You want to put incompetent, corrupt, racist judges on the bench. That's typical Republican thinking. Corruption = good. Racism = good. Incompetence = good. Stupidity-incompetence-corruption. Yep, everyone should happily vote for these lifetime appointments. Perhaps if they were outright Nazis or outed sexual perverts Republicans would be pushing even harder for them. ========This is Owens. YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS DID YOU? Thought so. You think it's ok to cause such pain and suffering to a 14 year old boy by a judge taking money from the defendant's lawyers. You're immoral to the core. ====================== "...The boy's chest hit the dashboard, tearing all the posterior ligaments that keep the skull in its proper place in relation to the spinal column" (ibid). What does that mean? It means a fourteen-year-old boy was left paralyzed and requiring a ventilator to breathe. It means a child was left needing "attendance twenty-four hours a day -- in order to stay alive"... Due to what was seen as a faulty seat belt, Willie's parents sued Ford. Ford tried to delay the trial early on. Willie's family got lucky at first, their judge was Donald Ross and he refused to delay the trial.... The trial moved quickly and the jury found Ford liable and awarded thirty million dollars in actual damages and ten million dollars in puntive damages.... Ford hires Baker Botts to defend them in their appeal. Proving that the house always wins, one of the judges hearing the appeal had earlier received $24,450 in contributions from Baker Botts. By the way, this judge has a name, Priscilla Owens.... So when Owens, writing for the court, hands down the opinion (1996) you probably aren't surprised to learn that her symathies aren't with a paralyzed child. One who need costly medical care to live. Her concerns are elsewhere.... Willie died waiting for justice.... thecommonills.blogspot.com ========= Yes it's quite fair to say that Owens, corrupt judge, delayed Willie's case in order to let Ford off the hook. AmericanFascism.
