- As Vice Dragnet Recalls Bad Old Days, Chinese Cry Out
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  For people who saw the event on television earlier this month, the scene was like a chilling blast from a past that is 30 years distant: social outcasts and supposed criminals — in this case 100 or so prostitutes and a few pimps — paraded in front of a jeering crowd, their names revealed, and then driven away to jail without trial.

  The often fatal dangers of the sex trade packed papers on both sides of the Atlantic last week as court officials parsed potential jurors for the Robert Pickton trial in New Westminster and the strangled bodies of five prostitutes were discovered in an English suburb.

  A divided court, a divided nation, and no concensus as to why fewer cases get considered at the highest level.

- Gideon's silence
  Posted by Billbar from Slate
  The sad state of the public defender system in New Orleans in particular, but also nationwide is discussed. Suspects around the country routinely fill jails and wait weeks or months for a lawyer and a hearing. When they do finally get a lawyer, that person is typically so overworked that they have little time to talk to their client, investigate the case, research the law, or otherwise provide meaningful representation. And so people plead guilty, at a rate of 90 percent to 95 percent.

Cheney gets violent reception in Sydney

Obama’s comments on Australia’s prime minister were hilarious. I doubt Cheney will absorb much feedback. He’s not that kind of guy.
