Last weekend I posted about the Supreme Court of Washington’s rewriting of rules that attorneys in this state have to follow. Sadly, just as I wrote in the post, they legalized being an accomplice to perjury.
In the latter half of the post I wrote about what happened for me to loose all faith in the highest court in the state: their decision that beating someone to death isn’t murder so long as you say you didn’t actually mean to kill the person.
Lo and behold, someone else was as pissed as I was, but they didn’t blog it, the Seattle Times gave them one-day “Guest Spot”
Over the past few weeks, the public has read various opinions regarding our state Supreme Court. Clearly, some believe the court has demonstrated a lack of judicial restraint, while others maintain the court is a model of impartiality.
Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but there is no arguing with the facts — the Washington Supreme Court has recently issued decisions that have freed convicted murderers and allowed government to confiscate people’s property.
I know this is cliche, but do READ.THE.WHOLE.THING, especially the part about property seizure.
Also, if you want to lose even more faith in the legal profession, go read the comments on the original post to see what about the California BAR made RNS co-poster, Meester David, feel slimy.
