Judge said du Pont heir 'will not fare well' in prison
The whole damn system is broken. Judges like this need to be dragged out in the public square and hung.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Government?
It's amazing that five single people can single handed do more harm to this country than all of Congress and Presidents combined. So much for checks and balances. Let's review the bullshit our SCOTUS has given us the past year.
1) Allowing "Christian" prayers before city council meetings. Ruled 5-4. High court ruling favors prayer at council meeting 2) Declaring that corporations were in fact citizens and money is speech. Ruled 5-4. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3) Struck down key parts of the Voting Rights Act. Ruled 5-4. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...-act.html?_r=0 How is it assholes are allowed to sit up in the SC for eternity doing insane damage to our country? Where are the checks and balances of getting these people out? Why is it the same 5 suspects generally ruling against the people. This isn't about law, this is about politics. What's the difference between what these bozos are doing and treason? I'll tell you. Nothing. How is this asshole Scalia allowed to still continue to rule on the Supreme Court? What the fuck?? Supreme Court Corrects Scalia’s ‘Cringeworthy’ Error in Pollution Case - Law Blog - WSJ Quote:
Also, look at this shit. Notice the conservative judges shit on most of the rulings involving "liberal" free speech, but not conservative free speech. The liberal judges are about equal in their rulings. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/06/us...gree-with.html Are there people I wish that drop dead? Most certainly and Scalia is at the tops of my list. Fuck this asshole and fuck this messed up system. It's sad that more damage has been done to this country by 5 judges than has been done by any terrorist. It's ok JR. I still got lots of love and respect for the work you do. There are still honest people with integrity in this world. Keep fighting that good fight.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Government?
Senator goes to wrong hearing, blames Moscow
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Dan Coats had a quick explanation for how he ended up speaking at the wrong hearing - the Russians made him do it. The Indiana Republican went to what he thought was an appropriations hearing on the defense budget on Wednesday and was posing an appropriate question on that subject when someone handed him a piece of paper. "I just got a note saying I'm at the wrong hearing," Coats said. He had thought he was at meeting of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Subcommittee but instead was at a gathering of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee This is pathetic

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Government?
Bundy Escapade
Claim number one: Senator Harry Reid's son, Rory Reid (try saying that name ten times as fast as you can), is the primary representative for ENN energy group, a Chinese energy company involved in a $5 billion solar project planned for Clark County Nevada, on the on land where the Bundy ranch is located. First source: Reuters: Aug 31, 2012. Well this is interesting. It turns out that the conflicts of interest in this project were well documented, but Harry pushed it through anyway. He pushed it through in spite of the controversy that was stirred up when the land was sold to ENN for $4.5 million dollars even though separate appraisals valued the land at between $29.6 million and $38.6 million. Claim number two: Reid put one of his former employees in charge of the Bureau of land management and thereby used his leverage in the agency to clear the Bundy's off the land. What do they claim as their source: CBS Las Vegas. Hmmm... That's interesting. Neil Kornze, the current BLM Chief is a former adviser for Harry Reid, and Harry Reid is the Senate Majority leader, and therefore was directly involved in his confirmation. That's another serious conflict of interest there considering that the BLM is claiming jurisdiction over the land where Rory Reid's company wants to build. But do we have any evidence that Reid actually exercised that influence in the agency to get what he wanted? Well that brings us to claim number three: Supposedly the BLM had posted on their website that they needed to get the Bundy family off of the land to make room for the energy project, but the BLM has since removed the page. The website that made this claim posted a screen shot split into two files and a link to a text version of the page that someone had copied. This is pretty weak. Though it does seem to match the overall narrative here, this would never be admissible in court. But let's dig a little deeper shall we. What if there is a version of the site cached somewhere on the web? If this turns out to be true, who will prosecute? A Benghazi-style cover-up is on its way. |

You know what's really sad? When even Glenn Beck realizes the government is right in this case....lol Why right wing nutjobs have rallied around a man who's mooching off the government/state of Nevada is mind boggling. These are the same people that point at the welfare people of this nation and blame them for our deficit.
