Three Oklahomans will be among about 150 people expected in Washington, D.C., ... Wooden plans to join 150 advocates from 27 states in a day of discussions ... to travel to Washington, D.C.,Monday for a meeting with Obama White House ...
This particular entry on Google, was posted more than
two weeks ago and concerned itself with Monday, May the 7th. I mentioned
the meeting in one of my articles and promised to keep tabs on this meeting.
What caught my attention was the fact that in another related article,
mention was made of the fact that the meeting would not include congressional
figures; it was to be a gathering of private, unnamed civilians excluding congressional
personnel.
And who were these people? Answer: lawyers
concerned with the failure of the Obama Administration in following through on
the appointment of justices in the federal court system. Arizona,
Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Florida and Indiana were states named represented
in this meeting of legal minds from 27 states. Their concern was Obama's lack
of attention given to the appointment of judges to the federal court system.
Of course, if and when this becomes a part of the
primary news cycle, Republican resistance will get the blame, but,
in point of fact, Obama's failure to attend the task of federal court
appointments is much more the case.
Consider these quotes:
Despite the delays, the overwhelming majority of Obama’s
nominees have garnered tremendous bipartisan support, such as Cathy Bissoon,
Mark Hornak and Robert Mariani, who were confirmed to seats in Pennsylvania
district courts by large bipartisan majorities in October. (Penn Law)
Confirmation for the above is seen in this statement:
President Barack Obama stands to become the first president
in at least 30 years to have more openings on the federal bench at the end of
his first term than when he started. "I think the president hasn't made
judicial nominations a real priority of his agenda," said Dan Urman, the
director of Northeastern University's Law & Policy Doctorate Program, who
teaches a class on the nomination process. "If the president had nominated
more, and this rate holds up, then he'd have had more people confirmed." (Judicial Nominations.org)
As I see it, the results of this meeting are in question in view of the fact that Obama was too busy campaigning to attend. In his absence, the complaints embraced in this article seem to be confirmed.
We hired the man to do a job, and on so many levels, he has failed. This circumstance is only another example of a do-nothing domestic leader more concerned with a much larger narrative than that which is limited to domestic issues.
I have often made the claim that Obama is the worst thing to happen to the Democrat party in my lifetime. This is a perfect example. While busy playing 100 rounds of golf (that is nearly 3 months of playing this game "on company time") and making more public appearances than all previous presidents combined, the business of national governance has been largely ignored. But more than this, the business of party politics has been, equally, ignored. While I am not complaining, still, rather than work to get as many Left leaning justices appointed as possible, Obama has given himself to that which he likes doing (whatever that might be), and not to the systemic advancement of the expansion of social justice and related causes. Thankfully, a huge opportunity has been ignored by this Democrat. His ineptness as the leader of the Democrat Party has resulted in the [soon to be] complete reversal of all that was gained by the Left in the 2008 election.
I personally see "intelligent design" in all this, but whatever the case, it is a fact and the November elections just might be the fiat accompli to his ineptitude and Leftist hopes of destroying conservatism "forever."
