I`ll bet if investigators dig deep enough they will find connections to Cecil.I think the judge turned down Cecil's request for asylum.

So he campaigns and raises money for Obama, and he is impartial?
Who would be impartial?
Why a Republican of course! Siwwy Heretic!
In this case, an "Independent" would have been better.
Didn't they think that somebody would find out the connections?
Scott Walker has a long history of cronyism. Walker had so many cronies and campaign donors to take care of that he had dozens of civil service jobs changed so that he could take care of his friends and benefactors.
... Walker is starting to fill judicial vacancies with political appointees and cronies.
With Pennsylvania courts facing a sizeable budgetary shortfall this year, some state officials have questioned Gov. Tom Corbett’s recent appointment of his former chief of staff to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas.
Corbett announced his intention to nominate Bill Ward to the court last Thursday, after Ward announced his resignation earlier that day.
But after last year’s agreement between Corbett and state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Castille to refrain from appointing new justices, Corbett has received backlash from Castille as well as other court officials.
Ward’s appointment came after state Republicans called for a shakeup in Corbett’s staff, considering the lack of progress being made on key party issues, like liquor-store privatization and school vouchers.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon is winning kudos across the political spectrum for a ruling that rejects the constitutionality of the National Security Agency vacuuming up the metadata on virtually every phone call made in America. Leon clearly possesses a libertarian streak, but he earned his place on the bench by running a partisan cover-up of a historic crime.
Leon was appointed to his lifetime judicial post by George W. Bush in 2002 after Leon won the gratitude of the Bush Family by protecting its interests as an aggressive and reliable Republican legal apparatchik on Capitol Hill. There, the heavy-set Leon gained a reputation as a partisan bully who made sure politically charged investigations reached a desired outcome, whatever the facts.

Xuenchen ... I'm sure you want to go on record regarding the judicial appointments of candidate (and Governor) Scott Walker?

... or how about Pennsylvania Republican Governor Tom Corbitt? ...

... and, I'm sure you'll want to add GW Bush appointee US District Judge Richard Leon to your list ...

ROFLOL
But we are not talking about the Supreme Court or Scott walker corruption.
This issue is about the direct relation between the Judge and Obama and the PP debacle.
Both long winded posts are null and void but the opinions and conspiracies are open.

The judge contributed $30,800 to PACs supporting Obama, and helped raise around $200K. Link to, you know, real evidence
So, you're against political nepotism eh? I'll give your claim more credence when you address massive Republican cronyism (as demonstrated in the post you're responding to.)
You have no evidence whatsoever that the Obama administration communicated with Judge Orrick in any way. I know that fits your political agenda, but when you make charges like judicial misconduct, you should really have at least a scrap of fact.
SO, you're 0 for 3. If you can't get even your basic facts straight, why bother, really?

I hate all good ole boy tactics liek Obama and bush both used. ALOT OF COURT CASES have been tried on circumstantial evidence (and convictions handed down as well)
ALso you know its impossible for a person such as myself to get evidence of something so stop being intellectually dishonest when it comes to my opinions.

in the false charges waged against Planned Parenthood by KNOWN SCAMMERS AND FRAUDSTERS
Please provide sources on when they have been found to be scamming........or is that as well founded an accusation as you find the PP debacle to be?

Here's a copy of Judge Orrick's order: Link
These known fraudsters will have their day in court tomorrow at 8 AM. This was, as noted a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER!
Judge Orrick was confirmed by the Senate in 2013, you know, back when the Congress was actually doing it's job once in a while.
It's not as if the President snuck in and gave him the keys to the courthouse in the middle of the night.
I can post Judge Orrick's record, his history of pro-bono public service over his distinguished career and I can post the multiple identities and past confidence-games and PROVEN FRAUD of the principals behind "The Center for Medical Progress."
... but I know that facts don't dissuade empty pointless accusations leveled by those with nothing more than a political agenda to g on.

Obama controlled the houses when he was in his first term so the senate confirmation is actually one more point to Obama incs. misuse of power. WHy no mention of me dissing on bush? Both presidents on both sides of the aisle are scum these days.
Orrick was rated Unanimously Well Qualified by the American Bar Association. He had a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 11, 2012.
I could source your OWN posts in which you state that this group has ADMITTED totally misrepresenting their identities, engaging in fraudulent business propositions, conspiring to encourage others to act illegally, etc. etc.
Why don't you put words into your own mouth, instead of mine, just for a change of pace, eh?
Investigative journalists look for facts. Your buds at "The Center for Medical Progress" have clearly and repeatedly attempted (and failed miserably) to fabricate evidence, misrepresent their videos, engage in false pretense, and encourage lawlessness.
Real reporters don't do that. They don't have to. If there were actual wrongdoing, caught on MULTIPLE recording devices, it wouldn't have been a matter of spreading it on the internet on the Winger Blogsphere, they would have taken the "evidence" to the AUTHORITIES.
So, now it's evidence of this sham group being CHARGED with fraud that you require, not just supplying you with the amble evidence that I know you are aware of (because you've repeatedly referred to it yourself!) ???
You must be kidding; I look FORWARD to their day in court. All of the garbage will be a part of the record.
Give it a few days, I can probably provide you with plenty of evidence of "The Center" and it's fraudsters being charged.
