Bravo! I couldn't agree more... and I'll go one step further... the daughter who just had her judgeship paid for by her daddy.. just how impartial can she ever be? seriously, she knows her position was just paid for on the backs of the low-income voter and obviously doesn't give enough of a shit or care about her dignity enough to say "Um thanks but I think I'll try for this position using my hardwork,brains and integrity instead of this political abortion"..
I mean for Christ-sake she's getting a judgeship... wtf? isn't there supposed to be some semblance of impartiality in that role? if so, how in the hell can she ever claim it when we already know she has a price and proof of that is that she's sitting there in the black robe..
This exposed, failed deal was blatant, and being so, something tells me there's a shit load more favor appointments that never made any radars because they weren't so brazen.
I know favors and politics go hand in hand, but this alarms me. This wasn't a promise to stump for a friend or to shake a contact list and call in a favor or two. This wasn't desperation, despite appearances. This was a level of conceit and confidence that only the most worry free and ethically empty would engage in. If there were any reservations, any remorse, they conveniently saved them for getting caught.
I'm not sure who's the biggest piece of shit in all this. The Repubs for offering. The Dem for accepting. Or the Dem's daughter who didn't bat an eye for being brought on board as a deal clincher, or hell, maybe she cheered dear old dad on. Who knows. Impartial Judge my ass. Look, my crippled shit is doing cartwheels, wheeeee.
I wonder what kind of justice duty/position she was getting? Civil? Oh, I know, wouldn't it be a hoot is she listened and ruled on corp./business cases? Oh! Maybe she would have ruled on ethics violations involving state reps and their staff, holy christ. I'm sure she would have been more than fair. Fuuucccckk her. Just the thought that she was going to be any kind of lawful arbiter pisses me right the hell off. No wait...I'm more pissed off that she probably actually thought she'd make a good justice, with evidently, little to no ethical conflict in the process. She sure as fuck doesn't have moral issues.
There's a disconnect here that puckers my ass. I was offered, by a piece of shit lawyer, a chance to be driven around the county, going into Mom and Pop stores and eateries and rat them out to scumbag lawyer, if they weren't up to handi code, for a piece of the cash he'd get by threatening to report them to the state for non-compliance if they instead put some dinero in his hands, for poor little ole me's inconvenience...and we/he'd promise to drop the matter. All legal mind you, even though it's morally bankrupt as hell. It took me almost zero seconds to respond, "No thank you." I'm no saint by any stretch, but his offer never even made it to any slight consideration phase. Even now, when money is so tight, I don't look back and think, "Man, sweet easy cash...maybe I should of."
I don't care if people get blinded by ambition, money, or the allure of power, you get no rats ass from me. They should all be forbidden from any state positions, or indirect contact with such, for a minimum of no less than 10-20 years, if ever. These assholes, draft, support and pass laws routinely affecting all in their state, while having no fucking code of ethical conduct that they politically or morally abide by themselves. Who the fuck are any of them to be anywhere near legislative authority? No plea deals, no immunity. Get'em all.
