Federal District Judge Paul Friedman has ordered to set attempted Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr free. After 35 years Friedman believes Hinckley no longer poses a threat to society and will be permitted to live with his mother.
Friedman was appointed by fmr Pres Bill Clinton… do you now understand the ramifications of who you elect as President? Clinton has been out of office since 2000, yet here we are 16 years later still “feeling” the effects of his administration where an attempted presidential assassin, who also shot 3 people in 1980 along with Pres Reagan, is set free. We’ve yet to feel the impact of obama’s judicial appointments. With one opening on the Supreme Court and more likely another two to be filled people need to think hard when choosing the next President. Actions have consequences, especially when you choose a President who will make judicial appointments, that couldn’t be made any more clearer than today!
