So, who appointed U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman, the guy who wants would-be presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr. to run around loose? Bill Clinton, of course.
We suspected as much even before doing our research. According to the federal courts' Web site, Friedman won his appointment in 1994.
Oh, and he was "Associated Independent Counsel for the Iran-Contra investigation from 1987 to 1988."
The Washington Times reported in July 1999 that Friedman and the other seven judges appointed by Clinton to the U.S. District Court in Washington "meet privately every month in closed-door sessions that other jurists believe are improper and call into question the court's impartiality."
One veteran courthouse official familiar with the sessions told the Times: "I cannot imagine any legitimate reason for them to meet together once a month, even socially. It's not only in bad taste, it certainly has the appearance of impropriety. It's hard to imagine any rationale for these meetings."
The Times reported: "Another court official said they 'reek with impropriety.' Concern among courthouse officials about the meetings, which are described in e-mail addressed monthly to each of the eight judges, comes at a time that Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson is being publicly criticized for selectively assigning criminal cases against friends and associates of Mr. Clinton's to judges the president has appointed. None of the eight Clinton-appointed judges, all of whom were named to the bench between 1994 to 1998, would comment on the meetings or their content."
I don't care if he's "better", and I don't care if he had tried to off Clowntoon. If you try to kill a President, you need to rot in jail, prison, the rubber room, whatever.....forever. Otherwise is to say it's ok to do it. Idiots.
If the day ever comes that it's really necessary to do such a thing, then we're already in the middle of a very nasty, bloody revolution. And it ain't gonna be fun for anybody.
God! I hope Hinckley ex-capes (a little ebonics lingo, there) and makes it to the Reagan ranch, catches the eye of the Secret Service agents, and gets shot fourty-two times in the extremities, to lengthen the suffering before he dies. Then I'd send pictures (with a few fresh pieces of bloody hinckley hamburger meat) to the c*nt judge and the bleeding tw@t psychiatrists who claimed he was "no risk."
