Nothing could better illustrate the potential danger to all our constitutional liberties from this Hate Crime madness than this wretched Quigley affair.

Yes, madness is the word. Both the prosecutor and the ADL took action without even hearing the tapes first.

Both the prosecutor and the ADL took action without even hearing the tapes first


In the collapse of the system which administers justice in America, the clever have long ago caught on to the fact that the Constitution and STARE DECESIS count for nothing against public relations. If you can make your cause the flavor of the week (ie gay rights), you will prevail in the courts even against those who have the Constitution on their side. It appears that the ADL and the prosecutor just went a bridge too far.
