Judge Robertson, I believe, was Clintons token gay appointment. He has a Barney Frank lisp, if you know what I mean.

Good question....

Zot has taken on a life of its own here on FR now it seems.

"He didn't resign as a District judge, only from the special panel. So, he keeps his perks of power and that income flow."

Thanks, I did not realize he was a double dipper. Appears he has just created for himself a list of cases he will have to recuse himself from.

CNN reported yesterday that this judge had only 5 months left to serve on this court. How does the WashCompost know his resignation was over the NSA dust-up? Since he did not issue a statement, they are just wishful thinking, as usual.

C'mon...why would a clintoon appointee resign? There's more to this than meets the eye, IMHO.

Political hack: He's USING this resignation to get face-time in the news media for the democrats, for opposing Bush.

As an "impartial" judge, this is a WONDERFUL propaganda tool!

So was this judge upset over Clinton's treatment of (Haitian) detainees at Guantanamo? Supposedly, their conditions were terrible. Or is he only troubled when a Republican is in charge?

If this Judge so much as says "Boo" to anybody about what went on in this court, he should be tossed in jail for the next thousand years.

He probably has already reached the amount of service time necessary to retire with benefits from the Judiciary. This is just an afterthought in connection that will allow him to write a book, take $$$$$ for appearances with Cutie Katie, et. al......The big win for conservatives is that this liberal piece of judicial trash will not be around to render any more "verdicts".
