The Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed the hearing for a controversial Court of Appeals nominee after the panel received a letter from a home-state prosecutor blasting the candidate as a judicial loose cannon and after Republicans raised concerns about bias in favor of sex offenders.
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Chatigny gained notoriety in 2005 for his role in trying to fight the execution of convicted serial killer and rapist Michael Ross, also known as The Roadside Strangler, whom Chatigny had described as a victim of his own "sexual sadism."
His conduct in that case, which included threatening to go after Ross' attorney's law license, as well as his ruling in 2001 against sex offender registries created under Megan's Law, has caused a commotion among Republicans on the judiciary panel.
"I've never seen conduct like this," said a Republican source. "I'm shocked that the White House vetted this guy ... and still put him up for a judgeship."

Wonder if this judge is a sexual sadist.
BAM
It does...
I am not believing this. This Judge Michael A. Chagares is handling a Presidential Eligibility Case against Obama in ‘Kershner vs Obama & Congress’ with Attorney Mario Apuzzp representing the plantiffs arguing Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen. What is Obama up to here in appointing this judge for? Is this a set up?

Read Here or click link,
By order dated February 22, 2010, the Honorable Circuit Judge Michael A. Chagares on behalf of the Motion’s Panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals granted plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file the overlength brief. This is great news because the case will now continue forward as scheduled. Obama’s and Congress’s opposition brief was initially due on February 22, 2010. The Department of Justice obtained a 14-day extension to file that brief, making the new due date March 8, 2010. After they file their opposition brief, I will then have 14 days within which to file a reply to that brief. All briefs will be posted at this blog and it is my hope that the public will read these briefs so as to stay fully informed on this issue that is critically important not only to my clients but also to our Constitutional Republic.
Never mind. Wrong Judge. My bad.
Yes and these are the people he admires!
The more important question is: Does this judge have any family members, in-laws, lovers, etc in Congress that Obama needs to convince to change their “no” vote on Socialized HealthCare to a “yes”?
.
Ahhh... very interesting.
Great question.
