MARILYN PENN: THE AFTERMATH OF CASEY ANTHONY’S ACQUITTAL

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.9898/pub_detail.asp After watching one of the lawyers on Casey Anthony’s defense team jump up and down like a giddy schoolgirl, I realized how damaging an adversarial legal system can become when it sacrifices professional respect for justice to the baser glee of winning, a la Charlie Sheen. High profile criminal trials have assumed the same mantle as […]

DAVID SOLWAY: REMEMBERING PRE-OBAMA AMERICA

Remembering Pre-Obama America Posted By David Solway URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/07/remembering-pre-obama-america/ It is pretty much common knowledge by this time—except to his diehard supporters—that President Barack Obama is ill-equipped to occupy the highest office in the country.
