...“Only the Appointments Clause or the Vacancies Act’s exclusive structure may authorize service as a principal officer, and Lake satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution,” US district court judge Royce C Lamberth wrote in the ruling....

Another major Swamp monster crawls out from under his rock. These old fossils are nearly extinct. Voice of America, in effect became the voice of the democrat party...echoed to the entire world.

Barely resembled the beacon of Freedom that helped tear down Mr. Gorbachev’s wall.

It will take a decade to drain the swamp.

This too will be overturned on appeal.

Judge Lamberth took senior status in 2013, but refuses to step down and let Trump appoint his replacement. He is a vocal anti-Trump judge who once told a Jan6 defendant that he was guilty and the jury would find him so. Of course the jury did as told.

Lamberth is 82 yrs old, can barely walk, and has to be assisted onto his bench.

Don’t care for Lake. Don’t like what she’s done at VOA.

*** Lamberth is 82 yrs old, can barely walk, and has to be assisted onto his bench.***

Do you want to know something scary?

My husband had cataract surgery on Wednesday. The patient who checked in before he did was an 82 year old truck driver, still driving. He walked with two canes (instead of a walker), and was there for cataract removal. He talked really loudly, so the whole room could hear him.

He said he drove a truck to Chicago and back 6 days a week from the Indy area. He said he didn’t think that his eyesight was very bad, but that the doc told him he could help him make it better. The man could barely stand up without support! It’s hard to imagine him being behind the wheel of any vehicle, let alone a truck. From what we gathered, it was probably a box truck like one might be able to rent from U-Haul.

Now, I’m not one to discriminate based on age alone, but there are other factors that lets me know when it’s time to let go. This man should NOT be driving anymore. Not even around town. He can’t see, he can’t support his own body, and I think he talked loudly because he’s going deaf. He kept asking the receptionist to repeat what she had said.

I hope that he’s been sidelined by his company until he can prove he can see better at a minimum. I have begun to be wary of truck drivers now. It didn’t used to be that way.

Sorry for the segue. I’m not trying to shift the topic, but this came to mind with your comment about needing assistance to the bench. That judge is the same age as the truck driver at the surgery center.

I haven’t been following what she’s been up to lately. Please explain. Thanks.

He used to be a very conservative judge. The “Go to” judge for the conservative causes.
I guess, he is getting too old and childish?
Or he’s got TDS?

Age alone does not indicate ability, however it might be a factor and for critical positions, might indicate a need for confirmatory cognitive ability testing.

I'm in my latish 70s, just aced a battery of cognitive tests last year, and I'm already entered in 3 five K races this year. There are many older as well as younger than I that I would not trust driving or on the bench.

As much as we want Trump to rule as the iron willed executive, attention to detail matters. Dotted T's, crossed I's, and properly completed TPS forms.

I don’t think he was BS-ing. His wife was with him, and lamented about him being gone all the time. They were quite the pair.

Right, it’s not the age. It’s everything that goes with it. The man didn’t look healthy, was bent over, relied on his two canes the entire time. He never set them down, even when sitting. He had trouble hearing.

It was just a reminder to me of how dangerous our roads are becoming. We allow illegals who can’t speak our language or read our signs to drive long distances in huge trucks. We allow 80+ year olds who can’t see clearly, can’t hear well, can barely walk, and can’t support themselves drive a large load for several hours on busy roads.

I would prefer that our states (all of them) do something about these drivers. Get them off the roads. These are dangerous machines. Driving is a privilege, not a right. The privilege needs to be taken away.
