Of interest.

This looks interesting.

Amazing how some animals are more equal than others...

[LibFreeOrDie]

Be not surprised...

It’s Massachusetts.
It involves a famous journalist who’s gay who hates Sarah Palin.
His attorney is a relative of Bill Delahunt.

Friends of Obama will be protected.

Will The Atlantic Magazine and other outlets run a subheader below all of Sullivan’s article?

Ultimately, Collings acknowledged that he had no choice other than to allow the case to be dismissed, but "that the Court must so act does not require the Court to believe that the end result is a just one."

Wow. That's a good hard slap from the Judge, and on the public record.

All persons or all CITIZENS are to be treated the same under the law?

I don’t think we have to treat non-citizens the same under the law. We can treat them differently if we want ... harsher.

Deport him!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

All of which makes him a protected species.

Could the US Attorney be a Sullivan butt buddy?

[BallyBill]

Now I understand why nobody understands Sullivan’s many about-faces.

[pray4liberty]

Typical case of politics interfering with Justice. I’m glad the Judge didn’t just dismiss it without a parting shot.

[LRoggy]

Isn’t this the same reason that Paul McCartney and John Lennon couldn’t travel to the US for awhile? Didn’t they get busted for bringing pot into Japan, and we wouldn’t give them a visa because of the bust?

Could the US Attorney be a Sullivan butt buddy?

Possibly, but now that a precedent has been set, other people similarly charged -- and their lawyers -- will insist on not paying the fine or being prosecuted, and the U.S. Attorney's office is going to have a real problem on their hands. Plaintiffs will plea the "Andrew Sullivan defense."

The Judge knows what's coming. Just wait.

We all know it has nothing to do with “immigration status.” It has everything to do with his celebrated status as a protected minority.

[DPMD]

Friends who served decades as immigration officers saw a lot of this. US Attorneys, whose field is criminal law, usually were petrified of immigration laws, of which they knew nothing, including the criminal provisions. Rather than confront their own ignorance and learning the law - which is what lawyers do - they found it easier to capitulate to corrupt deals and get the cases off their docket. Other, equally lesser agencies were treated in similarly cavalier manner, such as Social Security IG’s office, Labor, Commerce, HHS, Education, all of which have criminal provisions falling within the jurisdiction of the US Attorney. But, the headlines are in the cases brought by FBI, DEA, ATF.
