My apologies. I was not aware of the Judge's request. So ... perhaps the fix *is* in. Perhaps Carter just wants to be left in solitude so he dismiss the case quietly without considering the precedent he sets by denying citizens' right to redress against government. Shame. Thought he had a pair. Civil War lurks around the corner, I fear.

Pehaps the next Million and a Half man march will culminate in a Citizen’s Arrest.

I hear you on the issue of redress and I well understand the frustration, but I’m not so certain the judiciary is the branch for that. Are they not supposed to rule on the facts and the law, rather than on public opinion?

It's a basic rule of due process that the judge can only consider the evidence and arguments that were presented in court in the presence of both sides. If you were a defendant in a lawsuit, would you want people calling up the judge, when your lawyer wasn't there to respond, and telling the judge bad things about you?
