Team Players

April 13th, 2005 · 6 Comments

One of the things that bothers me the most these days about politics and the general mood sweeping our country is this: “”I don’t apologize for the investigation and the conduct,” [Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal said,] “The result speaks for itself.” — AP Story, “Agents use woman’s identity in strip-bar sting” (April 10, 2005) […]

Brain Fingerprinting: A New & Reliable Polygraph?

March 17th, 2005 · No Comments

Unfortunately, I blew most of my blogging energy and time on RHDefense today. So for those who are interested in something a little less emotional (and more informative) than my post of this morning — including but not limited to those who don’t care enough about what’s happening to America to get riled over minor […]

December 5th, 2004 · 5 Comments

You do not have to believe that voting machines were rigged, ballots were not counted, or minority voters were intimidated to understand that George W. Bush won the United States election by fraud.

Horrible Days

October 30th, 2004 · No Comments

I had a horrible Friday. Normally, I don’t write much about myself, what I think, what I feel. No doubt some of what I believe usually comes through in what I write. (Let me know when you stop laughing.) Yet as shocking as it may seem — though I’m not sure many other people realize […]

Constitutional Rights

October 28th, 2004 · No Comments

I’m working on an appeal — and, although I haven’t missed the appeal deadline, I’ve already missed my “draft deadline” — so my blogging time right now is extremely limited. It should be “nonexistent” until this appeal is finished. So forgive the brevity of this post. The friend who inspired my “Nothing to Hide” article […]

Marbury v. Madison: Part II

September 1st, 2004 · No Comments

This article — in a sense mis-named — is the second in a two-part series. The first article, which appeared on this blog August 29, 2004, provided a look at the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803). This is the case that many law school professors who […]

Marbury v. Madison: Part I

August 29th, 2004 · 2 Comments

President George Bush frequently complains about “activist judges,” most notably in calling for a constitutional Amendment to “protect” marriage. A future article — already partially written — will look more closely at the purpose of the Constitution and explain why such a constitutional Amendment is anathema to that purpose. This article will be the first […]

California Supreme Court Blooper

August 3rd, 2004 · No Comments

Lately, I’ve been deeply involved in writing motions, replies, etc., against governmental agencies that are treading on constitutional freedoms. The problem is that the government — tired of following the constitutional strictures that have required them to actually prove their cases for the last 200-plus years — is attempting to make an end-run around criminal […]

The Truth About Trial Lawyers

July 11th, 2004 · 4 Comments

Now that John Edwards has emerged as the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, the Republican attack machine, aided by a lap-dog mainstream media, is on the offensive. The myths and lies they spread do not need to be repeated here. Instead, I will examine some of the truths about trial lawyers, truths that most Republicans and […]
