ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS NOMINATION - AT 6:49 P.M. ET: Maybe Jodie Evans - see story right below - is also vetting Obama's California court nominees. Given the views of one nominee, that sounds logical.
The Washington Times exposes the disgraceful views of one nominee, views that clearly didn't bother the president who nominated him:
Another day, another Obama nominee who doesn't appear to love America. Another nominee who thinks the United States is inherently racist...
...In this case, the nominee is Northern California federal district court nominee Edward Chen, forwarded by the Senate Judiciary Committee to the full Senate last Friday on a party-line vote.
Presenting Eddie Chen:
Judge Chen's words speak for themselves. When the congregation sang "America the Beautiful" at a funeral, Judge Chen told the audience of his "feelings of ambivalence and cynicism when confronted with appeals to patriotism - sometimes I cannot help but feel that there are too much [sic] injustice and too many inequalities that prevent far too many Americans from enjoying the beauty extolled in that anthem."
How chic. I wonder how this blithering idiot explains Obama's election. There's more:
In a speech on Sept. 22, 2001, he said that among his first responses to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America was a "sickening feeling in my stomach about what might happen to race relations and religious tolerance on our own soil. ... One has to wonder whether the seemingly irresistible forces of racism, nativism and scapegoating which has [sic] recurred so often in our history can be effectively restrained."
No country, internally, responded more nobly to an attack than did the United States after 9-11. Muslims were not targeted. They were not hated. They were not rounded up and shipped off to camps. The radical leftist Chens of the world simply cannot accept the basic goodness of the United States.
The Times concludes:
You get the picture. To quote and paraphrase Sen. Charles E. Schumer from another occasion, this man's attitude "doesn't even whisper 'judge.'" Instead, it yells out that he is a biased radical willing to impose his own politics from the bench. Judge Chen should not be confirmed.
No he shouldn't, but he probably will be. And the president of the United States will be proud.
