We skip the political discussion this week, because so many politicians ended up in the criminal justice news! A Republican governor is indicted for invasion of privacy, a married Democratic mayor pays her police bodyguard overtime so they could have sex in a cemetery, a Republican senator extorted a page for sex, a Democratic Sheriff terrorizes minorities, and on and on it goes. Plus: a #Law140 on the free speech rights of school students!
