Chris judges the judge

Tribune columnist Paul Rolly reports that Sen. Chris Buttars doesn't like uppity judges who rule against his campaign contributors. And he's not above threatening them as chair of the Senate Judicial Confirmation Committee.

After 4th District Judge Derek Pullan ruled against Buttars-bud developer Wendell Gibby in a land dispute with the city of Mapleton, Buttars wrote the judge on Senate letterhead that he was "embarrassed" that he supported his confirmation.
"I had hoped that we had appointed a judge that would err on the side of individual rights, not a liberal activist judge who would champion government."

Gibby has been in a lengthy dispute with Mapleton over developing land that is in an environmentally protected area.

Meanwhile, Gibby warned the Mapleton City Council this week that if they couldn't settle with him, there were lawmakers prepared to resolve it.

"It is a way for Wendell Gibby to go back and strong-arm the city into creating another agreement," says Jim Lundberg, a leader of Gibby's opposition.

HOW CLEVER. A MEDIA DIS-INFO OPERATION. Now I’m startng to get it, ……..yeah..okay.

The deviant sex practitioners conspired with their media allies (with a wink from local dems) to attack Buttars on any trumped up pretext in order derail the deviant sex marriage bill.

Good one…fake up a claim of racism…after all that is the kiss of death. That would scare anyone. The deviant sex media types and their supporters start using the big lie technique developed by the german nazis.

I t doesn’t matter that Buttars didn”t say anything improper…..because a carefully orchestrted media distortion op will keep the dumb masses in a state of congitive dissonace.

But here is the bad part: Some of the public are not quite so stupid. They might even be making a list of the cooperative media outfits for future reference. What if they find out about our “free” (free from anticompetive regulation championed by Theodore Rossevelt) media is not so free after all?

After all, the controlled media is going down the tubes financially just through lack of quality and intelligence by staff.
