The federal cops attaching the lawyer in the courtroom even when the judge told them to stop, they didn't. I thought cops were not above the law. This judge needs to be impeached for a number of reasons. The first one is not holding the federal cops in contempt and sending them to jail and demanding that they be charged for the attack on the lawyer in the courtroom that she was entrusted to see that justiced was blindly carried out. The other reasons is she never provided to the lawyer, the paperwork she needed to have, to hold his client. All he wanted to do was see it. She could have had someone go make a copy of it and give it to the lawyer. She refused to do any of that. The open courtroom is to be a show of justice to the public, the ending of the trial was anything but, in mocking everything about justice to be found in a federal courtroom. A very sad day in America.

"Decades ago, at the depth of Stalin-era tyranny, Soviet procurators were admonished to pursue a one hundred percent conviction rate. Despite the advantages attendant to a one-party state, that goal evaded those who operated the Soviet “justice” system. Given that roughly one in 212 defendants in federal trials wins acquittal, it’s clear that the contemporary US system has come much closer to achieving Stalin’s ambition that its Soviet antecedent ever did."

we must remember what we are told:

we live in freedom under a govt which consists of fair, caring individuals who only have our best interests at heart...which can only be uttered with tongue firmly placed in cheek at the hypocrisy evident.

the real enemy is among us. it is arrogant, condescending, murderous and, in the end, evil.

"The State's criminality is nothing new and nothing to be wondered at. It began when the first predatory group of men clustered together and formed the State, and it will continue as long as the State exists in the world, because the State is fundamentally an anti-social institution, fundamentally criminal. The idea that the State originated to serve any kind of social purpose is completely unhistorical. It originated in conquest and confiscation—that is to say, in crime. It originated for the purpose of maintaining the division of society into an owning-and-exploiting class and a propertyless dependent class — that is, for a criminal purpose.

No State known to history originated in any other manner, or for any other purpose. Like all predatory or parasitic institutions, its first instinct is that of self-preservation. All its enterprises are directed first towards preserving its own life, and, second, towards increasing its own power and enlarging the scope of its own activity. For the sake of this it will, and regularly does, commit any crime which circumstances make expedient."
