Serious Question for Leftists...

There are literally thousands of judicial decisions out there, by
left-leaning judges, who decided cases based on "warm-and-fuzzy"
rather than the law.

I'd like citations of right-leaning judges twisting the interpretation
of the law.

Really!

No fuzzy-mouthed statements of your own opinion, quote me real
judicial decisions.

Thanks!

1985 NY Fed vs. TX State. The purpose was to protect NY based Texaco
business. So, i guess it qualify as right-leaning action.

That's just a TRO. What I was "hoping" for was some citation of a
right-leaner judge meddling in something forbidden by the
Constitution.

Yes, the SC said NY judge was meddling in TX state action, forbidden
by C.
AFAIK ALL state actions can be appealed to Federal Courts ??

No, first to state SC, then US SC. The US SC said lower Fed and
Appeal Courts had no business meddling in state judiciary systems. It
was unfair for the trial to be in TX or NY. It should have been done
in CA, where getty was based. But the Texaco legal team should have
done that much earlier.

Yes, well, nice try but the left has answered that question a thousand
times on myriad 'talking head' programs and it's 'any decision they
don't like' because that's their nonsensical sophist 'definition' of
'activism' which, in turn, is part and parcel of their favorite
tactics of simply redefining everything and declaring false
equivalencies.

(JT's brain-dead inclusion of alt.binaries.schematics.electronic

Antonin Scalia claims to be just following the law
but if you go over his decisions one by one,
you'll see ideology deeply embedded in the pattern.

I'd like citations of right-leaning judges

The full personhood of corporations:
The Long March of corporate-friendly SCOTUS decisions
dates back to 1886. [1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County_v._Southern_Pacific_Railroad
culminating in unlimited spending on political campaigns
without any transparency required.

I used to be a Leftist. Now I'm a Radical Far Leftist.
Capitalism has reverted to a feudalistic state;
if you're not the lord of the manor, you're just another serf;
the Middle is disappearing and the serf class expands daily.
Think you are immune? Guess again.
The top 0.01% want ALL of the wealth.
It stopped being about what you could *buy* a long time ago.
Now it's just a dick-measuring contest and a power grab
and they won't stop until it's a complete oligarchy.
..

[1] It was actually a clerk who slipped in the personhood provision;
the justices, however, ate it up with a spoon when they saw it.

And of course you failed to produce evidence of so-called left leaning
judges doing what they feel rather than obey the constitution.
"In a dissent, Justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg said
the majority justices adopted an excessively permissive reading of
federal immigration law in authorizing the Arizona statute.

Federal immigration law bars states from imposing civil or criminal
sanctions on those who hire illegal immigrants. But it allows the
states to adopt licensing regulations related to the employment of
illegal immigrants."

Arizona's law IS a "licensing law".

How about dumbshit judge "Sumi"? I'll not tell you what that judge
did, figuring you're too ignorant to know on your own :)

Immigration is a federal issue, plain and simple. To interpret the law
otherwise means the judge is an activist.

Now excuse me while I mail Bernie Sanders some free speech, er I mean
money.

I can't tell you the case numbers, but there were two guys in Texas,
both charged with pulling the trigger in a murder case. Went to trial
separately. First guy got convicted, second guy's lawyer said "you've
proved that my client's finger wasn't on the trigger, you can't say that
again". No go -- judge let it happen, then it was upheld. IIRC, all
the way to the Supreme Court.

Two guys. One bullet. One trigger. Two 1st-degree murder convictions,
gained by putting the suspect's finger on the trigger. The SAME DA in
both cases. One of those convictions was obviously bogus.

But that's OK -- no prosecuting attorneys or judges had _their_ rights
diminished. Only the rest of us.

So, two guys get together and kill someone. Either one COULD and
WOULD have pulled the trigger, but you say that, in reality, only one
of them actually did it. But, are not both of them equally guilty
under the law? If you can prove, to a reasonable doubt, that either
of them did!

So, that's the approach the DA should have taken. Not the obvious --
and obviously government sanctioned -- lie that _both_ of them,
_separately_ shot _one_ fatal shot.

I'm all for putting the bad guys in jail, and in this case it was
obvious that both fellows colluded to kill their victim. But letting
the DA get away with his lie means that he can lie about _me_ or _you_
when we're completely innocent. Then unless we have barrels full of
money we're going to go to jail or worse, and when they're done with us
we won't have any money at all.

When we give up our liberty for security, we will find ourselves with
neither.

There are literally thousands of judicial decisions out there, by
left-leaning judges, who decided cases based on "warm-and-fuzzy"
rather than the law.

I'd like citations of right-leaning judges twisting the interpretation
of the law.

Really!

No fuzzy-mouthed statements of your own opinion, quote me real
judicial decisions.

I can't tell you the case numbers, but there were two guys in Texas,
both charged with pulling the trigger in a murder case. Went to trial
separately. First guy got convicted, second guy's lawyer said "you've
proved that my client's finger wasn't on the trigger, you can't say that
again". No go -- judge let it happen, then it was upheld. IIRC, all
the way to the Supreme Court.

Two guys. One bullet. One trigger. Two 1st-degree murder convictions,
gained by putting the suspect's finger on the trigger. The SAME DA in
both cases. One of those convictions was obviously bogus.

But that's OK -- no prosecuting attorneys or judges had _their_ rights
diminished. Only the rest of us.
Besides that being only your claim as to what allegedly happened in
supposed cases for which you provide no source or evidence, what law
are you alleging the judge 'reinterpreted' to suit his fancy?
