The wheels of just are turning in California...no "liberal court" is refusing to do it's part in the process, it just takes time to wend it's way through. The law in question in California has not has it's Constitutional test yet (it was a voter mandated law) and the entities are working...

>Ever hear of freedom of speach? And unless you are a complete moron you know that even the freedom of speach has real and legal limits. There are MANY things that I can tell you that aren't protected by that right. JB

Sulong: >In general, the Gov. is not interested in justice. >The Gov. is interested in a successful prosecution, >at any cost. Me: In general, the defendant is not interested in justice. The defendant is interested in a successful defense, at any cost. And that is why we have...

>I understand what the law is saying >but it makes little sense. I believe it makes perfect sense to expect the truth in an investigation and to back that expectation up with teeth. I'm a bit confused as to the logic behind those that feel differently. In the quest for justice, we have...

>Here is another good question. How can you have >obstruction of justice and conspirace when there >is no crime? That's easy, but is a matter of "justice" semantics. Legally "obstruction of justice" includes impeding an investigation. Most of us would agree that achieving justice would...

>Why are police permitted to shoot an unarmed >person for any reason? As a rule of law they aren't. This doesn't mean that mistake are not made. This doesn't mean that crimes are not committed by police. This doesn't mean that officers often get breaks that they shouldn't. JB

Not all of your points are flawed, but that first one sure is. In our intentionally adversarial legal system the attorneys on BOTH sides right or wrong are allowed to present hypothesis and then the jury is tasked with sorting fact from fiction. The feds didn't "lie to the courts" any more...

And I don't want to have to do "Consumer Reports" research on a building to take a leak. I don't want to have to stop at the door and look for the 'Building Inspectors of America"(a hypothetical reputable organization) seal of approval. I don't want to have to research the owner/building...

Rg, I lean on many issues toward the libertarian side, but there are also many areas that I prefer regulation... As Average Joe consumer I like being able to walk, with some modicum of confidence, into a public building without diligently researching who the architect, engineer and...
