“With Liberty and Justice for Some . . . .” 0

Bryan Clark finds the recent Supreme Court ruling in Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez troubling. Here’s a bit of his article; the rest is at the link.

For the wrongfully convicted, it sets a precedent that shatters the hope that they can get new evidence of innocence examined by a federal court.

And not because the court has weighed the evidence for and against guilt and come to the conclusion that the man is guilty. (The latest court to review the evidence in the case concluded he probably couldn’t be found guilty of anything.)

The court is pushing to execute him because it says the evidence showing he is innocent should not be considered at all.

I have read banned books — along with books that were deemed age inappropriate — from elementary school on. It’s important for you to know — and the book censors to understand — that I read Huckleberry Finn, Brave New World, The Grapes of Wrath, The Catcher in the Rye, A Clockwork Orange, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lolita, The Bluest Eye not in spite of their controversial status, but because of it.

Methinks he is an optimist.

For every adventurous soul who would open a closed door, there are nine sheep who would knock once, then walk away, and twenty who are retweeting randos on Twitter and liking zombie bots on the Zuckerborg.
