Judge who was voted out is still on the job

Nine weeks after voters relieved her of her duties, District Judge Kristine Cecava of Sidney continues to preside over cases in her western Nebraska district.

State court officials say the Nebraska Constitution provides that judges who are removed from office by voters can continue to serve until a replacement is chosen.
Although the governor appoints Nebraska judges, every six years their names go on the ballot for a vote on whether they should keep their jobs. In the Nov. 4 election, more than 52 percent of voters chose not to keep Cecava as a judge.
 
Her retention vote came two years after she made national headlines by giving a probation sentence, albeit with strict supervision, to a man convicted of sexual contact with child. Cecava had said she feared that the 5-foot-1, 100-pound man could not survive in prison because of his small stature.

Cecava is the eighth judge to be removed by voters since Nebraska adopted its judicial selection process in the early 1960s.
 
(This story from my home state tells me that leaders in Nebraska need to come up with a better and faster way to remove judges after the voters  have voted them out. Read more of this story  Judge who was voted out is still on the job.)

Barack Obama wants to be the "Abortion President

 It looks more and more like Barack Obama wants to be the  "Abortion President" as he names one pro. abortion  hardline activist after another to his  leadership team. The latest looks like it will be  neurosurgeon and CNN medical reporter Sanjay Gupta to become the next Surgeon General.

Here's the story from LifeNews.com. Incoming president Barack Obama appears to be expanding on the steady stream of abortion advocates he is appointing to top administration posts. His latest choice appears to be pro-abortion CNN medical reporter Sanjay Gupta to become the next Surgeon General.

Gupta is a practicing neurosurgeon and considered a media celebrity of sorts for his role in reporting on medical matters for the massive cable news network.

Although Gupta spends most of his time reporting rather than opining on the topics of the day, he appears to favor abortions.

Gupta has been accused of supporting abortions for disabled unborn children, opposing protections for pro-life medical professionals, and denying the risks associated with the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug.

In a December report for CNN, Gupta appeared to join abortion advocates in condemning the Bush administration for approving new regulations that offer more protections for doctors and medical centers not wanting to be involved in abortions.

Tim Tebow Great Person and NFL Picks

Well I was right last night Florida and   Tim Tebow proved they are the best in college football. OU was a good team but Florida was better I also loved what Tim Tebow said after the game about his faith in Jesus.  Good for him. He is a great player and even better person.   NCAA-FloridaGators by you.
Now I am going to try my hand at NFL picks . Here are the games and my picks.

Years ago I was a big Chargers fan. Last week the Chargers beat my current team the Coats. I also have an Aunt and Uncle who live in Pittsburgh. It is snowing in Pittsburgh so that could give the Chargers a hard time but I am going to pick the Chargers but I won't be shocked if Pittsburgh wins.
 My pick here is the Titans but I am not sure.
 
Go with Arizona here.
 
 
This game is a toss up for me. I am going to go with the Giants because of home  field.
Well those are my picks. I am just doing them for fun so please don't put the house on any of my picks.

ILLINOIS HOUSE IMPEACHES BLAGOJEVICH (Breaking News)

 In a dramatic display of anger and solidarity over a political scandal that has made Illinois a national laughingstock, lawmakers on Friday voted 114-1 to impeach disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich. (   BLAGO IMPEACHED...    )

It's the first time in the state's history that the Illinois House has voted to impeach its governor. The impeachment proceedings will now move to the Illinois Senate for trial. That trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 26.

 

The one lawmaker voting against impeachment was Rep. Milton Patterson, a Chicago Demorcrat who represents the South Side. Rep Elga Jefferies, also a Chicago Democrat, voted present.

Before the vote, lawmakers lined up to denounce the governor. They expressed anger and embarrassment over his alleged behavior, which includes a criminal complaint that he attempted to sell President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat.

 

(This was the right move but it took too long. The Gov. has his man in the Senate and most  legal minds I have heard believe his man will be able to stay in the Senate. What should have been done earlier is Democrat leaders should have called for a special election in ILL.  to replace President Obama in the Senate. It is too late for  that now. Oh well at least the Gov. is going to have an Impeachment trial.)

Divorcing husband wants kidney back

When his wife needed a kidney transplant, Dr. Richard Batista gave her one of his, attorney Dominic Barbara said.

Now that Dawnell Batista has filed for a divorce, Richard Batista wants his kidney back as part of his settlement demand. Or, Barbara said Wednesday, his client wants the value of that kidney: An estimated $1.5 million.
Barbara said his client, a 49-year-old doctor from Ronkonkoma who graduated from Cornell University Medical School in 1995, married Dawnell Batista on Aug. 31, 1990. The couple had three children, now ages 14, 11 and 8.

 

(This is sad and shows there is hate in this world and I am sure both parties should share the blame. My heart breaks for their children. This is a reason we need to pray for marriages in our nation and how people need to keep the home fires alive in their own homes. Read more on this issue Divorcing husband wants kidney back.)

PAPER: OBAMA CAMP READY TO OPEN UP DIALOGUE WITH HAMAS... DEVELOPING...

 The incoming Obama administration is prepared to abandon George Bush's ­doctrine of isolating Hamas by establishing a channel to the Islamist organisation, sources close to the transition team say. ( PAPER: OBAMA CAMP READY TO OPEN UP DIALOGUE WITH HAMAS... DEVELOPING...)

The move to open contacts with Hamas, which could be initiated through the US intelligence services, would represent a definitive break with the Bush ­presidency's ostracising of the group. The state department has designated Hamas a terrorist organisation, and in 2006 ­Congress passed a law banning US financial aid to the group.

 

(This is something which should concern all of us. Why should we sit down with people who want to see our nation destroyed along with the Jewish state brought down. They want to kill every person who is not a radical follower of Islam. It is looking more and more like Obama doesn't care about keeping America safe and fighting evil. Shame on him if he does this.Also if he keeps doing things like this and  if we have another 911 attack Obama and those who work for him will be punished by the voters. )

Truth About Gaza

 Around the globe, Jews are being assaulted and are the subject of protests.   There have been arson attacks against Jewish congregations in England, France, and Sweden.

In 2005, thousands of Jews were pulled out of their homes and communities in Gaza

(I am tired of reading and hearing how Israel and the Jews are the bad guys over in the Middle-East. Some have even compared Israel to  Nazi Germany and the Third Reich. That in itself is an outrage. To read more of the above  radio commentary see  the whole  Transcript  or listen to the audio Truth About Gaza . Lets stand behind the nation of Israel.)

Florida and Oklahoma for #1

 

This is the night some housewives can't wait for. After tonight college football is over.

Tonight we will find out who will win the NCAA title as the best football team when  Florida plays OU.  Look where  my X is below and that is my pick. First let me say both teams are pretty good  and I hope it is a good game and clean game, no matter who wins. I believe whoever wins will deserve it. OK my pick is...

Florida
Florida (12-1)----X
Schedule/Results / Bowl History
Oklahoma
Oklahoma (12-1)
Schedule/Results / Bowl History

That is right I am going with Florida. OU. had trouble with Texas and Texas had trouble with Ohio State. I also believe the quarterback for Florida will be able to move the ball against OU. Which ever team does a better job of stopping the other team through the whole game will win and I believe that will be Florida. May the best team win. Again don't put the house on the game. I am just making this pick for fun and see how I do. I am sure all of you OU fans will give me a hard time if I am wrong.

Students adopt a soldier

Allied World War I soldiers by Dunechaser.
War is hell. But in the imaginations of second-graders, the everyday life of soldiers like Ben Chambers is more like play.

To the students at Bryan Elementary in the Millard school district, soldier Ben is someone to wonder about. Someone to whom they can send a handmade holiday or birthday card.

To Chambers' family, he's the son, brother, cousin and nephew constantly on their minds and in their prayers. The one they wish they could have sung "Happy Birthday" to on New Year's Day, when he turned 22.
Chambers, a Bryan alumnus whom the whole school adopted in the fall, is a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Ky. His unit traversed mountains near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan after its permanent outpost was bombed on Thanksgiving.

"Every day when he wakes up, he knows he has to save his life," said his mom, Laura Henry of Omaha.

But the Bryan second-graders aren't told that. Teachers give the children limited information about the Army specialist's duties. Nothing is said of the dangers.

When the second-graders drew birthday cards for Chambers, they were told that their soldier was part of the 3rd Platoon fire support, but that "he's not a fireman."

Obama era expected to end taboo on gays in military...

 Sixteen years after Bill Clinton tried to end restrictions on gays in the military, the US armed forces under Barack Obama may be forced to give homosexuals the same welcome as non-gays.

Under president Clinton, the policy that once saw homosexuals discharged from US military service evolved to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," allowing gays to remain in the military so long as they did not reveal their sexual orientation.

Obama has pledged to overhaul current law.

"The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited," reads an entry on the president-elect's transition website.

Shortly after taking the oath of office in 1993, Clinton originally moved for an outright ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation in the military

 

(If Obama does this it will very much hurt him and  make it more  likely he will be a one term President. The purpose of the arm forces is to defend our great nation and  not encourage the ideas of the radical left. Why should a committed follower of Jesus who is in the arm forces  be forced to sleep next to  a man who might be gay. Read more on this story Obama era expected to end taboo on gays in military.)...
