Judge Faces Death Threats After BP Gulf Oil Drilling Moratorium Ruling

Judge Faces Death Threats After BP Gulf Oil Drilling Moratorium Ruling
It is a sad indictment of our society today that a judge with such a sterling record of integrity and service to his country would be subject to such threats. Feldman was appointed to the federal bench by President Reagan in 1983. Today, he is in the eye of a political hurricane unlike anything he has ever experienced.

In issuing his ruling, Feldman said that the moratorium was faulty because there was no “rational connection between the facts found and the choice made.” While there is often debate about the merits of judicial decisions, seldom does the criticism focus on the integrity of the judge. Right after he issued the ruling, Feldman came under attack as a tool of the oil industry. Media outlets reporters noted that the Judge held stock in oil and gas companies and implied that his decision was based on his own personal financial considerations. Such a personal attack is unfair and completely unwarranted, especially for Feldman, a distinguished judge known for his commitment to the law and a jurist who has earned the praise of people throughout the legal community.

Much of the sensational reporting on Feldman’s investments was based on outdated information. The Judge was blasted for owning stock in Transocean, Ltd and Halliburton, two of the major companies involved in the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Feldman owned those stocks in 2008; however, he sold those shares long before issuing his ruling this week. In fact, this updated information will be released in the next report on his stock holdings.

If Feldman held financial interests in any of companies involved in the lawsuit or the Deepwater Horizon rig, he would not have been allowed the take the case. The 5th District Court uses a sophisticated computer system to check whether judges have a conflict of interest in any legal proceeding. This system automatically determines whether a judge needs to be recused from a particular case. In this lawsuit, Feldman was allowed to take the case because he did not own any stock related to the parties involved.
THIS blatantly dishonest (characteristic of the Progressive Liberal Left, we know fully well) character-assassination attack on a judge of stellar professional and reputational standing is ONE example of why I so relentlessly bludgeon the Dangerously Hard "Progressive-Liberal" Left with my word weapon... If they're not beaten back with every fiber of the Peoples' being, they'll then turn into the next Stalin-Mao-Khomeini-Castro-Hitler-Ivan the Terrible. And this cannot be allowed to happen. HENCE we have FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, SUN News, World Net Daily, the DHFC, Front Page Mag, Andrew Breitbart and his Big group, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, the Tea Party, The Canadian Sentinel, etc., etc...

Goooooooooooood Morning Cee Ess!

Glad to see you included yourself in that good company. You deserve the credit line.
No worries about the runty redder either. What a tool!

Back on topic:
Most Americans with IRA's (individual retirement accounts) have no idea what stocks they hold. I'll bet almost every screaming one of these idiots has shares in an oil company or recognizable subsidiary or Halliburton or a subsidiary.

The media that refuse to tell the public of the mess which OBAMA is leaving them with will pay the price as well.
OBAMA as Glenn said repetitively, REFUSE to accept any help from foreign nations to help with the clean up and stop the well from leaking since three days after the explosion.

How dare OBAMA refuse help to aid the american people and why hasn't the msm demand answers since then. But it is too late in a way,, the disaster has spread.
THE MSM THAT REFUSE TO QUESTION HAVE ALLOWED OBAMA TO CONTINUE, WILL PAY FOR THIS AS WELL.

Obama is not God, the true GOD is waiting for the american people to turn to Him for help; until then, the disaster will continue.
