Judge Edward M. Chen nailed by Washington Post

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Another day, another Obama nominee who doesn't appear to love America. Another nominee who thinks the United States is inherently racist. Another nominee who thinks that judges should let their "ethnic and racial background" have an effect on how they conduct their trials. President Obama's radicalization of American government needs to be stopped.

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. Mr. Chen is currently a federal magistrate in San Francisco, and a lawyer long active with the American Civil Liberties Union before that.

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."

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."

And talking about the role of judges, he in effect embraced the "empathy standard" that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was forced to denounce in her own confirmation hearings: "Simply put, a judge's life experiences affect the willingness to credit testimony or understand the human impact of legal rules upon which the judge must decide. These determinations require a judge to draw upon something that is not found in the case reports that line the walls of our chambers. Rather judges draw upon the breadth and depth of their own life experience.... Inevitably, one's ethnic and racial background contributes to those life experiences."

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.

It's Washington Time not Post.

The analysis fails to see the true face of Chen: a crooked person full of resentment of his own race. Such an individual needs to see a psychologist. He can't take the responsibility of the judge, who is supposed to sit high and think about the big things-- The Rule of Law.

If Chen becomes a federal judge, all he will do is to swindle that position for whatever ulterior motives

The news that is not White House approved...

Here We Go Again...

The revolving door of radicals coming into the Obama administration continues to spin. The latest Obama nominee to draw fire is Judge Edward Chen, who has been nominated to serve as a U.S. District Court judge in Northern California.

Chen's comments over the years have been so controversial that The Washington Times recently called him "another Obama nominee who doesn't appear to love America."

For example, he's no fan of the song "America the Beautiful," because he said, "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."

And just a few days removed from 9/11, Chen said one of his first reactions to the 9/11 attacks was a "sickening feeling in my stomach about what might happen to race relations and religious tolerance on our own soil."

That's funny, my first reaction was to think about the thousands of innocent civilians that were murdered on that day.

Judge Chen should not be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Chen is such a low crook. Why did he take the oath to be a judge if he had no intention to follow it?

Lying judges are worst type of crooks, cuz they took an oath yet they lie.

Elizabeth D. Laporte? Hope Obama will look more carefully.
