Obama Offered Federal Judgeship To Calm Political Drama

Posted: 18 May 2010 12:16 PM PDT

On the heels of President Obama's effort to bribe a Pennsylvania congressman with a government job, a Washington insider reveals that the commander-in-chief unscrupulously tried using a federal judgeship to resolve an internal White House political problem.

To avoid a big public scandal, Obama offered his first White House counsel (Gregory Craig) a federal judgeship in exchange for his resignation. An Ivy League graduate who worked for Ted Kennedy and represented Bill Clinton in his impeachment trial, Craig declined the offer and was subsequently ousted.

Indeed the firing made worldwide headlines and caused an uproar among the administration's crucial liberal base, which accused him of getting rid of Craig for doing his job too well.

Details of the Craig brouhaha are offered in a new book written by a notoriously liberal magazine columnist, according to a story posted in a political news site. The behind-the-scenes narrative of Obama's first year in office points the finger at Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for getting rid of Craig, who the president calls a "close friend and trusted advisor."

Earlier this year Obama tried swaying a popular Pennsylvania congressman, Joe Sestak, to drop out of the upcoming U.S. Senate race so the incumbent, Arlen Specter, wouldn't be challenged in the state's Democratic primary. In a television interview Sestak said that the White House offered him a top federal job to help secure Specter's victory.

A five-term incumbent, Specter switched political parties last spring after giving Obama the critical vote for his disastrous and fraud-infested $787 billion stimulus program. Before Specter bailed on Republicans Obama assured the contentious lawmaker he'd do everything in his power to help him win reelection if he switched parties.

Considering the president's history, it's completely feasible to assume that that he's using a Supreme Court appointment to assure that a trusted political ally (Elena Kagan) is in place to protect his (healthcare) legislation when it comes before the High Court.

Judicial Watch Files Lawsuit to Obtain Records about Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon’s Security Detail

Posted: 18 May 2010 11:03 AM PDT

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has filed an open records lawsuit against the City of Phoenix to obtain documents related to Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon's taxpayer-funded security detail (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. City of Phoenix, Civil Action CV2010-015452). Judicial Watch also filed an "Application for Order to Show Cause," asking the court to force the City of Phoenix to file an expedited response by June 7, 2010.

On November 16, 2009, Judicial Watch requested that the Phoenix Police Department provide access to the following public records: "All activity logs for Mayor Phil Gordon's Security Detail. The time frame for this request is December 30, 2007, to the present."

Judicial Watch notes that "…disclosure of the requested logs will help the public to appreciate the size, scope, and duties of the Mayor's police detail and the activities of the officers assigned to it, including whether the detail has been used for official purposes only or if it also has been used for non-official or personal purposes as well." Judicial Watch understands that Mayor Gordon's security costs about $1 million per year. At the same time, there is a proposal by the City of Phoenix to lay off hundreds of Phoenix Police Department police officers.

In a letter dated January 4, 2010, the City of Phoenix refused to produce the requested records. The City had previously refused to release these same documents to the Arizona Republic newspaper as well. The legal filings detail how the logs will provide additional information about Mayor's day-to-day activities, "such as meetings or appointments the Mayor had, persons with whom the Mayor met, places to which the Mayor traveled, and persons who accompanied or traveled with the Mayor."

"This is a simple request for documents that should be readily available to the public. Phoenix taxpayers will be able to use these records to help determine whether the Mayor's publicly-funded police detail is an appropriate use of scarce tax dollars," stated Judicial Watch President Tom [...]

Obama’s Illegal Immigrant Aunt Gets Asylum

Posted: 18 May 2010 07:50 AM PDT

After two rare secret court hearings, President Obama's illegal immigrant aunt has been granted political asylum by the same judge who deported her last spring after noting that she had previously ignored multiple removal orders.

The judge's abrupt reversal will remain a mystery because it all took place behind closed doors, even though the Justice Department's immigration court manual—as well as a federal appellate court—says such proceedings should be open. Yet the most "transparent administration in history" arranged for the deportation hearings to be held out of public view.

That's probably because the commander-in-chief's aunt, Zeituni Polly Onyango, has essentially flipped the finger at U.S. immigration laws for years, twice ignoring deportation orders (in 2003 and 2004) before getting busted again in 2008. Onyango has for years lived in a South Boston public housing facility and was denied yet another stay of deportation during her nephew's presidential campaign.

Last spring Onyango managed to get a private court hearing to address the multiple removal charges against her. The judge granted her 10 months to fight deportation to her native Kenya, but no further details were made available about the closed-door proceeding. A few months ago Onyango had yet another highly unusual closed-door court date, which culminated with this week's asylum. The White House insists that auntie is not getting any special treatment and denies that the president is in any way contributing to her legal costs.

Unlike criminal courts, defendants in immigration cases aren't entitled to legal representation and must pay for it themselves. How an indigent illegal immigrant, living off of U.S. taxpayers, is financing the costly private Ohio law firm representing her remains unclear.

As for the closed hearings, the Justice Department claims that they're "not uncommon" but the reality is that they are. In fact, the Executive Office of Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that manages immigration courts, allows closed removal hearings in only a handful of instances that don't seem to apply to Obama's aunt.

According to the agency's Immigration Court Practice Manual (chapter 4, page 60), exceptions to public deportation hearings include claims of torture or cruel and inhumane punishment and those involving abused alien children or spouses. It does however, give judges authority to limit attendance or close hearings to protect parties, witnesses or the public interest even if the hearing would normally be open to the public.

In Onyango's case U.S. Immigration Court Judge Leonard Shapiro refuses to reveal his reasons for closing the hearing. Citing immigrants' rights, federal legislators have fought the public's exclusion from immigration courts, reminding that a federal regulation requires proceedings to be open in order to protect the petitioners.

A federal appellate court has also ruled that public access undoubtedly enhances the quality of deportation proceedings by acting as a check on the actions of the Executive and ensuring that proceedings are conducted fairly and properly. Open hearings also enhance the perception of integrity and fairness, the court points out.
