Looks like U.S. District Court Judge Richard Roberts, Obama and Holder are joined at the hip. Obama's illegal firing of Gerald Walpin was too vague to correct, just as was Holder's dropping of the New Black Panther's voter intimidation case. Obama must be thrilled to have the AG and a federal judge in his pocket.

Judge Roberts was appointed to the bench in 1998 by President Bill Clinton.

The “myth” of judicial impartiality is too often just a myth.

Judges can be political creatures, too.

One of the “Magnificent Seven” who took it upon themselves to appoint the political cases to themselves so they could protect the corrupt democrats from legal consequences of their crimes.

I guess Roberts says that nobody can be caught at a crime unless the law in question tells exactly how the crime is to be discovered and prosecuted.

Can this guy wipe his butt without a law telling him how to do it?

Federal Judges are notoriously drawn from the pool of political hack lawyers who help Senators get elected (i.e. raise campaign money).. It is the Senator of the same party as the President who figures out who the President should appoint. If both Senators are opposite party, then they fall back to ranking House members. Some districts have sham panels to judge “excellence” but the candidates are all hacks.

This case doesn’t need a civil suit with a district judge. It needs a grand jury and a special prosecutor.

This will be revisited along with many other issues by the new Congress which I pray will impeach Obama and try him for treason.

Agreed, it looks like it’s the only way justice will be served.

A cheap, political hack judge. What could Halpin have expected?

I love how everyone dealing with this ILLEGAL REGIME thinks they are going to get LEGAL justice.

Doesn’t Walpin realize this?
Doesn’t Gov. Jan Brewer realize this?
Doesn’t Gov. Jindal realize this?

Walpin, Brewer, Jindal and Governors suing over Obamacare should demand Quo Warranto.

I’m getting to the point where violence seems the only answer to this corrupt government.

Walpin is 78 has lived a long good life maybe he ought to go postal and do a little house cleaning.

AND lose his own soul?

I would think not. At 78, if like me, he fears not going to heaven more than anything else.

Defending my life against a killer that wants to take it is one thing...I could do that, but for revenge over losing a job, no.

Going through the courts is fine, going postal is not.

JMHO as usual.

“Walpin, Brewer, Jindal and Governors suing over Obamacare should demand Quo Warranto.”

From the article:

“Walpin said in an e-mail to POLITICO Friday he disagrees with the ruling and is considering what to do next. ‘We are disappointed in the decision, believe it is erroneous, and are reviewing it and our options,’ he said.”

Hopefully, quo warranto will be one of those options.

Leo Donofrio was very keen on having a plaintiff, such as Walpin, contact him to test the quo warranto statute against a sitting president.
