Obama's first appellate judicial appointment.

Sigh, would you expect anything different from Obamba?



Judgement unanimously reversed. That's neither moderate nor competent bench work, that's judicial activism, or as they say; legislating from the bench.

Note:
(Addendum: Lesson learned from doing a Google search for Judge Hamilton’s head shot: Never do a Google image search for “David Hamilton” with SafeSearch off. Eeesh.)

No kidding, you get a kiddie porn extravaganza.gs

(BTW, Hamilton is big time environmental, I guess you know what that means.)

Hamilton graduated from Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 2003 so he will be in the system for a long time if confirmed, no doubt we will see spineless opposition from the repulseivican party and cheers from the socialist-democrats.

Since complaints have been made about too many threads, here is is a bit on the Obama Commerce Secretary appointment: (we can call the topic; "obambi appointments."

As for the Clinton-era donations that Mr. Locke received from sources connected to the Chinese influence-peddling investigation, Mr. LaBolt said the nominee had long since refunded the money and was never implicated in any wrongdoing by congressional or Justice Department investigators.

Mr. Locke is Mr. Obama's third choice for commerce secretary. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, withdrew from consideration after it was revealed that a grand jury is investigating illegal contracting in the state, and Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, withdrew over policy disputes with the administration.

Mr. Locke is not a registered lobbyist at Davis Wright, but the firm has made millions lobbying for several U.S. companies and also is registered as a foreign lobbyist.

Meanwhile, President Obama on Tuesday issued a waiver of a 1999 defense export-control law that will allow the transfer of U.S. high-technology goods to China.



Mr. Obama stated in a notice to Congress that fine-grain graphite and aircraft composite gear will not "measurably improve [China's] missile and space launch capabilities."

What Obama just did with China is like a woman turning to prostitution to support her children after her husband died.


So... nothing different than what happened in the Clinton Administration.

So you mean the American people are getting sold down the river again??

I get the prostitute reference but who was the husband that died.

CHINESE NAVAL ADVANCES

At a time when the United States Navy is de-emphasizing large-scale, open-sea "blue water" operations in favor of littoral "brown water" operations, the Chinese Navy seems to be doing exactly the opposite.

Satellite photographs obtained by the respected defense periodical Jane's Defense Weekly depict the construction of a massive nuclear submarine base on Hainan, the island that became a household name when an American EP-3 spy plane was forced to land there in April 2001.

The photographs show enormous tunnels leading into the underground submarine base, which analysts believe can shield as many as 20 submarines from prying reconnaissance satellites.

Because Hainan is situated near deep water, the new base will make it easier for Chinese submarines to "break out" into Pacific shipping lanes without detection.

China will also be able to oppose U.S. Naval operations more forcefully in the Taiwan straight.

In addition to attack submarines that can disrupt the sea lines of communication, Hainan's caverns will likely house the new Type 094 ballistic missile submarine, each of which carries a dozen 5,000-mile-range JL-2 nuclear missiles.

Each missile is believed to hold three or four independently targetable warheads. The piers at Hainan are capable of servicing at least two carrier battle groups, and China is expected to build at least six aircraft carriers within the next decade.

Lyle Goldstein, the director of China Maritime Studies at the U.S. Naval War College, summed it up best: "What was gray before is now becoming clear. China can now effectively fight a nuclear war."
