"If a judge is told by a party to decide his cases in a certain way, or one party can threaten the judge’s job if the case is not decided in that party’s favor, then this central pillar of our democratic society is corroded,” Petersen said at a recent hearing called by the Senate Law and Justice Committee.

A political storm has erupted in Washington state involving a whistleblower who claims she was retaliated against after raising concerns about ObamaCare's implementation.

Patricia Petersen, a hearings officer in the state's Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC), filed a whistleblower complaint alleging coercion and corruption in the OIC, which is tasked with implementing the Affordable Care Act. She said Chief Deputy James Odiorne threatened her job if she didn’t rule the way Commissioner Mike Kreidler -- a supporter of the law -- wanted.

ADVERTISEMENT "If a judge is told by a party to decide his cases in a certain way, or one party can threaten the judge’s job if the case is not decided in that party’s favor, then this central pillar of our democratic society is corroded,” Petersen said at a recent hearing called by the Senate Law and Justice Committee.

If true, James Odiorne needs to go to prison.

Democrats are, of course, lying about this because the only way they can sell Obamacare is to lie about it. But state administrative law judges are supposed to be independent and make decisions based on the law.

Ask Chief Justice John Roberts for details of how that thuggish democrat party ploy affected his ruling on the ACA.
Or ask all those judges who have denied hearing any obozo eligibility challenges in the face of proven forged birth docs. This is the norm under this lawless regime who is following Saul Alinsky’s play book and operating just like Chicago's organized crime syndicate. Obozo said himself; they bring a knife and we bring a gun.

He won't be...unless the People themselves make it so...

I'm afraid our government is completely corrupt...!

IS this satire? Coming from the party that controls the purse strings and can stop every penny of spending on any item it desires? GIVE ME A BREAK.

This is just a natural consequence of what happens when people make careers out of government employment; when you serve Caesar, you serve him when he is an incompetent semi-literate thug as much as when he is a normal American.

I hope she’s got it in writing, video, online, cell phone and throw in a witness would be nice. That’s about how much is needed these days.

Obviously there is a lot of dirt on Roberts. What pisses me off is Bush HAD to know about it when he appointed him.

If we can’t find people to run for election and hold judgeships who are honest with no skeletons in their closets, we’re in big trouble.

John Roberts is being Blackmailed or just afraid that his adopted kids will be exposed for where they came from.

We all know that our Constitution was meant to work under honorable men/women elected to serve in all three branches of government. The mess this country is in is a direct result due to the fact that a majority of those who have served and are now serving in DC have no honor. If they were exposed, most would be classified as out right criminals. Clearly, Obama constantly plays the threat of exposure to get his way.

There is NOT a lot about Roberts.....he’s either Gay or his kids got adopted illegally.
