The Security of Our Nation shouldn't be political. The orders of the President should be respected. People who would put others in jeopardy for political points with foreigners should be held accountable when and if something bad happens to an American Citizen by the foreigners who are of course, not covered by the Constitution of the United States.

The Liberal left pushing their Political Agendas and Personal Views from Bench is a disgrace to our Country and our Constitution. This is not the reason for their Federal Judiciary. Nobody is above the law in Federal Judges, nor were they Appointed to supplement Our United States Constitution for their own personal opinions and Political Aspirations and Lobbyists pressures. The Senate must review these Federal Judges, Entire Court for Impeachment and Removal of due to Abuse of Power, Manifestation of Injustice and Litigating from the Bench. Their actions are clearly to appease their own personal agendas and the Elite, endanger us all and are clearly Contrary to law. They simply do not care the impact.

An outstanding trial and motions judge. He is thoroughly prepared, often using outlines or prepared notes. Intellectually curious, politically astute, and an excellent reader of character and motives. Just the judge that you want if you need one who is really smart. Don't ever try to pull the wool over his eyes.

Temperament has not yet left private practice in service of his clients. Wears his crown too heavily.
