It is equally true that religious sects ought not to interfere with the Government or with political parties. We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion suffer by all such interference." Subscribe Buttons                    | ||
I'm tempted to give Hillary
I'm tempted to give Hillary a pass on the rape case, if only because she was doing her job. It's fucked up, but whether you're a defense lawyer or a prosecutor, being a lawyer is nasty, nasty business. In Hillary's case, she was acting as a court appointed attorney, and being a public defender is a thankless but really important job.
I suppose though, that she just could have refused the case. She knew before she took it that doing so would mean she'd have to question the credibility of a 12-year old rape victim, so I guess in some sense she made the decision to insert herself into that nasty business.
