Let this be a lesson. When the Visa expires, that means EXPIRED!! I'm so sick and tired of the liberal media blaming everyone but the ones responsible. The dumb bi**h should have applied for an extension on her visa. I dont feel the least bit sad for her. The rules are the rules. SHE broke them and it caught up with her. TOUGH!
Some years ago, I wrote a dissenting opinion which argued that a prisoner who had been beaten but only received minor injuries could not, in this case, base a claim on the "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the 8th Amendment. Now, there are obviously different, legitimate points of view on this case. If not, I would not have been in dissent. But what is striking is that I was widely denounced for advocating the beating of prisoners, which is ridiculous. When a wrong is done, justice requires that it be weighed impartially. The critics weren't content to argue that I was analytically wrong --- that I had misinterpreted the law in making my decision --- rather, they sought my conformity, or, in the alternative, my silence.Even if one has a valid position, and is intellectually honest, he has to anticipate nasty responses aimed at the messenger rather than the argument. The objective is to limit the range of the debate, the number of messengers, and the size of the audience. The aim is to pressure dissenters to sanitize their message, so as to avoid being subjected to hurtful ad hominem criticism. Who wants to be calumniated? It's not worth the trouble.
