I don't know if compuware should have hired this guy or not but the judgemental remark you made smajka about hiring an exfelon kind of pisses me off. Who do you think you are? There are many many exfelons accross this country who are successful, there are some out of Washington D.C.,wall street and maybe one or two from your own nieghborhood. I don't like the ex mayor any more than you do,but who am I to judge.

Magistrate Hluchaniuk was assigned to the case to review the text messages along with Magistrate Whalen. That whole process has come under scrutiny. Magistrate Hluchaniuk has issued order after in my Federal Case: 5:08-cv-10729-JCO-MJH to stop my pursuit of benefits against Ford. Ford has continually changed my medical group policies, employment records, benefits, life insurance and refused accommodation and even refused to write restrictions to my genetic medical conditions. At the root of this issue is Granholm who has placed individuals from anti-disability lawfirms such as, Keinbaum Opperwall Hardy and Pelton in positions to stop lawsuits. These include: Kelvin Scott - Director of MDCR, Attorney Greivance Commission, Attorney Discipline Board, Michigan State Bar: Eric Pelton and Thomas Keinbaum, Timothy Howlett. The Judiciary Selection Committee and Board of Law Examiners: Elizabeth Hardy. Who also was on the Board of directors at Wayne State and on the Wayne State Medical Board while she litigated Ford on Disability and Civil Rights issues causing a HUGE conflict of interest considering Wayne State is connected to Karmanos, DMC, JVHL, BCBS, BCN and Quest labs and Ford self-funds and self-registers their benefit plans in medical. Ms. Hardy even wrote a Six Sigma Project for Ford herself regarding individuals with less than 10 years of services with permanent disabilities and then litigated cases knowing who the individuals were. This year (2009) Ms. Hardy was APPOINTED by the Eastern District of Michigan to represent Foster Care Children against Governor Granholm for abusing her role as the Director of Foster care, this is regardless of their strong ties, personal relationship and conflict of interest. Granholm is pushing for the SEMHIE where Wayne State/Covisint Ford, GM and Chrysler are trying to gain access to employees' health information. These company discriminate and Granholm established clear roadblocks to protect disabled, veterans and seniors!

This is the most ridiculous thing I have very seen! Karmanos giving a job to Kilpatrick at Covisint, Covisint is an affiliate of Compuware, Owned by Karmanos, Karmanos and DMC having ties and their connection with Wayne State and the Big 3 and Governor Granholm giving Grants to the South East Michigan Health Information Exchange "SEMHIE" or Michigan Health Information Network "MHIN" in order for Ford, Chrysler, GM, BCBC, BCN, Henry Ford Hospital, U of M, Wayne State, JVHL, Quest Labs, etc. to Share individual's private healthcare information on a computer infrastructure established by these individuals? You have to be kidding me???? Our HIPPA rights are being violated, Ford self-fund and self administers their so-called benefits and medical plans and changes employees information and employment records. Magistrate Hluchaniuk is corrupt!

Kwame's 4th amendment rights (the right against illegal search and seizure) were violated in pursuit of a crime millions of married people are guilty of namely, marital infidelity. An over the top conviction for perjury (a crime rarely adjudicated) that wasted even more tax payer money was conducted. Also, the fact that text messages can be retrieved years after they have been sent, be presented to a kangaroo court and then purposefully released to the media for all the world to see doesn't seem to bother anyone? The document we are all supposed to hold so dear (The Constitution) has been fractured in two. Privacy laws have been ignored. This proves that purient interests and scandal trump the constitution and justice in our society and our legal system is a sham and tool of the monied, powerful and wicked in America. In addition, if President Clinton didn't have to leave office and do jail time for committing the same crime as Kwame why did Kwame have to leave office and serve a jail sentence? What's the difference in these two Men's crimes versus their treatment for the same crime? The only difference I can see is RACE...RACE MATTERS!
