A St Louis Judge Who "Gets it"

A liberal-bashing book by a veteran St. Louis judge is to become available publicly this week, but it is already causing a stir in political and legal circles — and prompting some to say it could cost him his job.

Speak the truth and wait for the fireworks...it's to be expected. First, a couple of excerpts from his book:

"This is liberal law in a nutshell. History and tradition count for nothing; the language of the Constitution itself counts for little; the only criterion is whether a ruling will advance the liberal agenda." (from the chapter "Ozzie and Harriet are dead" about abortion and the attack on the traditional family)

Sounds like it's right on the money...and another:

"Just as we saw with the femifascists, illiberal liberals don't want equality; they want to make some people more equal than others. And they've made it happen through their dominance of the courts over the past seventy-five years. Liberals have converted the courts from the 'least dangerous' branch of government envisioned by the Founding Fathers to the most dangerous." (from a chapter titled "Making some Americans more equal than others" about the 14th Amendment and equal protection under the law).

I can picture the pigs walking out on their hind legs...Besides reading the book, we were fortunate enough to see the movie "Animal Farm" in a public junior high school English class...To this day, my mind automatically converts the images that I see of people mentioned above into those images of the upright walking pigs...perhaps that's a gift of knowing exactly who they are?

Anyway, it's nice to see a judge expose elements of the judiciary and the abuses of the justice system and our constitution.

Chapter 1 of Circuit Judge Robert H. Dierker Jr.'s book, "The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault," has circulated via e-mail since last month and been widely read in legal circles, lawyers and judges say.

And this has some people going ballistic. Some want him removed from his position. God only knows what the intolerant fringe desires...

State Sen. Joan Bray, D-University City, filed a complaint with the commission [Missouri's Commission on Retirement, Removal and Discipline] last month, citing her concerns with the first chapter. Bray said, "I'm still worrying about women in Missouri being treated fairly in the courtroom." She said she plans a follow-up complaint, based on conversations with lawyers and judges, that would include a complaint that Dierker was violating judicial rules by using his position to promote the book.
. . .
Dierker said that he would fight any challenge vigorously, including potentially taking any discipline to federal court.
. . .
Dierker said that he had to be "polemical" in the book to get attention, and said "controversy is inevitable." But, he said, the controversy may draw attention to an issue that is permeating the law and the judiciary. "If I wrote a law review article, who would read it?" he asked.

"I think unquestionably, the more controversy, the more interest it generates from the mundane to the philosophical," he said.

Dierker said criticism of the book may be unpleasant. But, he adds, "If you dish it out, you have to be able to take it."

That's part of the problem - the intolerant leftists and socialists can't handle the truth...It should be interesting. The official promotion and rolloutof the book is next Tuesday, Jan 2, when Dierker will appear on Bill O'Reilly's show.
