Carter shows his ethics: hires lawyer from Obama firm, as clerk Oct. 1st

thepostnemail ^ | 10/17/09 | John Charlton

[blueyon]

In a stunning blow to the impartiality of the American Judicial system, Federal Judge David O. Carter, who is hearing the case Barnett vs. Obama, in the Central District, Southern Division Court at Santa Ana, California, has just hired a lawyer who works for a law firm where Robert F. Bauer, one of Obama’s top lawyers is a partner. And that, just days before the Oct. 5, 2009 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, in which his demeanor radically changed, according to Dr. Orly Taitz, esq., lead counsel for the Plaintiffs.

Siddharth Velamoor is the lawyer chosen by Carter to serve as one of his two official clerks, from Oct. 1, 2009, till Sept. 30, 2010, according to Wikipedia. Velamoor is listed as an associate with Perkins Coie, LLP’s office in Seattle, Washington. It is not clear if he has broken his relations with the firm.

C, is a partner of Perkins Coie, LLP’s office in Washington, D.C.. His bio at the company identifies him as holding the Chair of the Political Law group at the firm; general counsel to Obama’s Campaign for America and general counsel to the Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Bauer’s wife is none other than Anita Dunn, the Whitehouse Communication’s Director.

Good question.

[Congressman Billybob]

Isn't this the same law firm to which some nasty e-mails were traced back, last week? It was attack communications to defend ACORN as I recall.

Chicago IS the Olympics. The Olympics of corrupt politicians, lawyers, community organizers, czars in the White House, whatever.

Looking back at where he went to high school, I'm suspecting Velamoor is a citizen ...

However, some of the questions I have include:

What did he report to Judge Carter on his resume and application as his educational background?

Did he report that he was out of the country? For security clearances, it generally matters.

Does Judge Carter know of the relationship between Velamoor and the man who is about to become the Chief White House counsel?

History shows us that in instances of corporate and government espionage, it's rarely perpetrated by a SENIOR level employee at the organization. It's normally conducted by a lower-level employee whose only qualifications to act as a spy is that he has access to the information, and can be leveraged with a carrot AND/OR a stick by whom he's being asked or coerced to report the information.

To a new, junior attorney at a law firm, the carrot could be in the form of a promise of a promotion if he "cooperates".

The stick could be something like the veiled threat of having a secret exposed to the State Bar, which might jeopardize the career advancement of a vibrant, young lawyer.

Coincidence? Looks like Obama has his inside man to feed him intelligence.

[justiceseeker93]

Looking back at where he went to high school, I'm suspecting Velamoor is a citizen.

Where did he go to high school?

And, BTW, isn't he quite a bit older and more experienced than most judge's law clerks, who generally come straight out of law school?

Where did he go to high school?

Too many.

And they’re as transparent as clear cellophane, and about as subtle. The crackly kind of cellophane.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Has Orly moved to disqualify Judge Carter based on this alleged "conflict of interest"?

Federal law is very clear that, if you think the judge is disqualified, you have to move to recuse him before he rules. She can't wait for his decision on the motion to dismiss and then move to disqualify him-- that would permit the kind of gamesmanship where Orly could accept his ruling if she won and demand a do-over if she lost.

In fact, one of the things Judge Land sanctioned Orly for in the Georgia case was moving to disqulaify him based on his stock ownership after he ruled against her, because she knew of the stock ownership before the ruling.

DEATH OF GANDHI - TIMES EDITORIAL WAS MORE BRUTAL THAN THE ASSASSINATION ITSELF
THE SEATTLE TIMES - Thursday, June 6, 1991
Regarding your May 23 editorial on Rajiv Gandhi’s death:

We in the Indian community were sure that the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi represented violence, brutality and savagery at its worst.

We now stand corrected. Your assassination of India, in your editorial, represents a new, even higher level of violence, brutality and savagery albeit committed with words.

Rajiv Gandhi’s death and your editorial - the language, the hyperbole and the ignorance - both will leave permanent scars on our minds.

Robert Bauer & Sesh Velamoor — Foundations for the Future

There’s Velamoor’s Foundation for the Future…and then an Arab Foundation for the Future that is more than curious and then Robert Bauer’s Foundation for the Future and I have no idea if any of them are actually related.

The ROTHENBERG POLITICAL REPORT – Nathan Gonzales (10-1)

Earlier this year, Republicans were in the conversation stage while Democrats were hitting their stride. This spring a group of former high-level operatives from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee formed the National Democratic Redistricting Trust to lead the legal leg of the party’s redistricting tripod.

The group’s trustees include former DCCC executive directors Brian Wolff and John Lapp and former DCCC Political Director Peter Cari. Prominent Democratic attorney Bob Bauer, who is married to White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, is the chief counsel for the group.

…Foundation for the Future, a 527 organized in July 2006, will continue to lead the analytical component of redistricting for the Democrats. The coalition, which includes the Association of Federal, State, County and Municipal Employees, the National Committee for an Effective Congress and other Democratic groups, seeks to provide Democratic caucuses in each state with data, mapmaking software and demographic projections.
