(12,723 posts)I was watching a very old (first season or so) episode of Perry mason and they talked about the code of ethics for a DA and emphasised that a DA's job is not to get convictions but to see that justice is done.
I am guessing this guy does not have those kind of ethics.

(40,416 posts)The political center of MI is Grand Rapids. Center to the Calvanists, the Dutch Reformist (so to speak). They even have a city entitled Holland, so the Dutch Reformed, Calvanist, predestinationalists can take comfort that everybody in the neighborhood believes like you. And don't get me started about every other building in Grand Rapids is named DeVos, not for a furniture manufacturer, but for AmWay.
BTW, the DeVoss family also gave the world, Blackwater, no furniture company there, nor a simple Calvinistic religious sect. Throw the furniture out the door, add some pyramid power, and a dollup of Jesus. You've got AmWay! And a lotta cheap soap sold for a lot of cold cash, apparently only purchased by the suckers.
But these guys own Grand Rapids, Michigan. And then there's Blackwater. It's all in the family.
What? Me worry?

We are neighbors and what is happening to my state is scary.
These religious nut jobs believe they have the Hand Of GOD guiding them

Green Bay Bishop issues letter in advance of election
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I would like to review some of the principles to keep in mind as you approach the voting booth to complete your ballot. The first is the set of non-negotiables. These are areas that are intrinsically evil and cannot be supported by anyone who is a believer in God or the common good or the dignity of the human person.
They are:
1. abortion
2. euthanasia
3. embryonic stem cell research
4. human cloning
5. homosexual marriage
These are intrinsically evil. A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program that contradicts fundamental contents of faith and morals. Intrinsically evil actions are those which have an evil object. In other words, an act is evil by its very nature and to choose an action of this type puts one in grave moral danger.
NOTE this swill was handed out in the Pews to hundreds of thousands of weak and superstitious minds.
As a Party Organizer it is difficult to fight this abominable ignorance and especially in light of the So called "Rock Star Pope" elevated to lead the Mob. This bunch also hands out lists of Candidates who they believe are willing to ignore the word of GOD delivered by the Bishop.

(145,176 posts)The federal judge rejected all of the bullshit evidence put on by this AG including some really bad expert witness testimony from religious right nut cases who were paid to come up with studies proving that same sex couples are bad parents http://www.scribd.com/doc/213770186/2-12-cv-10285-151-Michigan-Decision This idiot attorney general really screwed up by relying on religious nut cases as his expert witnesses

(4,407 posts)from issues he actually cares about. I bet most Repubs don't give a rodent's cornhole about gay marriage, except that they can keep the heat off the rich and the policies that benefit them by pretending to get angry about gay marriage. Same with abortion.
They're probably happy to have us argue about whether Snowden is a poopy-head rather than what he showed us about our government's spying on us.
Diversion. It's not just a good idea.
idendoit
(505 posts)And government spying is the distraction. The reality is that the NSA has been doing it for 60+ years and none of our branches of government say it's illegal, nor will they in the foreseeable future.The real illegal activity is how much of the kind of personal data the NSA can only dream of possessing, is in the hand of merchants. Just ask 110 million Target customers.
