From Fox News: Sen. Charles Schumer's brother-in-law was quietly nominated this month to a federal judgeship in New Jersey -- a move that has some in the Garden State crying political foul, The New York Post has learned.
Kevin McNulty, who is married to Schumer's sister, Fran, was named to the U.S. District Court by the White House late on Friday, Dec. 16. According to a boilerplate quote, President Obama believes McNulty is a "distinguished individual" who "will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice."
New Jersey's two US senators, Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, followed that up with their own news release heaping praise on the nominee.
What no one mentioned is that McNulty, 57, was the last-minute choice of Lautenberg, who had been leaning toward other candidates until surprisingly submitting McNulty's name to the White House.
Lautenberg and his aides have given no public explanation for the decision to go with McNulty even though the latter had never been publicly touted as a contender for the job, which carries life tenure and a $174,000-a-year salary.
"No one knows why he did it," said one person involved in the nomination process. "Everyone thinks it's all about 2014 and Frank making sure he has Chuck in his corner."

From Crybaby Harry Reid influencing the City of Henderson, NV. to hire his son as city attorney and now Chucky Schumer getting his brother-in-law on the Federal Court to many other politicians of both parties using their power to have no bid contracts, free loans or getting relatives hired by the local or federal government agencies, the power of the politicians is getting way out of control. And the politicians don't even hide it anymore- they don't care if people know they are doing something wrong. They know other politicians and the news media will protect them.
There needs to be a revolution in this country and it has to start in the 2012 elections and throw all the politicians who have been in the House more than 10 years and Senate if they have served more than 12 years. They need to be kicked out, no matter which party they are from.
And there needs o be a discussion about term limits for Senators and House members. It works well in Nevada and other states that have them and it would work well with the federal government as well.
If we don't get of the politicians who have been in Washington D.C. for many years, our Country is sunk.
