Judge Nelson is a Federal District Court Judge. The matter was addressed to the Federal Court.

Fake judge, fake court.

She was merely be helpful in advising him to go to a real Federal District Court, presided over by a real federal judge.

I just wish she had named one for him.

The cheese done slipped off Jesse's cracker a long time ago. The judge should've saved us all a lot of time and just committed him.

Learn to keep your hands to yourself.

Oh, the questioning of motives for the government and corporations are a given.

For example, if you get a "too good to be true offer" from some credit card company then it's A GIVEN to question their motives because their purpose is to make money and you have to look for the gotcha.

If I see a bear in the woods, I don't question it's motivations. It's a bear, it does what bears do.

What you have to watch out for are the organizations that present themselves one way but are doing so for ulterior motives. Religion is probably the best example I can think of and I don't think I have to explain further?

So, you will have to excuse me when I show a little skepticism when it comes to a professional entertainer that makes his living pedaling conspiracy theories. Personally, I don't doubt Mr. Ventura's general interest in such things. However, he certainly isn't beyond a bit of showmanship at times either.

So tell me guys, there aren't ANY other suits like this against the TSA? If so, why are those not thrown out?

I do not believe the circumstances of his case qualify for appeal of the TSA order under the Contract Disputes Act, which if they did, would make the dismissal make sense as having to be adjudicated in either the Board of Contract Appeals, or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

In that case, Jesse would have to prove that he was under contract with TSA and suffered allocable damages.

he was reading the law, after all it looks like neither you nor the federal goverment can read the constitution and what it says about unreasonable searches.
