In 2012, Sierra Pacific Industries was ordered to pay $55 million to the United States and transfer 22,500 acres of land to the United States government after the Department of Justice launched a massive lawsuit against the company. The DOJ argued that the company was responsible for a massive fire that destroyed 65,000 acres of land in California.
Since the beginning of the case, however, Sierra Pacific has insisted that the fire started elsewhere and that the Department of Justice was being deceitful in their prosecution.
Now, new evidence showing an outrageous miscarriage of justice has emerged, including the DOJ's interest in gaining large "revenue" from a "deep pocket:" large companies. In other words, the basis of the lawsuit was not justice, but rather making money for the government.
In a stunning turn of events, Judge Morrison C. England Jr. agrees that the appearance impropriety occurred. He has taken a second look at the case and ordered the recusal of every single federal judge in the Eastern District of California.
He wrote in his ruling, "Based upon facts alleged in the Motion and accompanying Declarations and Exhibits, the impartiality of the District and Magistrate Judges in the Eastern District might reasonably be questioned... Accordingly, all District and Magistrate Judges in the Eastern District of California are RECUSED from hearing case number 2:09-cv-02445 and all related matters."
Judge England has referred the case to Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski.

I just want to know when Holder will get fitted for his orange suit?!
This sounds like a good deal. Let’s hope something will come of it.
Throw the whole lot of them in jail except for Obama, Jarrett, Pelosi, and Reid. I can’t say what I want to because I don’t want a flashbang thrown in my door...
A George Bush appointee. Surprising.
Now when is Judge England going to be audited?
This book exposes the me-first Holder using the Justice Dept and US agencies to profit themselves and Dummycrats.
The Obo/Holder/Dummy criminal MO: In his new book, "Extortion," author Peter Schweitzer writes about Obozo and Holder, using the Justice Dept and assorted govt agencies to extort Big Money ....threatening jailtime unless the targets fork over billions.
He wrote in his ruling, "Based upon facts alleged in the Motion and accompanying Declarations and Exhibits, the impartiality of the District and Magistrate Judges in the Eastern District might reasonably be questioned... Accordingly, all District and Magistrate Judges in the Eastern District of California are RECUSED from hearing case number 2:09-cv-02445 and all related matters."The judge agreed with and signed the order, he didn't compose it.
His justification, at this point, is "seriousness of the charge," coupled with admissible evidence supporting the charge. He recused himself too.
I've read the 100 page memorandum of law, and the US Attorneys involved should be impeached, removed from office, and be disqualified from ever holding an office of trust. They wouldn't be the first US attorneys impeached. Beyond that, there is a question of disbarrment for unethical conduct.
The conduct of Cal-Fire is also incredible. A government-enabled shake down operation.
Waiting for the crusading reporters at NYTimes and WaPo to muckrake this fever swamp! Waiting... waiting... waiting...wai(ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)
Just think what Trey Gowdy would achieve as Cruz’ AG.
Rivers of criminal blood.
wow, a total disrespect for the ENTIRE judiciary of eastern district of California.
Time to break up the 9th into 3 or 4 new districts.
California’s reward for routinely and summarily handing over its 54 electoral votes to Liberals.
You probably won’t have to did to far to find Pelosi’s name in THIS soup.
Amen.
We need to recuse the federal judges from all the gay marriage decisions.
Not a chance. Note the case got referred to the chief of the Ninth Circus Court, er Ninth Circuit Court. There it will be buried.
Are you kidding? Alex Kozinski is one of the good guys. He left communism, and has no tolerance for its reappearance in the US.
It Is Time For The Congress To Re-establish it’s constitutional authority
While the talkies, talk radio show hosts, need to remind “US” of this.. Members of the House and Senate also seem to forget. While those selected to head various federal departments of government are recomended by the incomming POTUS (president of the United States).
Such candidates are constitutionaly required to be approved by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent.. Those appointed then are also sworn to uphold, protect,serve, and support the constitution. Not the executive branch. .
These appointees can and should refuse any executive order.Or allow the executive branch create a political appointee (Tzars) who over rides their congressional authority. Particularly. If and when that executive order is designed to ignore existing congressional legislation which defines a departments jurisdiction or specific purpose protecting the interests of the country . Which places the country in danger, or minimizes the value of citizenship, or places its citizens in clear and eminent danger.
Therefore they and their respective departments must be held answerable to both houses of congress which funds these operations. And, should be held in contempt, censure, and impeachment and the funds witheld if refused to comply.
Obama and Jarrett should be extradited to Egypt after the next President takes office.
I fear you are probably correct.
Sounds like Eric Holder has learned well from Jessi Jackson.
