  • It's not the judge's fault. If you want to place blame, here, put it on the lack of laws that would do something about this. The article says that after the incident the state legislature was prompted to look into this void but I'm not sure anything was actually done about it.

  • @Russ: have you recited the Pledge of Allegiance, lately? If so, have you noticed how it promises to work towards "one nation" "indivisible" "with liberty and justice FOR ALL"?
