Finally, a court that has not been intimidated by this administration.

I'll bet that they judge who found Obamacare's provision of forced insurance purchases to be unconsitutional is wondering about his future employment status.

Good to see a judge with both eyes AND a spine.

This is still an open case. It will finally be decided by the Supreme Court.

The judge's job is no in danger. He is there for life unless he commits a crime and I doubt that will happen. His decision may be overturned. Time will tell.

His nickname "Hang Em Harry" is a rather telling name. Also, it really does not seem that fairness or facts enter into, at least some of his decisions.

Early in his career, Hudson stated: "I live to put people in jail."[6] In what Hudson described as a "career-defining case", he prosecuted David Vazquez, a mentally retarded Arlington resident, for a 1984 rape and murder. Hudson's prosecution was based on a confession given by Vazquez after repeated interrogations, despite the fact that semen found at the crime scene did not match Vazquez.[5] Threatened by Hudson with the death penalty, Vazquez submitted an Alford plea and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.[7] However, inconsistencies in the case led detectives to continue to pursue leads, ultimately linking Timothy Spencer, a serial killer, to the murder.[5] Vazquez, who had already served 5 years in prison, was exonerated by Hudson's successor. Faced with the evidence of wrongful conviction, Hudson wrote of Vazquez in his memoirs: "I certainly wish him the best, and regret what happened. However I offer no apologies."[7]

No apology implies, IMHO, no regrets that he sent an innocent man to jail.

I find it hilarous that billwald and Crabby feel qualified to judge the judicial career and qualifications of Henry Hudson...

...on no more than a wikipedia article. :laugh:

As Michael Scott of "The Office" fame pointed out...

"Wikipedia is a website where anyone in the world can write anything that they want on any subject. And you just can't get better information than that."

No doubt Crabby and billwald believe that too. :laugh:

Tainted Judge Henry Hudson

Tar ... how do you like this quote:

In Scalia’s words, “where Congress has the author ity to enact a regulation of interstate commerce, it possesses every power needed to make that regulation effective.” Judge Hudson, however, waved this rule away with a cryptic statement that the Affordable Care Act doesn’t fit within “the letter and spirit of the Constitution.”

This utter failure to even explain why he was ignoring the Constitution’s clear command led several conservative commentators to dismiss Hudson’s amateurish legal reasoning.

Key phrase is "where Congress has the authority"

and Congress does NOT have the authority to mandate health care - along with hundreds of others programs they have enacted. Up until now, most folks have just rolled over and played dead with the philosophy that you cant beat City Hall. Looks like folks are beginning to wake up now.

Using that line of reasoning - Congress could bring back slavery if they thought that it was necessary to make a regulation effective.

Do you agree that Congress has that power?

There you go again, trying to derail the thread. What is your opinion of "Hang Em Harry". Would you trust a judge who says his goal in life is putting people in prison? And, one who obviously ignored evidence in putting an innocent person in jail?

Do you really believe he is concerned with the Constitution or his own political philosophy?

The topic is the court decision that forcing citizens to buy insurance is uncontitutional.

Clean your glasses, Mr. Magoo.

Poor example as that was specifically refered to in the constitution. But I do get your point. Here is a better example: Suppose Congress passed a law that in addition to your state or Commonwealth vehicle registeration' you also had to have a national registration of your vehicles so in event of a national emergency, the govt would know which vehicles they could confiscate to meet federal needs.

And you tried to led it down another path. It is your modus operandi.

I stand by my first post. This is an open case and will finally be decided by the Supreme Court. The more I read about Hudson the more inclined I am to believe he will be overturned.

Why would a guy named "Henry Hudson" be called "Hang em Harry" ?

Actually I made a mistake. It was not/is not Hang Em Harry," it was/is "Hang Em High Harry." Now to your question, why would he be called that?

During his career as a prosecutor, Hudson earned a reputation as a "hard-line and zealous crime fighter" nicknamed "Hang 'Em High Henry".[4][5] Early in his career, Hudson stated: "I live to put people in jail."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_E._Hudson

Would you trust a judge who made such a statement? And who sent an innocent man to jail even though there was strong evidence he was innocent?

And did he have a conflict of interest whereby he should have removed himself from the case?

The federal judge set to issue one of the first decisions on the Obama administration's health care law has financial ties to both the attorney general who is challenging the law and to a powerhouse conservative law firm whose clients include prominent Republican officials and critics of reform.

His name is HENRY.

It makes no sense to call him "Hang Em High Harry"

His name is not HARRY.

Clean those glasses !

Actually, I was more pointing out that in your rush to condemn the man, playing along with Bill Wald's hijacking of the thread (something you dishonestly blame on other people), you overlooked an obvious fact. Your modus operandi. The truth is, he was approved for his post on the federal bench, after the episode you describe, so it seems the accusation is impotent.

Kinda like the sources you cite.

So prove what is said wrong ... or are yu simply trying to derail the thread again, seeing as how you are not appearing rational in this thread.

Would you trust a judge with his track record, nickname, and appearance of disregarding evidence?
