To: Cincinatus' Wife

“’Fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements may be acceptable, albeit lamentable, in other aspects of life,’ but says that in a court of law, ‘when an attorney knows that both the Court and the other side are relying on complete frankness, such conduct is unacceptable.’”

This statement exemplifies how the courts can still serve justice.

I’m impressed at how Judge Hanen, in one fell swoop, manages to describe the entire progressive movement with the phrase “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements.” Clearly, the courts are the perfect antidote to the toxic deceptiveness of progressivism.

Except when liberal judges sit on the bench, and they currently outnumber our guys, courtesy of Bubba Clinton.

Bears repeating: "...Hanen cites the same provision of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct that I discussed in my March 17 article here — the provision that requires complete “Candor toward the Tribunal.” Hanen acknowledges that “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements may be acceptable, albeit lamentable, in other aspects of life,” but says that in a court of law, “when an attorney knows that both the Court and the other side are relying on complete frankness, such conduct is unacceptable.” This is one of the most damning criticisms I have ever read about the behavior of Justice Department lawyers. ..."

Judge Hanen could well be describing the Democrat party.

.....Judge Hanen, in one fell swoop, manages to describe the toxic deceptiveness of progressivism. ....and the entire progressive movement's “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements”.......
