Judge has history of keeping important information from the public

"Critics accuse the Nezhats of performing a bizarre and dangerous medical experiment
on the rectums of vulnerable female patients
and of falsifying data reported in medical journal articles....

While the records remain sealed, medical experts hired by Mullen's legal team
to review the documents have written Judge Westmoreland expressing
their concern about what the records contain, and urging
that they be unsealed, in the public interest. .."

BUMP to your comment and BUMP to this thread.

I've been a poll manager here in South Carolina. We'll accept several kinds of ID, but most voters present their photo ID drivers license. And South Carolina offers non-drivers an ID with photo.

Damned judges legislating from the bench. Been going on waaay too long!
