So a week ago the SCOTUS excoriated the 9th Circuit for using similar groups of outside agitators to decide a case.
Since when does the self elected Gang of Tormentors get to insert themselves into a case?
Does the Defendant get a say? Or is he chopped liver?
I somewhat welcome this sort of action by the courts, because it shines a light on how rotten the judiciary is, as an institution.
Notice no judges are speaking out against this sort of crap.
The Sullivan view is, this case is decided. Outsiders always can make appearances at sentencing hearings.
