Giving the term judicial activism new meaning, President
Obama has nominated an ACORN loyalist to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the Chicago Tribune
reports.
David F. Hamilton "has a long and impressive record of service
and a history of handing down fair and judicious decisions. He
will be a thoughtful and distinguished addition to the 7th
circuit and I am extremely pleased to put him forward to serve
the people of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin," the president
said in a
press release that conspicuously ignores the judicial
nominee's actual history.
The Judicial Confirmation Network notes that Hamilton previously
worked as a fundraiser for ACORN,
the radical direct-action group that not only resurrects the dead
and gets them to the polls every election but also shakes down
banks and pressures them to make home loans to people who can't
afford to pay them back.
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Indiana) is already smitten with Hamilton.
"I enthusiastically support the Senate confirmation of David
Hamilton for U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Hamilton
has served the Southern District of Indiana with distinction as
U.S. District Court Judge," Lugar said.
