Let me share a scenario. So - I'm in a

courtroom with a guy that has raped me. He is sitting just across from me. I have an attorney. He has an attorney. I have plead my case stating that this man I am pointing to viciously raped me. The man looked at the judge and said, I know it was an inappropriate act, I also know is was wrong. The judge looked at my rapist and said, yes it was inappropriate, and you have admitted it was wrong. After a pause of about 5 seconds, the judge looked at me and said, this man has just admitted that what he has done was wrong...therefore, understanding that he acted in the manner he did was because of his personal needs, I will rule in his favor. The end.

That ruling was made by one judge. Today there will be 53 judges ... we already know the ending.

in fact, it was "perfect."

this was more like that Mississippi town where my burglar was acquitted by a jury of his fiends and relatives.
