OF THE
TIMES
I'll tell you one federal Judge who's honest: the NYC lady who forced the prosecutors to say that they could not state that they would NOT execute, without a warrant, etc., ANY of the plaintiffs, including a few nuns, as I recall. She issued an injunction against the NDAA (ENDING her hopes for ANY advancement/promotions in the Judicial branch); but SHE had - and holds - something far more valuable, her integrity!Her injunction was quietly stayed and the appeal treated likewise.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

Remember all the folks getting released for drug crimes, murders, death row, because the prosecution had hidden the 'Brady Material'?
It damn sure makes MORE sense to resolve such issues now - not later. Justice delayed is justice denied.
This is the same type of BS that was used on the poor Kid Aaron Schwartz? for posting medical articles hidden behind a paywall online.
Meanwhile, folks who buy drugs from cops get minimum mandatory 5 years; and I've walked a guy who, when drunk, liked to insult girlfriends/wives (I rep'd him for the third arrest he'd done this - that was known about.) If he won the fight, fine. If he was losing, he would whip out a buck knife and stab the other guy. Third time (victim almost died, last rites, etc. But got blood survived just fine...then so for this prick's THIRD attempted murder, I got him 5 months, time served. But this was in 1988. Thus, I'd not be surprised at all if he's long since died from Hep. C.
There was no room in the prisons for THAT PRICK.
Meanwhile, same week, a 16 year old, charged as an adult facing - depending on how the cops and prosecutors approached it - 5 -15 years, no good time/gain time, if we took it to trial. (Courts have ruled it's OK to punish folks who take their cases to trial.) So, the BEST we could do was 18 months at Raiford/Starke . . . no violent history at all; only bought drugs from cops and sold them to informants.)
While they had ROOM for he of that victimless crime; there were NO Prison Rooms available the fight cheating backstabber walked with about five months. Those cases resolved within the same workweek. That was when I simply quit doing criminal law. (And it's WAY, WAY more broken now.) Ask any attorney what they think of the 'war on drugs' (sic) -really on Americans' freedoms.
