Hon. Loretta A. Preska (S.D.N.Y.)
Preska is dishonorable and corrupt. She will lie to hurt litigants and attorneys. There is something very sinister about her. She has no concern for truth or justice. It can't be too soon until shes off the bench.

Recently had a sentencing before him. He was fully prepared, patient, polite. Asked smart questions. Was straightforward about his thinking so we had an opportunity to address issues of concern. No bullshit. No drama. An excellent judge.

Hon. Ralph R. Beistline (D.Alaska)
[Redacted by Ed.] What judge in his right mind refers to a heiron dealer as being a victim. Are you serious?? SO Many cases of this Judge Beistline show him giving sentences of the same charges one person was given 10 yrs. Another for the exact same charges with no prior charges he gave 20 yrs His cases prove he gives ones he knows completely different sentences to one he doesn't know. All this will surface soon. This judge took a life completely away from one but gave the other one with same charges except for this one had recently been released from prison for murder NOW TELL ME THAT WAS NOT BIAS. Federal Prison has away of changing people making them a better person. This judge was horrible for what he done but remember everything comes out sooner or later. We now have the right attorney that's making it possible to expose this judge. [Redacted by Ed.]

Seems affable at first, but his temperament has much to be desired. Interrupts, yells, talks loudly over people. Goes off on long tangents, laughing at his own jokes and promoting his own academia. Pray you are on the calendar in the beginning - he becomes more belligerent as the morning progresses. Appears to have an issue with women lawyers. Witnessed him mocking a pro per litigant with an obviously mental disability (and then make a joke of her after she disconnected from the hearing). Not what you would expect from an officer of the court.

Hon. Matthew F. Leitman (E.D.Mich.)
This man had no business being appointed a U.S. district judge and his appointment displays just how political the appointment process is. This man never tried a criminal jury trial. He was a briefcase carrier for an attorney at an established firm. This man is extremely liberal and cannot be fair to government counsel. He releases very dangerous people. His mentor was the late Art Tarnow, an extremely biased and lawless federal judge. Leitman over analyzes every legal issue; fortunately, he is terrified of being overruled on appeal.

Hon. Dennis M. Cota (E.D.Cal.)
Guy was in business for years defending evildoers from citizen claims, and acts like that is still his job. He's snarky, with a lot of hubris, but lacks the scholarship to back it up. Makes mistakes often enough and big enough to get slapped down by Pro Se litigants - which is pretty funny.

Hon. J. Harvie Wilkinson III (C.C.A)
A true amnerican hero is revealed in the form of a conservative intellectual titan. Some excerpts: It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart ofthe matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents ofthis country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense ofliberty that Americans farremoved from courthouses still hold dear. **** It is in this atmosphere that we are reminded of President Eisenhower's sage example. Putting his "personal opinions" aside, President Eisenhower honored his “inescapable" duty to enforce the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education II to desegregate schools "with all deliberate speed.” Address by the President of the United States, Delivered from his Office at the White House 1-2 (Sept. 24, 1957); 349 U.S. 294 , 301 (1955). This great man expressed his unflagging beliefthat “[t]he very basis of our individual rights and freedoms is the certainty that the President and the Executive Branch of Government will support and [e] nsure the carrying out of the decisions of the Federal Courts.” Id. at 3. Indeed, in our late Executive's own words, "[u]nless the President did so, anarchy would result.” Id. Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations ofits illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph. It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule oflaw as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time. **** Should be required reading in all schools.
