The story about a judge who's husband and mother were murdered execution style in their home makes me mad. I'm as mad at the media as anything. Hale, who has been mentioned often in relation to this story is constanly being called a racist and heading up a white supremacy group. They need to call a spade a spade. Hale heads up a group of terroristic Christians!!! Hale constantly goes on about the Jewish people and how they are undermining the Christians. Jewish people are white too, so I think the truth needs to be told. Do the media feel that you can't use a term like "Terroristic Christian group", after-all, it's Muslims that are terrorists!!! In case you can't tell, I'm ticked. I'm a Christian, but I'm against people like this group and the Christian Coalition that use the name of Christ to do evil. I want to see some truth in the Media. Am I asking too much?

I'd like to think the problem is not systemic, but it remains to be seen how quickly this case is resolved and the killers imprisoned. I'd like to know why there hasn't been any statement of outrage from public officials, beginning with the President. It's hard to imagine this kind of nonchalance in a country that prides itself on the rule of law and under a President who is enforcing the "rule of law" in the rest of the world. Our blindspot to our own terrorist groups will haunt us, and eventually hurt us all.

There have been statements of outrage from local and state leaders regarding these murders. One would think Mr. Law and Order (aka President Bush) would have said something regarding this case, but I guess he has his hands full at this time. If this murder goes unsolved, there are very scary and very real ramifications for any judge. How could they effectively do their job if they are constantly worried about their family being murdered?

It now appears the white supremacists had nothing to do with the killings.
New info on killings

A man killed himself in WI following a traffic stop. Material in his van ties him to the Lefkow murders.

"In the suicide note, Ross blamed a Lefkow decision in a medical malpractice lawsuit for costing him “his house, his job and family,” one source in the investigation told the Tribune. "

WGN's noon news noted that the traffic stop that led to the perp's suicide was based on a broken taillight and illegal turn. Score another one for the "broken windows" approach to crime control - and diligent police work!

Judge Lefkow appears to have been a most unfortunate choice. In her opinion dismissing Ross's suit, she took care not to discount the seriousness of the matters alleged in his claims, which is something judges rarely do.

Good NYTimes story on her personal life here. Though the stuff about Hale is outdated now.
