So his only hope is an Obama appointment.
When Republican women's clubs are passing resolutions calling for the removal or defeat of a Republican elected official, particularly a judge, and that judge also even is crosswise with Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, that judge is politically doomed. He's one of those zippy pinhead types who thinks he's very clever when really he is just a fool with it all transparent to those who matter - Republican primary voters.
But people, Republicans, recognize he is just trying to play kiss-ass with Obama and the Democrats - and Republicans will trash him out in the next primary. Judge Kenneth Lester thinks he's clever in repeating his hardnosed "To hell with due process, truth, evidence and law" as a renegade maverick out to get the bad guys as he decides as a little self appointed demigod. Sean Hannity, the second most influential and someone who never lets go of anything once he fixated on it, flew to Florida specifically for an EXTREMELY rare entire 1 hour interview making it clear he supports Zimmerman's side, though not outright saying so. O'Reilley came out yesterday furious over releasing undocumented accusations against Zimmerman for "child molesting" - condemning the prosecutor specifically. If he is against you and your are running as a Republican, you have no chance. THE most influential person in Republican politics is Bill O'Reilly. Just ask Charlie Crist how that worked out for him. Republicans in Florida are well aware of Democrats-in-Republican-clothing like Kenneth Lester, who decide to play kiss-ass with President Obama and national Democrats. Republican clubs (and in this region) are passing resolutions calling for his removal and primary defeat if not. He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell at surviving the next Republican primary. He is dependent upon winning Republican primaries to stay a judge. But that just shows how irrational, not just corrupt and incompetent, he is. Judge Kenneth Lester apparently truly believes he'll get a lifelong appointment to a federal bench via Obama if he continued to trash Obama's surrogate son.
