The state’s newest judge in the Northern District of Indiana will be formally sworn in Oct. 29 at the Robert A. Grant Federal Building and Courthouse in South Bend.
The investiture ceremony for U.S. District Judge Jon E. DeGuilio begins at 2 p.m., with a reception following from 4 to 6 p.m. at the South Bend Museum of Art, 120 S. St. Joseph St., South Bend.
Judge DeGuilio succeeded the late U.S. Judge Allen Sharp. President Barack Obama chose him for the bench in January and he was confirmed by the full Senate in May. Before becoming a judge, he was legal counsel for Peoples Bank in Munster and had served as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana from 1993 to 1999. Judge DeGuilio also previously worked as a prosecuting attorney and public defender in Lake County.
The ceremony is open to the public, but seating is limited. To attend, RSVP by calling (574) 246-8023 or e-mail reply@innd.uscourts.gov by Oct. 21.

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.
Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.
Wow, just wow.
Forcing a defendant to wear a stun belt, in court or otherwise, is a violation of american principles! It is also unconstitutional!
So, if I save $100.00 cash per week, from my $500.00 per week paycheck, for 50 years, at which time, I will have saved $260,000.00, the government can raid my home and take my money, just by saying it is drug money! Shouldn't the government, have some kind of evidence of drugs, rather, than just saying we are the government and we will take anything you own, anytime we choose? Tyranny is upon us! If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
