    From KALB: Bill to remove non-violent, non-sex offenses from habitual offender law voted down.

    What does it take to get a bill into your legislature. Who sponsors a bill? How do committees work? How are they split between the parties?

    And here is talk radio host Mark Levin, who reaches 7M listeners describing the plaintiff incorrectly.

     

    From Vox.com:

    The ability to prosecute and jail people for lying to investigators is, obviously, an incredibly powerful tool of the FBI, US attorneys’ offices, and other aspects of federal law enforcement. it’s also prone to abuse in some fairly obvious ways — especially because it’s perfectly legal for the investigators to lie to you. That’s why standard legal advice is to simply refuse to talk to investigators under any circumstances. “People seem to think that: If I haven’t done anything wrong, then it’s okay for me to talk to the government,” writes defense lawyer David Benowitz, “and that’s just dead wrong.”

    Dissenting Against the Supreme Court’s Rightward Shift

    When Stephen Reinhardt, the famously liberal judge who died last month after 37 years on the federal appellate bench, visited Yale Law School a few years ago, a student asked him what the point was of issuing decision after decision that the Supreme Court would predictably overturn. The question was a challenge, but Judge Reinhardt took it with a smile. ‘They can’t catch ’em all,’ he said. I didn’t know then that this was Judge Reinhardt’s stock answer to a frequent question, and it startled me; the judge’s tone may have been mild, but his stance was one of open resistance, defiance even, toward a Supreme Court that was moving ever further to his right.

    From The Times-Picayune

    Louisiana efforts to free wrongfully convicted may lose money under House bill
    Louisiana public defenders said a bill moving through the state Legislature threatens to shut down efforts to exonerate people who were sent to prison for a wrongful conviction. It would also take money away from other efforts to appeal convictions of people who can’t afford their own attorneys and whose cases are too expensive for local public defenders to handle.

    • Q: Most of us have heard the terms insanity and incompetent, but I’m guessing that very few understand the difference. Can you explain the difference in simple terms?
    • A: Insanity is lack of criminal responsibility for an action and incompetence is the lack of ability to understand and participate in the court proceedings.
    • Q: Well, based on that answer, let’s focus first on competence and then we can discuss insanity.

      Jacob commented:

      I’ve been listening to you guys babble for three months now. Everybody knows that sex offender registration is punishment, yet you two seem to dance around the issue. Is this just some scam to see how much money you can collect while pretending to be concerned about our plight? If you were serious, you people would just try to end the federal registry rather than wasting so much time challenging state by state? I believe it’s all about the money.

      Just End The Federal Registry Already!

      Wouldn’t a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court be the way to go if you really want to end the registry?
      Why does it take so long to get a case to the Supreme Court? Why don’t you just file the damn thing there to start with?

      2018/03/31

      1) How is it that in some states the registry is considered “punishment” (Michigan?) and in other states it is simply a “public service”?  I’m thinking of the ex post facto registry requirements for SO’s who have completed their sentences.

      2)  The 80+ towns throughout Minnesota that have enacted their own extra-judicial city requirements, beyond that of the residency limitations in place already through the state.  Could you talk about that?

      Let’s talk about members of congress, both state and federal level

      There are many governorships up in 2018. Why does it even matter who gets elected to be Governor when it’s the legislative branch that makes the laws?

      How often is a member of the US house up for reelection? Senate?

      Is it fair to say that at least the house, they’re always preparing for fundraising and reelection?
      Do you think a candidate believes in the position of their constituents, or are they just there because of what the people believe?
      How do you find out what a candidate believes, or how they have voted: Candidates website, FB ?
      Is it hard to meet with  US Congress critter?
      Is it hard to meet with a state level member?
      How would you begin establishing a relationship with one?
      Can you expect to have lunch with them? Go golf with them? How close to this person can you realistically get?
      How do you learn about the committees that they are on?
      How do you know if a committee is responsible for a bill you’re interested in? You’ve mentioned about email campaigns where your senator wasn’t in the committee.
      In regards to being in a member of congress’ district. Do they care about you? More or less if you’re in their district?
      Are “change.org petitions” effective? Emails? Phone calls? Visits to the office?

      From The Intercept: Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Promised a Criminal Justice Revolution. He’s Exceeding Expectations.

      From time to time, transformation leaders take office. They show everyone else exactly what can be done and how to do it. That’s Larry Krasner right now – and he’s showing the nation how to dismantle mass incarceration from the inside out.

      From The West Virginia Record: Supreme Court says restricting internet access while on parole violates First Amendment

      Ross did 27 years in prison starting in 1987. Ross’s release on parole was subject to numerous conditions and, because he was registered as a sex offender, he was prohibited from possessing or having contact with any computer, electronic device, communication device or any device which is enabled with internet access. Bur Ross’ girlfriend has a computer, and a cell phone which both have the evil Internet. There’s no evidence he ever accessed, and they are reportedly password protected. There was no forensics done.
      My understanding is that the circuit court released him. Then the state appealed it. They lost the appeal at the WV Supreme Court.
      Had they left it alone, they could have continued their existing ways.

      From The Marshall Project: Let’s Put an End to Prosecutorial Immunity

      According to Taylor v. Kavanagh, based upon Supreme Court law, “The falsification of evidence and the coercion of witnesses…have been held to be prosecutorial activities for which absolute immunity applies. Similarly, because a prosecutor is acting as an advocate in a judicial proceeding, the solicitation and subornation of perjured testimony, the withholding of evidence, or the introduction of illegally-seized evidence at trial does not create liability in damages.”

      Describe how the travel ban went into effect, not by judges, but by someone filing some action to compel the judge to act

      Judges are like umpires in baseball or referees in football or basketball. Their role is to see that the rules of court procedures are followed by both sides. Like the ump, they call ’em as they see ’em, according to the facts and law—without regard to which side is popular (no home field advantage), without regard to who is “favored,” without regard for what the spectators want, and without regard to whether the judge agrees with the law.

      From The Washington Post: He was arrested for a sex act that’s no longer a crime. Years later, he remains convicted.

      Green was 20 when he was arrested after having oral sex with a 16-year-old male in a Georgia hotel room. He was convicted of a sex crime — Was it consensual? it was. Was it because the partner was under the age of consent? In GA it is 16. He was convicted because the incident happened in 1997, when oral and anal sex between consenting adults was prohibited under Georgia’s sodomy law. The conviction required him to register as a sex offender, a stigmatizing label that he carried for years.

It was the first time Heimlich had pitched in a game since last June, when he removed himself from Oregon State’s College World Series bound team to avoid becoming a “distraction.” “Everybody, most of the time, deserves a second chance. I get that,” an anonymous athletic director told CBS Sports Dennis Dodd. “[Heimlich] went through his counseling, but it was a 6-year-old child … You’ve got little girls coming to your games.

Shouldn’t we also fuss that judges hands are tied in handing out sentences?
