'''Tom McMahon''' is the current [[mayor]] of [[Reading, Pennsylvania|Reading]], [[Pennsylvania]]. He was re-elected to a second term in 2007.

== Fighting Crime ==

Mayor Tom McMahon's ideas to curb crime have not gone well. His main proposal was to create an art gallery known as The Goggle Works, a 9 million dollar pork project paid with state taxpayer money. Most recently, The Goggle Works was the site of criminal activity where a Pennsylvania State Trooper was caught fondling a 15 year old girl while a member of her family was taking a dance class. <ref name="Sexual Acts At The Goggle Works">[http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=48599 Trooper at Reading station charged in assault, stalking], Reading Eagle</ref>

After Reading Police Officer Scott Wertz was murdered in cold blood by Cletus Rivera, Mayor McMahon chose to exploit Officer Wertz and his family to justify a property tax increase to "fight crime."

Earl Warren

2007-06-15T23:50:45Z

Dirtybirdy78: Adding details to the political favor, and confirming the regretted appointment with a source.

'''Earl Warren,''' (1891-1974) was an [[United States|American]] judge, best known for his role as Chief Justice of the [[Supreme Court]] from 1953 to 1969.

==Early Professional Life==
Prior to serving on the Court, Warren was a prosecutor and politician. As governor of [[California]], Warren had supervised the World War II Japanese internments discussed in the famous ''Korematsu v. U.S.'' case. In 1948, Warren was the Republican Vice Presidential nominee. President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] appointed Warren to the [[Supreme Court]] as a political favor in recognition of Warren’s support at the 1952 Republican convention and his stature in the GOP. Years later Eisenhower stated that he regretted ever appointing Earl Warren. [http://www.popmatters.com/pm/books/reviews/7733/justice-for-all-earl-warren-and-the-nation-he-made-by-jim-newton/]

===Brown v. Board of Education===
Warren acceded to the position of [[Chief Justice]] while ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' was being reargued at the behest of associate Justice [[Frankfurter]], who ordered re-argument as a stalling tactic, to allow the Justice to gather a unanimous consensus around a liberal ''Brown'' opinion that would outlaw [[segregation]]. Associate Justice [[Vinson]] was one such stumbling block.

Warren convened a meeting of the associate justices, and presented to them the simple argument that the only reason to sustain segregation was an honest belief in the inferiority of [[African American]]s. Warren further submitted that the Court must overrule ''Plessy'' to maintain its legitimacy as an institution of liberty, and it must do so unanimously to avoid massive Southern resistance. He began to build a unanimous opinion.

Although many justices were convinced, Warren spent some time after this famous speech convincing two holdouts for segregation to sign onto the opinion. The first holdout, Justice Vinson, died during this initiative. The second finally decided to drop his dissent to what was by then a moderate opinion backed by the remaining six justices.

Liberals consider Warren's final opinion a political masterwork, not just for his political gamesmanship, but for his general writing, making use of dubious social science research to draw legal conclusions, and laying the groundwork for forced racial busing.

===The Warren Court, Continued===
Chief Justice Warren authored a number of other cases, such as the case defining American citizens' [[Miranda]] rights. He was a judicial supremacist, and succeeded in asserting court power beyond what had previously been accepted.

Dirtybirdy78: Taking out the offensive quote. I thought only Liberals were in the P.C. Business?

'''Earl Warren,''' (1891-1974) was an [[United States|American]] judge, best known for his role as Chief Justice of the [[Supreme Court]] from 1953 to 1969.

==Early Professional Life==
Prior to serving on the Court, Warren was a prosecutor and politician. As governor of [[California]], Warren had supervised the Japanese internments discussed in the famous ''Korematsu v. U.S.'' case, now reviled as an example of America at its worst. President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] appointed Warren to the [[Supreme Court]] as a political favor. Years later President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] stated that appointing Earl Warren was the biggest mistake he ever made.

===Brown v. Board of Education===
Warren acceded to the position of [[Chief Justice]] while ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' was being reargued at the behest of associate Justice [[Frankfurter]], who ordered re-argument as a stalling tactic, to allow the Justice to gather a unanimous consensus around a liberal ''Brown'' opinion that would outlaw [[segregation]]. Associate Justice [[Vinson]] was one such stumbling block.

Warren convened a meeting of the associate justices, and presented to them the simple argument that the only reason to sustain segregation was an honest belief in the inferiority of [[African American]]s.

Warren acceded to the position of [[Chief Justice]] while ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' was being reargued at the behest of associate Justice [[Frankfurter]], who ordered re-argument as a stalling tactic, to allow the Justice to gather a unanimous consensus around a liberal ''Brown'' opinion that would outlaw [[segregation]]. Associate Justice [[Vinson]] was one such stumbling block.

Warren convened a meeting of the associate justices, and presented to them the simple argument that the only reason to sustain segregation was an honest belief in the inferiority of [[African American]]s. Warren further submitted that the Court must overrule ''Plessy'' to maintain its legitimacy as an institution of liberty, and it must do so unanimously to avoid massive Southern resistance. He began to build a unanimous opinion.

Although many justices were convinced, Warren spent some time after this famous speech convincing two holdouts for segregation to sign onto the opinion. The first holdout, Justice Vinson, died during this initiative. The second finally decided to drop his dissent to what was by then a moderate opinion backed by the remaining six justices.

Liberals consider Warren's final opinion a political masterwork, not just for his political gamesmanship, but for his general writing, making use of dubious social science research to draw legal conclusions, and laying the groundwork for forced racial busing.

===The Warren Court, Continued===
Chief Justice Warren authored a number of other cases, such as the case defining American citizens' [[Miranda]] rights. He was a judicial supremacist, and succeeded in asserting court power beyond what had previously been accepted.

'''Earl Warren,''' (1891-1974) was an [[United States|American]] judge, best known for his role as Chief Justice of the [[Supreme Court]] from 1953 to 1969.

==Early Professional Life==
Prior to serving on the Court, Warren was a prosecutor and politician. As governor of [[California]], Warren had supervised the Japanese internments discussed in the famous ''Korematsu v. U.S.'' case, now reviled as an example of America at its worst. President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] appointed Warren to the [[Supreme Court]] as a political favor. Years later President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] stated that appointing Earl Warren was the biggest mistake he ever made.

===Brown v. Board of Education===

== Who? ==

Who is this person? Why is he important? Do we need articles for every mayor? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 16:54, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Do a bit of research in the area and you will see my point. Berks County/Reading is equal to a 3rd world country. The only media outlet in the area is just a propaganda machine for this guy. I believe this work in progress deserves the facts to be shown. [[User:Dirtybirdy78]]
