"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.

Man, I'd be pissed too. Going from a very nice income to negative cash flow! F*ck that!A guy spends his life building up a respectable business, generating a decent income that he can be proud of, buy a nice home with, live a nice life, and BOOM! A divorce takes it ALL away just like that...and the person taking it is his ex-wife, who (and I don't know this part of the story) most likely did NOTHING to build that business?? If she was a critical component of building that business to where it is, then she she should have a part ownership, and they could have it appraised, and he could buy out her portion, and call it good.

Seriously this makes me pissed when I see those numbers. If this judge really was crooked, and is too narrow-minded or prejudiced to look at the evidence in cases, then he needs to go. Yeah, violence is not the answer, but now that Weller's been shot, hopefully we're rid of him, and he won't be allowed back on the bench.

What are we doing voting for judges and having them run election campaigns anyways?? It just doesn't sound right. I know that's how it is, but maybe the system needs to be changed. ANY campaign contribution to a judge can be seen as bribery as far as I'm concerned.

That is just one order. The first financial order that was posted is just one of 20 or more things that were Nazi like against Darren. By the way anyone who understands the law would know that he couldn't appeal until the entire case was finished including custody and the divorce decree issues. That is why those two things were stratigically put off by Shawn Meador into the future so as to keep Darren from any protection from another court. It is my understanding that he was in the middle of an emergency writ but those are very rarely issued.

They make up rules and they are the umpires so when they are crooked like in this case one has absolutely no chance at coming out without being robbed broke, put into BK, jailed, extorting the people around you, and then kidnapping your children. There is one place where one has no constitutional rights and that is in the 4 walls of the divorce court. It is just legalized organized crime.

It was not just with Darren but read fatherunite.org and you will see hundreds of stories of the crimes that divorce industry are inflicting on mostly men thoughtout this country. They are plain out crimes. Read them and weep for crimes being waged against mostly men in this country.

MARK!Thanks for making the financial situation clear for those who just don't get it!

Mark, your points are good ones, but it's going to be hell to convince the general public. Have you thought of sending a letter to the editor of the RGJ with this financial breakdown?

[S.]

RGJ is not interested in the truth, anymore than any other news media. The divorce papers are public information, yet no one is referring to them before writing their news stories, which are filled with incorrect information.

[expose]

Mark you're right about the media not giving a crap. RGJ is severely feminized and spins things accordingly

[Richard Gammick]

So much for trust. What Now? Call me.

[S.]

That comment was posted by me, "a female" ! But I do agree the "system" is biased against men.

[S.]

Mr. Gammick is refering to Darren going back on his word to turn himself in to police, in Mexico.

[S.]

Any word, Mr.Gammick???

[OMGOSH!]

Has it occured to anyone on this blog that Mr. Gammick is posting things to Mack via this blog for a reason? I bet one of these people who have been posting is acually Mr. Mack. If this is true, and Mr. Mack you are reading this - please listen to Mr. Gammick, he said he was a long time friend of yours, I will bet you can trust him. Also, could you give us a hint as to which posts were yours? Just curious. Please turn yourself in!I am sure your children are worried about their dad. Think of them and not yourself.

Man, if I was Darren and reading this, I would keep on going. He's got nothing but troubles ahead...like life in prison, possibly death penalty. I don't blame him for not turning himself in. He already got ass raped by Judge Weller, and you expect him to turn himself in to get ass raped again, for the next 30 years by big hairy dudes? I don't think so.I would learn to speak spanish, buy a little villa in nicarauga or somewhere far away. Hell, I'd move to Vietnam or Thailand. I'd find some dude in Mexico to send mail to, and that guy could send it on to his kids in the states, to maintain his anonymity.

Does anyone know about the steroid rage rumors. lots of gym time, major muscle gain over 6 mo?Does anyone think a judge shooter is going to get a fair shake in Reno or anywhere? Could someone promise him no death penalty in writing? He clearly went nuts but theres enough stuff to pin a premedidation on the second crime. Wont the judge call in every chip hes got to fry this guy? I doubt the judge feels guilty that his decisions are part of why this happened but maybe he does and will have some forgiveness for a guy that tried to kill him. I doubt Darren is excited about relying on the mercy of any Washoe court system righf now. Any input welcome

[Thankful]

Thanks DB, No surprise that my ex's lawyer is on there...

Mark-Thank you for breaking it down for us, we will never see that on the news.

[maybe]

OHMGOSH!-I think its "C'mon People" and I agree

[wannabe lawyer]

Who says "Gosh"?Totally Gay. I mean that in a non-sexual harassment sort of way. lolYeah, you guys are definitely in Reno.

[expose]

I bet you are right about C'mon people. That maybe an accurate portrayal of his psyche even if its not him

[:)]

OMGOSH! You may be the smartest person on the blog! You'll have Mack back....soon. Reno is safe once again. :)

[oversight]

interesting day.the national news is potraying him as a monster who killed his wife in front of his kid. it would seem more likely that he was driven insane by the legal system. my own axe to grind is that the truth about the family court procedures here need be seen as part of this travesty. unless he disappears for good or dies soon his version of this will come out. i think he has posted on this site too. certainly some of his friends have. there truly has not been enough said about what drove him mad.

[justmy.02]

mack turned himself in and is being transported back to reno today

[justmy.02]

i certainly hope the truth comes out about everything that has been alleged to take place in his courtroom.(weller) it would absolutly be a travesty to focus entirely on exposing mack to be an animal and just sweep everything else under the rug, but we know birds of a feather flock together. the judicial system is most likely not going to work very hard at exposing one of thier brothers.

[October]

Mr. Gammick, thank you for not playing Nancy Grace's games. I was proud of you. Did you actually hang up on her? Good luck to you in all you do.

[OMGOSH!]

THANK YOU DARREN!

[Reno]

:) -Reno (and the rest of the world) has always been safe.We didn't do anything to piss him off...

[wannabe lawyer]

oh shit!He turned himself in???Is that verified?Let the ass rapings begin.Mack will face years and years of anal destruction. Meanwhile, Judge Weller will probably be back on the bench in no time, messing up peoples lives. Folks, this is Justice! God bless America!
