This judge is obviously a drug-addled pothead, 'cause only such types favor reform of federal drug laws...

[realpatriot71]

This judge is obviously a druggie . . .

The next day, the man's 11-year-old grandson brought him three marijuana cigarettes, Kane said.

Anybody have this kid's beeper number?

America's war on drugs is costly, ignorant and doesn't work, a federal judge said Tuesday.

Gee...what was your first clue Sherlock?

Of course the dirty little secret of this thread is that Judge Kane was appointed in 1977, that means appointed by Jimmy Carter.

Last I looked, booze and smokes are still legal - how much of a deterrent is that to keeping kids from doing them?

The thing I like best about your posts is that they reflect your wide variety of interests.

Interesting story!

If memory serves, Judge Kane was the same jurist who read the IRS the RIOT ACT after discovering the IRS had PLANTED an IRS agent on a jury in a tax case in his court. I seem to recall that he declared a mistrial in the case, subjecting himself to some serious IRS scrutiny of HIS taxes.

You DO know, don't you, that because judges are also tax filers, most of them do just about whatever the IRS and US Attorneys "suggest" in those cases? One or two who refused found themselves in prison.

Judge Kane got it EXACTLY RIGHT and I wish there were thousands more like him. That there are not does not bode well for the future of due process here.

LOL! Dirtboy. I was rereading the thread from the beginning and what do I see as the first keyword, BETTERSANETHANDANE.

LOL! You are that juvenile and petty. Oh well I if I am going to have petty and personal insults thrown at me that would warm Hillary and Daschle's heart, I guess I am getting to you all and I wear your "insult" as a badge of honor.

Among the 300+ posts, I read a handful of posts that contained shreds of rational thinking. The rest (the majority) however, are the same old tired arguments outlined here.

Amen!
