In restrospect, I'm surprised I made it through my teen years with all my fingers and both eyes intact... Maybe I'm a natural. Today, I'm not sure a lot of people would have been allowed into college because of things no one bothered too much about 20 years ago. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

You need thicker glasses. I never have nor would I ever refer to lawyers a shysters. I'm done here. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Detention Officers are hard enough to retain, that's why. The question I have is why does the system allow layers to screw up this country so much? I have the answer: 1. Rich/affluent people make the laws 2. The same are benefited by shyster lawyers 3. Conclusion is obvious Wrong answer. The question was not why it costs as much as it does but, thinking like a liberal for a second, why we spend what we do as opposed to spending it on preventative programs. The laws are made by a variety of people on two sides of the political spectrum. I doubt affirmative action and other social programs were designed to benefit the affluent or lawyers. What about Bush's tax proposal? Does that benefit lawyers. BTW you really need to read the forum rules about personal attacks. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Why do you think a system that was designed for many people to pay for the brief retirement of a single person at the same time can possibly support a system where people are retired for as long as they worked? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

Yes, the appellate courts have the right to decide that the law is so well settled that the decision of the lower court is affirmed per curiam. Making the decision that your appeal lacked any merit is not the same as refusing to consider it. The law is far from the way things ought to be especially to pro se Plaintiffs. No, they make their decision only based on the facts at hand. The purpose is because sweeping opinions make bad law. Even the narrowest decisions can be overread. Do you have a better system that our adversrial one? If you can't make an intelligent argument without resorting to name calling perhaps you should not post here. If you don't like the system, work to change it, stop whining and calling BOTH sides shysters. You understand that because you have not been trained in the law, you are limited in your opinions. Why do you think you have the training to represent yourself as well as a professional? I can fly a plane; I can change the oil in my car. Does that mean I should work on the engine of my own plane? BTW I don't do criminal law, though I worked for the prosecutor in law school -- putting people away in court. I met defense attorneys both private and public that were not very good. Having practiced for about seven years, I can tell you there are a lot of subpar lawyers making a lot of good money in spite of themselves and it is disturbing. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

You should also notify Walmart to stock up on pimping gear. Not sure what'd going to get pimped out but I'm sure something or someone will. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Again, you do not understand the system. It is up to the defense attorney to preserve an issue for appeal. Then, the defense attorney determines what issues may result in a reversal and files an appeal. Based upon the issues presented and arguments made, the court is asked to decide that issue. In Utopia, there would be no crime or an unlimited amount of time. A judge is not there to give legal advice, but to rule on the issues presented. I can hear you scream if in your case the judge said you know, I'd dismiss this claim if you did X. Would that be fair and impartial?? Your opinion has no basis. Any appeal filed is heard by the court. Apparently, you are confused about higher appellate courts like the US Supreme Court making a decision to review a particular case. To get to that point, it was heard by an appellate court. Actually, the court will decide the issues presented but not decide more than is necessary to render that opinion. Your conspiracy theory is bullshit as is your attacks on the judiciary of this country. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

Do you have any idea how competitive it is to be considered for a US Supreme Court law clerk? Do you think the justices are omnipotent? How else could they know everything about everything in the law. They don't just do criminal appeals. Also, it is the lawyers jobs to make the arguments, not the judge's to make them. WTF do you mean pitched and not heard. You mean that the court ruled based upon the papers submitted? They don't just get pitched. Please show me any basis for you assertion that appeals are not given careful consideration. QuoteI'd say 10-20% of attorneys help people and the rest fuck them. Right now I'm suing 3 attorneys, I real estate broker, and a couple other people for robbing house. The pigs were remotely involved and their own refused to take a police report, but I have a mountain of evidence. The lawyers are involved because they owned the LLC that bought the house, now they have amnesia so an ethics complaint is forthcoming, not to mention the fact that they are in court record for being sued as, "shysters."

They'll probably never relate to skydiving. My best friend say "dude, your nuts" with a laugh, because it's something he could never do. We used to surf years ago, but never thought there was anything offensive about surfing. Once they found out where I was going for the weekend, my office stopped asking questions. After a while, people realize that there is a reason you are wearing a parachute and since it seemed to work a few times, they don't think you have a death wish. At that point, they'll probably label you an adrenaline junkie. But remember, your true friends will be your friends. The rest are people that danced across your life when paths crossed. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

There was a girl out one day but it was too windy for Caleb to let them go up. I *think* Jerry was going to do the jump. Maybe, Smitty could swing it? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Not punishment? Then what is it? A fucking reward? A pat on the back? A "Cheers, ole chum?" Jeez, I had no idea that anyone could take the thought of killing someone so lightly. Killing a person as a sentence for a crime is not punishment? Are you outta your mind?? No, he just doesn't believe that people care if they die. At the same time, these same people are going to appeal to the Supreme Court. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

No, I question whether cases are more likely to be tried where the death penalty is not a deterrent to proceeding to trial. There seems to be no downside. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Uh, I don't understand your position here. Are you saying the cost of trials will deter potential criminals, or..... if they have crappy counsel they will not commit crime for fear of a slamdunk loss at trial, or ..... If you're going to go to prison for a very long time, why not roll the dice? By that I am comparing someone looking at life in prison in a state without the death penalty to a state with the death penalty. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

I asked the question in another post because I wonder if the death penalty deters criminals from trials they probably won't win.

I would've thought it would be higher, like the cost of the cell, but I guess they engineered the need for lots of guards out of the picture. Thanks -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
