When I ...This article does not surprise me at all. When I moved to Kansas with my then husband back in 98, by 2000 I was headed to court for a divorce. Rebecca Pilshaw, during my ex husbands youth, was his guardian ad litum when he was being shuffled through the foster system. When we came to live here, she wrote his letter of recommendation to the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department. Later, during our divorce, she was supposed to be the judge to oversee our divorce. At that point in time, I told my ex husband, this is a major conflict of interest. I was not going to allow myself to to be put in front a of a "judge" who obviously was extremely biased. When I told the ex to be that I would be stating this in court, he went in and the case was pushed in front of another judge for another date. When I went to that hearing, I requested my maiden name back, I was told that since we had a child together, he would not permit that. I asked if that was the case, would he allow me to hyphen my name... so now, Im still stuck with the ex's name but my daddy's name prevails in front of it. My signature? ALWAYS with my maiden name and a hyphen, nothing follows that hyphen. The only time I use my ex's last name is when signing paperwork for our child. Yeah, this court system is shady as all get out. Glad to know that Pilshaw was tossed out on her ass!!

She wrote that even though AIDS can’t be transmitted by spitting, the deputies Gaines spit on had open sores and wounds and that his action was “somewhat akin to a robber holding an empty gun on a gas station cashier. The risk is minor but the victim’s fear is very real.” Someone posted that it was “…more akin to someone thinking a robber pointing his unveiled thumb and fore finger might result in a bullet in his head and you sentencing the man as though he were armed.” <br /><br />I don’t believe Mr. Gaines spit on anybody.<br /><br />I should have realized before looking it up that the fear of Shariah and foreign law is a problem only for the Blood Red States and the neocon conservative religious right jingoist fear-mongers who rule those states. A typical comment: “We have our own laws that we all live by, if people come here and don’t like our laws, Go back where you came from, your in America, Conform to our laws or leave! Not one islamic nation on earth would ever consider our law to be used in their nation, We wont stand for it here.”<br /><br />I was a neocon for most of my life and, before they kicked me out for spying, supported the religious right and joined them at the abortion clinics every weekend. But now I say there is no more anti-human, hateful people on the face of the earth than them.

Reading your comments tells me you are speaking from ignorance and simply regurgitating MSM talking points. Please do some research and you will see that a voluntary society is quite feasible."<br /><br />Bill I think it would be more accurate to say "could be like".<br />All forms of government (I include anarchy) are limited by the goodness and education of the people. For instance a so called democracy can not and will not work in Iraq or Afghanistan. The people there have no understanding of liberty. <br /><br />I also doubt if a Constitutional Republic would work in Canada or Europe. The people there just don't get freedom.<br /><br />For that matter a Constitutional Republic is not working in the United States precisely because Americans do not understand our system at all. It follows that a voluntary society would have a rough go of it, considering the uneducated state of the masses. Even so I think it has a better chance here than the Republic that we have lost.InalienableWrightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108700971976990644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-31190256523589465232012-06-07T12:00:13.256-06:002012-06-07T12:00:13.256-06:00Oh, and BTW (last post, promise,)

The best solution is to find the best<br />way to appoint competent judges.<br /><br />The debate is ongoing: appoint them? elect them? combination?<br /><br />The court system is constantly debating this issue and<br />watching the several states diverse approaches, but <br />perhaps the best approach is to just keep trying?<br /><br />Vigilance is the price of liberty.<br /><br />Thanks again, Mr. Grigg.willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-13344181147964937372012-06-07T11:54:25.765-06:002012-06-07T11:54:25.765-06:00Bill,

We all have to agree, like minded, on what constitutes the<br />law and jurisprudence we are going to hold each other accountable to, especially<br />if the penalty is the price of life, liberty or property.<br /><br />You can't have a society, any society, where we all live subjectively and <br />according to our own set of rules. OK, let's just rely on each other to have<br />good will but that is a utopia we <i>know</i> cannot exist in this world.<br /><br />So, this "objective" requirement obviously exists in our courts today as of<br />necessity as the base line of expectations we impose on each other. To show<br />contempt for that base line is to show contempt not just for the court but for<br />the entirety of our society and the goodwill we expect from each other.<br /><br />Of course there is decay and abuse, but vigilance is the price of our privilege<br />to have such a system and once again thank Mr. Grigg for his service in such regard.<br /><br />That is all there is to it. People can go off on tangential arguments and <br />speak of altruistic theory, but the fact is that we have to live together and<br />someone, somewhere, is gonna steal a chicken from his neighbor either by accident<br />or on purpose. As for me, I will hold my neighbor accountable in a court of law<br />rather than just shoot him because I could be wrong about his motives or <br />circumstance, and if I have a neighbor who shoots first and asks questions later<br />I will likewise hold him accountable in a court of law.<br /><br />Upon appearing, if that neighbor shows nothing but contempt for that court rather<br />than disgorge the facts and circumstances then I am all to happy to put his<br />ass in jail.<br /><br />Thanks for the debate.<br />That is all.willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-1215709804529192442012-06-07T11:26:13.196-06:002012-06-07T11:26:13.196-06:00The charge and sentence was for assault, not conte...The charge and sentence was for assault, not contempt.<br /><br />Though the judge characterized the assault as "disrespect," she was referring<br />to the guards, not herself. Gaines' behavior in the courtroom only went to<br />substantiate the original assault charge providing grist to the prosecution.<br /><br />If you are charged with attempted murder, appear in court, assert your<br />innocence but then proceed to attempt to murder the judge, do you think the<br />court will take that into consideration as regarding the original charge?<br /><br />Yup. You bet, Bubba.<br /><br />As posted above, Gaines' attorney should have (and probably did) advise him to STFU. <br /><br />Whether or not the 18yr sentence is just will no doubt be reviewed by<br />an appellate court. If Gaines gets a new trial do you think he'll keep<br />his mouth shut or tell his jury that they are all a bunch of "maggot motherfuckers?"<br /><br />Just curious.willbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-10519975400880926142012-06-07T11:15:01.157-06:002012-06-07T11:15:01.157-06:00Willb, you clearly have NOT done any research into...Willb, you clearly have NOT done any research into anarchy or what a voluntary society would be like.

If, as I've heard so many times from fellow Libertarians, the Founders had said "This is generational. And we need to educate people" Well, it would never have happened. Because life simply gets in the way. Action, even violent action, is what occurred to bring about change. Now I don't advocate it but I see it as being inevitable in the future. The powers that be will not willingly change unless physically threatened. That's the nature of these vermin: never apologize, never pay restitution out of their own purse, never turn a cheek.
