Marilyn Mackel has stooped to a new low in judicial abuse and activism. The Los Angeles Children’s Court Commissioner, who works in Monterey Park, does not deserve to be called Your Honor after what she did. Mackel, an anti-war individual denied Shawn Sage early enlistment in the US Marine Corps as a sniper, which included a $10,000 signing bonus, as part of the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) last fall. Sage, a young man in the California foster care system, who has the support of his foster parents to enlist was denied based solely on Mackel’s anti-war, anti-military views. This is a shame and this woman should be stripped of her position and disbarred, as she has no business working in any legal career.
Mackel reportedly told Sage that she did not support the war or military, and that she did not trust recruiters. Her bailiff even put in his two cents, mentioning that his son was in the Army DEP program and that the recruiters did not care about young people, only caring about the numbers. Sage’s recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano expressed a feeling of being “burned at the stake.” Mackel has committed this offense before, denying DEP to a person desiring to enter the Navy.
This ordeal inspired Sage to enter the “Write a Bill Challenge”, which resulted in his entry winning and becoming AB2238, sponsored by Republican Assemblyman Cameron Smyth. The bill allows foster children 17 or older to enlist in the services as long as they have the consent of their foster parents or social worker. I do hope that this bill passed, so that activist liberal judges can no longer deny motivated Americans the opportunity to serve.
This is just the latest liberal abuse from California. Earlier this year, the Bezerkeley (I mean Berkeley) City Council passed a resolution calling Marine recruiters “uninvited and unwelcome intruders” and allowing anti-war radical group Code Pink parking in front of the recruiting station for protesting purposes. The outrage prompted lawmakers to draft legislation rescinding federal funds, which forced the council to backtrack on their treason.
Marilyn Mackel, you should be ashamed of yourself, denying a young man his dream to serve his country. You should resign immediately, apologize to those foster kids who you abused for partisan reasons. Your actions border on treason, as they can be interpreted to constitute rendering aid and comfort to the enemy. Americans, wake up and stand up to activist liberal judges that seem to feel it their duty to make law rather than interpret. Let your voice be heard with regard to the rights of foster children to serve their country. Finally, pray for Shawn Sage, as he prepares to serve his country in the summer.
