The whole thing just sounds like partisan noise. Democrats do the same thing; now, it's the GOP's turn. The sketchy details of the hospital deal do not prove any wrongdoing; I would be inclined to view the situation with suspicion if the plaintiff who settled came forward to complain. Instead, a third-party is complaining. It is unclear that the firm is obligated to release information to the research institute. This is really about business interests. But the Constitution delegates judicial appointments to the political process -- which is all this is about (politics).Darren Lenard Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303769200481824426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-89221959273947781652010-06-17T14:52:18.643-04:002010-06-17T14:52:18.643-04:00Mike is very likely correct when he suggests caret...Mike is very likely correct when he suggests caretaker22 is nothing more than a sock puppet. It is clear caretakeeper22 has more than a casual interest in McConnell and the law firm. So, why won't caretaker22 actually identify himself?Rick Cairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08245560010738892296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-4223384820709742082010-06-17T13:08:22.986-04:002010-06-17T13:08:22.986-04:00caretaker22

Maybe you should respond to the points in Jacobson's post instead of making up assertions as you go.<br /><br />Or are you just a sockpuppet for Whitehouse, since your "argument" sounds just the same as his; irrelevant as well as false.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067705499934991249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-91744915759511338652010-06-17T12:15:18.779-04:002010-06-17T12:15:18.779-04:00Wow, it sounds like the biggest complaint they hav...Wow, it sounds like the biggest complaint they have against this guy is that he is a democrat and a lawyer who fights for his clients. <br /><br />Would the Chamber of Commerce be happy if their were no law firms that fought for the interests of it's business clients? Aren't they really just upset because this man has been successful fighting to hold businesses accountable for the damage they have done to average people in Rhode Island?<br /><br />The Chamber of Commerce will not be happy until the right of average citizens to have a trial by jury is stripped away from them. That way corporations can put profits ahead of people without consequence. <br /><br />And this whole "pledge" argument is crap. They said they would donate money to a hospital. They had a defendant who would not settle if the law firm profited. The two parties found a way to benefit a hospital and settle a case in a way that both parties could agree on. The argument that somehow the law firm profited by having the company donate to the hospital is ludicrous. A pledge is not a contract and there would have been no consequences to the law firm if for whatever reason they could not fulfill the pledge. They found a creative way to do so while ending a case in a way that was palatable to both parties. Good for them.<br /><br />I will just end with this comment. Is this website willing to go on the record and say that people who donate money to a party should not be a judge? If that is the case, half of the conservative judiciary should be impeached. Is this website willing to go on the record and say that those types of donations are bad? If so, let's restrict corporations from donating lots of money. <br /><br />Don't smear this man because you don't agree with his politics. The hypocrisy is just ridiculous.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753951839868135935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-34789693144023462432010-06-17T11:51:27.531-04:002010-06-17T11:51:27.531-04:00So let me see if I get this straight - a corrupt, ...So let me see if I get this straight - a corrupt, politically active "progressive" bribed his way into a judicial appointment in an administration loaded with political thugs and hacks from Chicago.<br /><br />That doesn't even sound like a story - clearly not surprising and in no way "man bites dog".<br /><br />If that's the only outrageous thing that the barack hussein obama regime does today -- it's a slow day.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
