Just wanted this highlighted as it goes to the heart of the story. Two men get off but Schumer and Co., wanted the 3rd man sentenced to the maximum for a crime committed by all three. This is absurd! This needs widespread dissemination IMO!
I thought this was a pretty telling paragraph as well. The Clinton Justice Department asleep at the wheel again.
But Chuckie and Company had no problem with Clinton's pardoning of FALN terrorists responsible for over 100 bombings in the country, not to mention the murder of New York City police officers. Among Chuckie's associatates who supported the pardons were: Reps. Jose E. Serrano, Charles B. Rangel, Nydia M. Velazquez and Eliot L. Engel
Don't bother. Judge Pickering's opponents don't oppose him because they are unaware of the facts-they oppose him in spite of the facts.
We, who deal in fact, logic and argument are constantly submarined by the left, for whom fact and logic are relative terms, useful only insofar as they produce a desired result.
They are not opposed to Pickering because he is not a good guy. THEY ALREADY KNOW HE IS A GOOD GUY.
They are not opposed to Pickering because of bad decisions he has rendered. THEY ALREADY KNOW HIS VERDICTS ARE UNIMPEACHABLE.
They are not opposed to Pickering because he lacks judicial temperament. THEY ALREADY KNOW HIS JUDICIAL DEMEANOR IS EXCELLENT.
It is a waste of breath to try to convince Schumer et al of the facts which they already know.
Our energy should be devoted to the same vigorous political combat that the other side excels at.
Ask yourself this: When President Xlinton nominated the radical left activist Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court (not a Circuit Court, mind you-to the freaking UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT!!!)-how much time was spent in floor debate and how many Republicans voted against her?
