    That's fair. I was probably too broad with my indictment, but there is no question that an unfortunate number of our friends on the left on this Board repeatedly complain about the political corruption of our judiciary.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            I'm primarily thinking about Supreme Court discussions, since we pretty rarely discuss decisions of lower courts.

            It's funny, I've had that quote in my signature for probably 10+ years now and I don't think anyone else has either recognized it, or perhaps Googled it, or cared for that matter.

            I've always thought it was a good quote for internet discussion forums.

              Ethically your attorney would take you aside and let you know he or she thinks you committed perjury and must do everything they can to convince you to go back and explain or correct your statement, such as ensuring the client knows what the penalty is for perjury, and suggesting that they may need to withdraw as your attorney. A defendant has a nearly unfettered constitutional right to speak on his own behalf in criminal cases though, so an attorney cannot necessarily stop you from lying. They cannot refer to or rely on testimony they know to be perjured.

                  I wouldn't say the RWNJ SCOTUS justices are corrupt. I'd say they are sincere but they have been placed there on the Court by the type of criminal who wants GOP policies to triumph. And that has happened because the GOP has systematically stolen elections.

                  But the judges themselves aren't corrupt. They're just crazy.

                    I don't think conflating the Supreme Court and today's "issue" tracks. When the Supreme's make a decision it's usually related to a contested part of legislation that needs to be interpreted and set. In all cases there is usually a dissent written. You may or may not come down on the dissent side based on your politics and the Court is pretty dang conservative right now and has been for a while. That's different than whether or no a Judge is going to issue a search warrant in this case.

                      It’s an act against America.

                      What could stop people from taking about the raid? Perhaps a bomb on Syria?

                              Oh, I believe in our justice system. That's why I'm not that enthused about an integral part of it being compromised.

                              If you report that the Feds got a warrant and seized all of Jared's files or Trumps files from Trump Tower, I wouldn't have said a peep. Great. The feds got a warrant and they seized some files. That's what they are supposed to do when criminal activity is afoot.

                              But I think that client communications with an attorney are sacrosanct and I'm not that excited to see that chipped away at.
                              What makes you conclude they obtained privileged information? Has someone been leaking what information was accessed?

                                If the lawyer is part of a criminal conspiracy he no longer is acting as attorney and is no longer afforded such privilege. If a judge signed off on the warrant they are looking for something specific and there is something that backs it up.

                                Normally I agree with you SJHovey but it only goes so far...plus burd makes a good point.
