We learn from Bayoubuzz, via Michelle Malkin that U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman, who told Obama his power is limited, is now receiving death threats;
“Last night, Feldman served as a celebrity judge at a cooking contest at a school gymnasium in Uptown New Orleans. Due to the threats, Feldman was accompanied by a federal marshal security team.
It is a sad indictment of our society today that a judge with such a sterling record of integrity and service to his country would be subject to such threats. Feldman was appointed to the federal bench by President Reagan in 1983. Today, he is in the eye of a political hurricane unlike anything he has ever experienced.”
A sad indictment of our society today? Not my society, thank you. Leave me out of this. This is about the Left. And it’s not an “indictment” of the left so much as another in a very long string of verifications of the left’s mindset. It’s also a vindication of the American Founders’ ideas. See; they knew our government would try to seize power unconstitutionally. That’s what happens as a matter of course. That’s why they took steps trying to prevent it. After having taken these steps, they also knew things would come to blows once in a while. Those who lust for power simply cannot help themselves, and they routinely resort to threats and violence. That’s what political power is at its fundamental level, after all– threats and violence for the purpose of taking our treasure and trampling our liberty.
That being said; an actual death threat most likely means that the person making the threat isn’t going to act. Otherwise they’d just go for it without all the talk.
Judge Feldman; I hope you’re packing heat, and know how to use it.
He’s accused of being a tool for the oil industry. I suppose anyone who favors liberty and human rights (asuming the judge does– I don’t know) is a “tool” for this, a “tool” for that, and a “tool” for any worthwhile activity, so long as that activity doesn’t violate anyone’s rights. We’ll see if the good judge can make that argument with such clarity, or if he’ll cough, splutter and squirm like a Republican.
