by. I do know one person that sat before him. She felt like he had made up his mind before hearing any argument what so ever.

    my2centsworth,preach on sista! I agree. Women are the problem with society, and that judge got what was coming

    read this, then tell me that marriage is a good idea for men: www.nomarriage.com

    Basically women, at least the majority of American women, are rotten to the core, and destroy their husbands' masculinity over a long period of time, then when their husbands get too small to be attractive anymore the women divorce and take them for every penny. God bless America.

    Dudes are better off just having longterm girlfriends they can commit to verbally, knock up for a few kids, maintain active sex lives with each other, respect each other's lives, and if they ever break up, they maintain their independence, with no need for a FUCKED UP JUDGE like Weller to mess it up more.

    Marriage in the states is 100% in favor of women. What do men get out of it??? someone, please tell me. Name one advantage men get out of marriage they wouldn't have with a girlfriend.

    FTJ-

    You are most definitely the epitome of what a lack of education can create: a total idiot.

    My posting had to do with honesty and dishonesty.

    By the way, your stupidity is showing and it is not pretty.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commentermy2centsworth
    my2centsworth,you are a 2 cent hag is what you sound like. Instead of being a bitter woman, how about you shut your mouth when a man is talking. I don't think you are very intelligent, especially after I agreed with your assertions that American women are basically selfish and will lie for money and resources that men work for. I also agree with you that Judge Weller was a bad, bad man. Now go talk shit to your cats or something. Or practiuce kaballah or whatever the new trend is for you
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterFUCK THE JUDGE
    FTJ, by this statement "Instead of being a bitter woman, how about you shut your mouth when a man is talking" are you somehow implying that men are better than women? Or that men or more important than women?
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterblondie
    blondie, typical of a woman to mis-interpret a man's words like you just did!! Women, LISTEN TO THE WORDS! DON'T USE YOUR BRAINS TO MAKE SHIT UP THAT WASN'T SAID!!In other words, I was letting her know that I'm the man, and she needs to recognize when I make a statement. As for other dudes, a lot of them are pussies that let women walk all over them, so of course they are not better than women. So I'm not IMPLYING anything. When I talk, people listen. When other dudes talk, ya'll biotches can do what you want. I don't care. Spread your lame feminazi views elsewhere. I'll have none of it
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterFUCK THE JUDGE
    Hey buddy (FTJ) I just asked a question, alright? you just said "In other words, I was letting her know that I'm the man, and she needs to recognize when I make a statement." That in itself sounds like she must listen to you, no matter what, because YOU are the "man" Don't be so full of yourslf. men need to recognize when women make a statement too. I'm not a feminist. I think that men and women are equal. And i think that's the way it should be.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterblondie
    blondie-FTJ is not smart enough to imply anything.He's only capable of spouting off four-letter garbage and stupidity.Just ignore the pathetic little being.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commentermy2centsworth
    you guys "make a statement" alright! sheesh

    ps Men and women are equal, it's just that some are more equal than others. When you learn that, you will understand why Judge Weller got what was coming to him, and why both he and Mack should end up in the penitentiary.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterFUCK THE JUDGE
    Who is more equal than who? my2centsworth, you are right, I'm just trying to understand his point of view in a CIVILIZED way (wink wink FTJ), then i will ignore him
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterblondie
    Interesting coversation, I have to admit that FTJ has a point on marriage. For the most part, when marriages fail, the men get scewed. Divorce is more prayed upon by the legal vultures than any other aspect of life. How many people, have tried to have an amicalble diassaciation of there marriage... Only to have someone invite an attourny who has a hiiden ajenda of creating conflict. Talk about a parrasite. I have seen women get screwed as well, Attounies side with the person that has the most to gain, the other has to deal with it. Answer, marry your financial equal.

    Jeff-Better yet, marry your "moral equal."Finances can change over time.

    When a couple gets divorced, I believe that the mother most likely gets custody of the child because a child knows the mother best. The child was carried by the mother for 9 months. The child was breastfed (if possible) by the mother for a certain period of time. If the husband has to work and the mother stays at home, the child is cared for by the mother. I feel that a child cannot survive without the person it knows best. I feel that it is difficult, but still possible, to survive without a father, which the child knows second best. In very few cases does the father stay home with the child. The mother already has a deep connection to a child when it is inside her. That establishes an unbreakable bond that is hard to survive without.
