NEW YORK At a hearing Monday in Manhattan in which he ruled filmmaker Dinesh DSouza must continue community service for four more years, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman said he considers DSouzas violation of federal campaign-finance laws to be evidence of a psychological problem and ordered further counseling.
DSouzas defense counsel Benjamin Brafman provided evidence to the court that the psychiatrist DSouza was ordered to see found no indication of depression or reason for medication. In addition, the psychologist DSouza subsequently consulted provided a written statement concluding there was no need to continue the consultation, because DSouza was psychologically normal and well adjusted.
But Judge Berman, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, disagreed, effectively overruling the judgment of the two licensed psychological counselors the U.S. probation department had approved as part of DSouzas criminal sentence.
I only insisted on psychological counseling as part of Mr. DSouzas sentence because I wanted to be helpful, the judge explained. I am requiring Mr. DSouza to see a new psychological counselor and to continue the weekly psychological consultation not as part of his punishment or to be retributive...

The Judge is the one in need of psychiatric assistañce. Jmho
So, if you oppose the politicians who promote trillions of dollars of debt you are crazy. the Soviets did this too....
Judge Berman should have bill ayers tested before he blows up the judge.
Exactly right! Any opposition is suspected mental illness. You must not only abide by what the left says, you must believe it too.
So, New York has their own Lubianka prison?
Old Bolshevik punishment. The State is Perfect, so if you disagree with the State, you must be crazy.
Thus tens of thousands ended up in asylums across the Soviet Union.
Basically the “Judge” is saying that people with Conservative views are mental cases. And he’s putting teeth into that observation.
We know what comes next: anyone deemed on the wrong side of the regime is to be committed.
I am unaware of any case where a Democrat politician convicted of campaign finance violations was ever subjected to such a disgusting penalty.
It’s coming to that.
So Michael Savage coins the expression, "liberalism is a mental disorder."
It takes a Stalinist liberal to send political opponents to the asylum for reeducation. Savage beware.
We have two long hot summers to go before we are rid of the facist-in-chief. Hope this country makes it.
“Re-education” is the correct term.
The hope is that he’ll end up like David Brock.
Actually, the judge just needs his neck stretched a bit.
Then he’ll be OK.
"Got your mind right D'Souza?"
I've been saying for years that the ultimate inroad for absolute control over conservatives by the Fascist left will be by psychological diagnosis and involuntary commitment. They'll start with the "gun nuts," and move methodically through the churches and any other group resistant to the leftist cause.
No this judge wants to break him. He wants DSouza to put out no more films on the dangers of Obama and the NWO. He wants a scared rabbit who will never cause trouble again.
This judge is just taking a lesson from the old USSR. They arrested dissenters and put them in insane asylums. To break them.
This is unbelievable.
America is in deep trouble.
“DSouzas violation of federal campaign-finance laws to be evidence of a psychological problem...”
This same standard appears to apply to most if not all of our elected politicians....
It is such that will in time make rebellion a reality.
It sure is in very deep trouble.
