A governor’s councilor this week pilloried a judicial nominee who said he’d bend over backward to protect law-abiding residents - essentially accusing the would-be judge of being too tough on crime.

Sounds like Inge should be running for Governor... Incredible that DeVal Patrick’s judicial nominees are more Conservative than his scum RINO predecessor’s.

“Incredible that DeVal Patrick’s judicial nominees are more Conservative than his scum RINO predecessor’s. “
DeScum appointed a decent judge? I’m shocked.
I have yet to hear a Mythology major adequately defend Romney’s crap judicial appointments. They seem to ignore it when it’s brought up.
They don’t defend it. They find it sickeningly funny about his Ruth’s Chris lunch that was more important than the murder of the Maucks. Diseased, rotten souls.
