He is a disgrace to the justice system and society. "Cash for kids' - I hope he gets what he deserves.

Saw the story on the Today Show and it was heartbreaking.

Is is so sad. That judge is the lowest demominator in our system today.

We're going to see a lot more of this, too, if the Right has their way and privatizes more and more of our prison system.

Oh yes, here we go! Blame it on the right.

Instead of on the individual. Where does indivudual accountability begin when you are a liberal?

Justice for sale. If you have money you get off. If you have money you can buy inmates for your privet prison. Out right buying of people is just around the corner. We had a war over this and it will be a sad day when it comes back.

This is what happens when business enterprise and government try a partnership. We get frankenstien government and welfare queen corporations. The core mission of one or both seem to get corrupted/ undermined. We need to cut the cord of lobbyist money across the board. Campaigns can be financed through general funds for debates/ print interviews, and petitioning the law can be done online with transparency. No paper (currency or letter campaigns) necessary.

Rule #1 of Litigation:

DON'T **** OFF THE JUDGE.

We get crap like this because of the "tough on crime" nonsense that was so pervasive a few election cycles ago and before. Folks might be ticked off about the judge in hindsight knowing that he took the bribes, but i can guarantee you that when he was handing out those ridiculous sentences, folks were cheering like they were at a football game.

For a little perspective, just remember judges start out as lawyers and we know what motivates them.
