Not really surprising, but still goes to show how radical a 2nd Term would be. President Obama pledges illegal alien “amnesty” via “comprehensive immigration reform” if he wins re-election.
Remember, this is a strategic plan being executed.
THE HILL – Obama vowed in an interview with Univision to pursue comprehensive immigration reform and attacked Romney and GOP lawmakers, saying they would oppose his efforts.
President Obama promised to pursue immigration reform in his second term, but said Republicans in Congress may keep him from succeeding. (more…)
It is a violation of legal prosecutorial ethics, and legal ethical standards, for a prosecutor to overcharge a case specifically with the intention of coercing the defendant to accept a lower charge plea.
Justice Requires The charge MUST ethically be based on justifiable facts.
Anyone who doubts the severe and radical political agenda(s) behind the Trayvon Martin shooting, and the subsequent State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case, is just being intellectually dishonest. We have outlined many of the agendas HERE, and HERE, and HERE. Other people have also recognized the agenda’s HERE.
We have even outlined the prosecutorial challenges and evidenced the over-charging of the case HERE.
Now we’ve had the time to digest the actual affidavit of Probable Cause, and weigh the State attorney statements against her filings, we can even more clearly see the agenda behind the short-sighted, and highly political, decision of Angela Corey. (more…)
Two developments: First, George Zimmerman has a bail bond hearing Friday April 20th before first term Judge Jessica Recksiedler (aged 39). Additionally recent information reveals that Judge Recksiedler’s husband’s law firm, NeJame Law, declined representation for Mr. Zimmerman which might provide a potential conflict of interest.
Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara has coordinated a Bond hearing next week and the judge in the case has also requested any consideration for her removal, or recusal, be submitted at or before such hearing. The not so surprising announcement came after O’Mara — a respected lawyer best known for his cable TV commentary on sensational Florida trials like the Casey Anthony case — said he didn’t expect Zimmerman to be tried this year.

One of the biggest challenges for President Obama, and his team’s strategy for relection, is most apparent when various fragments of the leftist base are presented with a situation which puts them in opposition to each other.
Such is the case with President Obama’s positioning regarding the Trayvon Martin case. As an outcome to his opportunistic positioning team Obama have to balance the ideological voting base of Hispanics in conjunction to Blacks. The advocacy against George Zimmerman has created a tenuous position for team Obama. (more…)
Having read the actual affidavit myself I am in complete agreement with Professor Dershowitz. Additionally, I am now convinced more than ever that Angela Corey made a STRATEGIC POLITICAL DECISION. Period.
(Via Mediaite) Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball where fill-in host Michel Smerconish asked him his opinions of the arrest warrant issued and carried out for alleged Trayvon Martin murderer, George Zimmerman. Dershowitz called the affidavit justifying Zimmerman’s arrest “not only thin, it’s irresponsible.” He went on to criticize the decision to charge Zimmerman for second degree murder by special prosecutor Angela Cory as being politically motivated.
“You’ve seen the affidavit of probable cause. What do you make of it,” Smerconish asked. “It won’t suffice,” Dershowitz replied without hesitation.

“Most affidavits of probable cause are very thin. This is so thin that it won’t make it past a judge on a second degree murder charge,” Dershowitz said. “There’s simply nothing in there that would justify second degree murder.” (more…)
“I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends”…..
In typical alinsky organizational fashion the White House comfortably retreats, puts their feet up, and becomes a spectator…. (via GatewayPundit) After helping stir up a national race war, the White House said today that Barack Obama is through talking about Trayvon Martin. Yahoo reported:
President Barack Obama will not be commenting further on the Trayvon Martin case, the White House said Wednesday as the Associated Press reported that charges were being filed against the teenager’s killer, George Zimmerman. (more…)
First of all I just want to thank God; We simply wanted an arrest; we wanted nothing more than an arrest. We wanted nothing more, nothing less; We just wanted an arrest, and we got it, and I say thank you. Thank you Lord; Thank you Jesus….

And there you have it, the ulterior motive, the hidden agenda:
MONEY !
The Trayvon family is not seeking justice in the form you would think. No, they are seeking monetary justice, or more directly monetary gain. THAT is the motivation; and the absence of an “arrest” is what stood between them and their ability to sue in civil court”. (more…)
(ABC News) Michelle Williams is the Chief of Staff with the local chapter of the New Black Panther Party. As a community activist, she has also worked very closely with both the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office as well as the Tampa Police Department:
“Let me tell you something, the things that is about to happen to these honkeys, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these motherfuckin’ people, it has been long over due.”
Let there be no doubt the decision to charge George Zimmerman with 2nd Degree Murder is a political decision first, and a legal decision second.
The Politics
There will no doubt be those who would naively state politics was not part of the legal consideration and decision. That is a ridiculously disingenuous position. Angela Corey is an ELECTED official. Get that. ELECTED. So yes politics are inherently woven into the decisions of highly public cases. Politics, and the politicians who engage in it, are tied at the hip to being swayed by public opinion. It doesn’t matter the legal profession of the politician, they are a politician first and a lawyer second.

During a scheduled press conference today Special Prosecutor Angela Corey announced she is charging George Zimmerman with: 2nd Degree Murder
Florida Statute 782.04 – The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
He is in custody.
In short he is accused of the unlawful killing of another, with specific intent but without malice of forethought.
