If, however they had been drinking and made some off-color remarks against Jews; then they would likely get the book thrown at them.

I have no pity for Mel what-so-ever. He was at 0.12; that's about a 4 beer buzz. Mel was not a raving drunk, he had a good buzz going and that's about it. He said what he said ... we do still have 1st Ammendment rights, right? I don't recall reading any conditions with regard to what I say (other than screaming 'Fire' in a crowded theater, or 'Bomb' in a Muslim pilgrimage).

No, my sarcasm is directed at the judge who thought 2 months was a fair sentence for a woman who was essentially kidnapped and forced into slavery for several years. I'd have simply assumed a sentence for an offense like this would be DECADES behind bars, not a couple months.

What's more; it's unclear whether this woman has an option of going to jail, or going back to Saudi (where real 'slavery' is not only accepted, but is encouraged). If I were King; the woman would get 20 years, then would be deported. But that's just the way I think.
