#1 I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me a federal judge talking to a US Congressperson is doing official duty unless & until it's proven otherwise. Proven, not just mentioned in a political speech.

#2 Behold the Rahm Emanuel school of crisis exploitation. Zero is clueless. This sad event gains him teevee speaking time. I can't stomach the bastid.

#3 Perhaps in addition to his own job, Mr, Obama is also filling in for Joe Biden while the Veep is overseas?

#4 It Ok. What judge/jury going to take anything Obama says seriously?

#5 so what

There are eyewitnesses, weapon, etc. Conviction on multiple counts of murder is certain even if not in Federal Court.

and the Congresswoman was obviously conducting biz so that murder attempt, etc. is a slam dunk in Fed court also

#6 It's also not surprising that the first 10 minutes of the Once's speech was about himself.

#7 The Federal charges cover just two of the people injured. State charges should be brought.

#8 Tacky. Handing out collectivist political t-shirts at the memorial service-rally.

#9 Picky, can't expect TOTUS to know every little federal law. Local sheriff has said some stuff other than ongoing investigation. Just words and all that.

Besides, wait until we start finding out how badly the starving pig media has screwed the process up.

#10 So according to this article, if a bad guy kills a federal judge because he's presiding over a particular case, but the judge is at home, or anywhere but not actually on the job at that moment, or thinking or talking about it, then there's no death penalty involved. Only if the trial is in progress and he's at work, or thinking or talking about judge stuff, then his murder is a capital crime. As a Dickens character said, "if that's the law then the law's an ass".

#11 Now word that when Jan Brewer, Republican governor of Arizona, spoke at the memorial, some of the assembled Democrats boo'ed her.

#12 Cheap grandstanding, politicking, cheering and booing and the passing out of tee shirts... now that's a memorial service appropriate for six murder victims (or as Pelosi called the shootings "a tragic accident." All that's missing was a tee shirt cannon and two-fer-one jello shots.

#13 Now word that when Jan Brewer, Republican governor of Arizona, spoke at the memorial, some of the assembled Democrats boo'ed her.

Booing Jan for being FOR open borders that allowed such a serious over load of the Federal Court System so seriously that a Federal Judge trying to find a Congress Person at a Safeway Store to plead for help, where he and her were shot to death by a user of the drugs flowing across the border, who was rejected by the miltary for that use, in a county where the Sheriff thinks Open Borders is all good and no arrests for anything is necessary. No. Jan is NOT for Open Borders.

And yes, the Dems that boo'ed her have still not learned one thing. Thwy are hopelessly worthless.

#14 More Obama healings:

On Wednesday evening, President Obama told the nation:

I have just come from the University Medical Center, just a mile from here, where our friend Gabby courageously fights to recover even as we speak. And I want to tell you -- her husband Mark is here and he allows me to share this with you -- right after we went to visit, a few minutes after we left her room and some of her colleagues in Congress were in the room, Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. (Applause.)

<.....and like a scratched record he continued.....>

Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. (Sustained applause.)

Gabby opened her eyes.

Gabby opened her eyes, so I can tell you she knows we are here. She knows we love her. And she knows that we are rooting for her through what is undoubtedly going to be a difficult journey. We are there for her.

#15 Judge: "Before we start the trial, would the foreman of the jury like to say anything?"
Foreman: "We find the defendant guilty of all charges"
Defense attorney: "Objection, your honor"
Judge:"Overruled"
