Callan Berry is the best! I miss him on Slog.

Yes, I miss Callan Berry as well!

I miss Callan Berry, too, but don't let that stop you
from checking out the animated police reports Nathalie links to:
they are pure gold.

Gosh, I wonder if I'll be invited to Tim's Trial.
I know -- I could be Jury.

We should probably vote now --
is hanging a chair thief too harsh a Penalty
(are Chairs less valuable than horses?)
or should we just deport him to Idaho?
where rolling office chair thievery IS a hangin' offense
I'm pretty sure.

Say -- why not have Callanberry go to the trial?!
A little Gonzo Journalism is just about what The good Doctor would have ordered.

We're gonna need a Big convertible.
Oh, and a satchel full of Medicines.

Good first step, Utah. But justice won't fully be served until all the convicted fornicators rotting away in Utah jails are pardoned and freed.

The next time a conservative jurist peddles the line that judges merely call "balls and strikes", point them to Judge Ellis. What a morally infected monomaniac.

Turns out I committed MANY crimes in Utah, then.

Correct. A "legal scholar" who feels that a baseball idiom is a proper analogy for human legal proceedings must have skipped every philosophy and ethics course ever offered him.

To all who think Manafort got off lightly. As judge Ellis said "spend a day in federal prison and then get back to me." Manafort was also ordered to repay $25 Million. Is this sentence enough to dissuade others from committing similar crimes? I don't know, but presumably that is the intent of punishment.

The far far FAR "right" wing has installed/stuffed down America throats hundreds of far far FAR "right" wing "judges" on our Nation's courts, thanks (almost) exclusively to McMitch KkKonnell -- you remember, they guy who stole President Obama's Supreme Court seat? That fucker?

Get ready for the fascistic results / Nightmares of KkKonnell's / the far far FAR "right's" courts-stacking.
A Republican Utopia,* why, it's just 'round the Corner!

*where Jesus's name is always invoked, yet, somehow, Never heard from.

I know some who have spent time in federal prison --- for protesting at Ft Benning Georgia. What they described was a cakewalk when compared to spending a day in an overcrowded county jail or state penitentiary. I just wonder how much time Judge Ellis spent in a federal prison. None.
