The Siegelman Case, Natural Law Violation, Chelsea


Picture: Guys looking goofy at the girls' regional basketball game a while back.

More about the Siegelman case from dday at Hullabaloo. Along with a recap of the stuff we learned on 60 Minutes Sunday night, this update:
UPDATE: Here's the state of justice in America.

It has been 20 months since Siegelman’s trial ended and no trial transcript has been produced by Fuller's court. This is in violation of the rules of criminal procedure which require a transcript within 30 days of sentencing. Siegelman can't appeal his conviction with out an official trial transcript.


The Attorney General, by the way, has said he would rather let the case go through the normal appeals process rather than open an investigation.

Kafka would be proud.

Holy Cow! Is this stuff really happening here in the US of A? I remember way back in 1988 or 1989 when I was taking classes at IU for a Masters, an assignment had us interview someone - I forget just why. The fellow student that I interviewed happened to be from Mexico. One of the remarkable things he found here in the United States was that things worked, meaning our systems, our telephones, our roads and traffic systems. For the most part they still do, much more than in some other countries. However, think we have something here in Alabama that isn't working the way it's supposed to. Or is it? (Works if you're a good old boy, I guess.)

Chelsea says Texas a must win for Hillary. I agree.

Time for a walk on the _______ side. (Suggestions on how I'm going to find St. Mary's Road here at the noon hour on a Tuesday?)
