The Tulsa Forum by TulsaNow

FOTD wonders why the moderators/administrators removed an earlier thread initiated to point out how our US Senators are holding up important appointments currently vacant in our Judicial system.

These Senators are part of a Christian mafioso of which they are leaders and are currently using their power to dismantle the justice department much like the Rove/Bush/Gonzales/Cheney politics of removing justice department members for no good reason other than manipulating their own agenda. These Senators do not walk the walk of upholding law and order.

So admin./moderator, why the censorship? You go along with the politcal shenanigans of destroying law and order by our Senators? How righteous are you?

Do you members feel this post is dragging down the forum? Do you care that the Republicans are mixing their political agenda with the separation of the different branches of government? Is this obstructionist behavior (not the obstructionist methods of the forum police) what our founding fathers had in mind? How unAmerican is this manipulation of the Judiciary?

AND WHY DOES OUR LOCAL MEDIA CONTINUE TO IGNORE A STORY OF SUCH SIGNIFICANCE?

How long has O'Mellia been gone?

Zzzzzzzzzz.

Despite being mostly ranting, this post has 300% more actual content than the last one.

You're showing!

So. Nobody at this forum minds if criminals are being set free due to over crowding or lack of prosecution. How strange.

Are you more concerned about disruption? Do you prefer shouting? Distorting the truth? Castration of our legal system?

So, you are signaling me out for a rant? Give be a friggin break....how many right wing rants do you allow to go on? The disappearing post had plenty of content if you read between the lines. If the moderator/adminniestraighturds had left the International Politic threads to remain open all the time, it would be unnecessary to place the topic elsewhere to be viewed. Your constant one sided manipulation of free speech is comical. Treat all posts equally. You let one sentence rants and rapes by many posties go unchecked. It's the content not the length that is a disruption. Be fair.

That's funny  ;D

This isn't.... http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/08/11/white-house-emails-implicate-rove/
White House emails, Bush aide implicate Rove in firing of US Attorneys

“For example,” the release notes, “in May and June 2005, Rove aide Scott Jennings sent emails to Tim Griffin (also in Rove’s office) asking ‘what else I can do to move this process forward’ and stressing that ‘I would really like to move forward with getting rid of NM US ATTY.’ In June 2005, Harriet Miers emailed that a ‘decision’ had been made to replace Iglesias. At this time, DOJ gave Iglesias top rankings, so this decision was clearly not just the result of the White House following the Department’s lead as Rove and Miers have maintained.”

Iglesias: Rove denial ‘provably false’

"New documents recently released by the House Judiciary Committee concerning the Attorney firing fiasco heavily implicate Rove, the onetime top adviser to former president George W. Bush. Rove denies any involvement with the dismissals."

Want to bet that the C Street Christian Mafioso dons, Inhofe and Coburn, were in on this action to interfere with justice? Why do Republican leaders fail to come forward and condemn the actions of their failed leadership?
Worse, they continue their irresponsible rhetoric, inflame hostile actions by uninformed and untrue allegations. Even worse, they seem to be standing in front of law and order failing their oath to uphold the laws of this nation. Through their inaction and behind the scenes manipulation, a similar fiasco to the health care disinformation campaign seems to present itself as a furthering of the Bush directive to politicize the justice department. If this obstruction to reappoint justice department lawyers is rampant, like it is here, then this is a major story the media is ignoring related directly to the health care "debate."

I saw the post in question briefly before it was removed, and I can't believe I'm agreeing with FOTD, but I really didn't see a need for it's removal, other than being a waste of bandwidth.  There's been some pretty racy stuff that's come out of his keyboard (Marliyn Chambers, anyone?) that's been allowed to slide.

There were no nudes....just a riske` pic.... she had a box of Ivory across her. Hey, it was an acceptable ad pic back in the 70's ..So, enough time had evolved where FOTD thought Tulsa could now "take it."

This is a serious point about the Justice department and our right wing neo-con takeover of a branch of government. Please stay on topic or do not post.

Please follow your own directions, then.

I think the judge should sentence them to read all your posts on TulsaNow, in order.

Now that is punishment.

Keep in mind my role as devil's advocate on this forum.....

"Keep in mind my role as devil's advocate biggest dooshbag on this forum....."

There, fixed that.

Pot/kettle?

 ;D

Guido, you are the one with intellectual difficulty.

Did you ever deny you receive government support in some manner?

Why are republicans so opposed to law and order? Why do they fade from bringing criminals to justice?

Judicial confirmations remain slow

Prosecutor lacks support
Sources say it's unlikely Susan Stidham Brandon will be nominated as Tulsa's top federal prosecutor.

WASHINGTON - Veteran Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan Stidham Brandon was recommended months ago to the White House as the next top federal prosecutor in Tulsa, but that effort has stalled, the Tulsa World has learned.

Several sources who asked not to be identified said Brandon does not have the support necessary for confirmation from Oklahoma's two U.S. senators.

They do not expect her to be nominated for the state's Northern District U.S. attorney post.

Barring a major shift in that apparent stalemate, that means the Obama administration will enter its second year without a viable nominee for two of the three U.S. attorney positions in Oklahoma.

Sanford (Sandy) Coats, who was recommended for the U.S. attorney post in Oklahoma City, is the only one to be nominated formally by the White House.

In October, Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Wallace, who was expected to be named to the top post in Muskogee, asked that his name be withdrawn after the White House unexpectedly and abruptly ended the vetting process on his potential nomination.

At least some think it may be time for similar action in the Brandon situation.

"The longer she waits, the longer the delay,'' said one source.

Brandon did not return a call seeking comment.

Democratic Gov. Brad Henry, who played a leading role in recommending Brandon to the White House, and Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn declined to comment.

Coburn serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which handles nominations for U.S. attorney posts.

Traditionally, a nomination does not move without support of home-state senators, and Coburn's position on the key panel would give him even more influence.

Coburn's reported opposition to Brandon is not clear to some since she was named an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee in 1993.

One source said Brandon did not have enough actual courtroom experience to satisfy Coburn.

As the state's senior senator, Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe spearheaded efforts to fill presidential appointments in Oklahoma under then-President George W. Bush.

Inhofe spokesman Jared Young noted a difference in the way the Brandon recommendation was handled.

"Historically the delegation has moved in unison on judicial nominations,'' Young said. "That's just not the case this time.''

U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, who also played a key role in recommending potential federal nominees to the Obama White House as the only Oklahoma Democrat in Congress, said the process was constructive.

"I have a very good working relationship with both U.S. senators as well as the governor,'' Boren said.

He declined to comment further.

Boren and Henry broke with the practice followed in the past by others when they declined to release to the public the names they were recommending to the White House for the U.S. attorney posts and other federal positions in the state.

Brandon's and Wallace's paths certainly do not track with the timetable U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sought in March when he urged quick action on filling U.S. attorney positions across the country.

"We want to try to get those names to the Justice Department as quickly as possible so we can make determinations as quickly as we can,'' Holder said. "It takes quite a bit of time to get people through, so our hope is to get people in place as quickly as we can.''

The White House declined to comment on Brandon. "

Grand Obstructionist Pricks

When Coburn starts campaigning for another term, remember he failed to protect and to serve the people.
