(well, er, typeless.) FAST TRACK IS A GODDAMN FUCKING BAD IDEA! It was a bad idea when Clinton was president, it is a bad idea now, and it's going to haunt us forever now until the second American revolution. But I see it's only passed the House of Representatives, so far; hopefully the Senate will shoot it down.

And our confidence in our Justice System must be at an all-time High! when Our Selected Officials refer to.. OJ-ification. Flambuoyant [nasty] er Defense Attorneys! - those awful nemeses of LawnOrder, and of neatness. It seems that the Attorney General would like to CHANGE our messy Justice-delivery System next - if THAT is his capsule summary of its performance? Hmmm - nice sales-talk too, for the repressed-peepul of the World to hear what we Really Think. And so it goes. One step at a time --> (huddle for warmth in the flock)
