Anti American Judgements
Mar 8th 2008RavenIdiOt Lefties & Marine Corps & Politics & Raven
Ruling by politics isn’t a good thing. It never has been and is extremely anti American.
A California judge rejected a foster teen’s request for early enlistment with the Marine Corps — and a $10,000 signing bonus — reportedly on the grounds that the judge didn’t approve of the Iraq war.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Marilyn Mackel denied 17-year-old Shawn Sage’s request to join the military last October, according to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News.
“The judge said she didn’t support the Iraq war for any reason we’re over there,” Marine recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano of the Simi Valley U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office told the paper.
“She just said all recruiters were the same — that they ‘all tap dance and tell me what I want to hear.’ She said she didn’t want him to fight in it.”
The kid is going to join the Marines in June- so the judge here had little impact.

That shrew is a perfect example of why we have to be careful ’bout who we appoint or elect as judges. They seem to have an all-powerful attitude ’bout themselves much too often. And the fact that she interjected her personal feelings ’bout the Iraq War, and our military in general, makes me question her judgement in most other things…

I don’t think she should be allowed to rule with her personal opinion. But who am I? Just an American who expects judges to be impartial and fair…with some integrity and moral. Oh well, guess I expect too much.
