The State Declines to Rest
National Review ^ | July 16, 2013 | National Review

Posted on 07/16/2013 6:53:36 AM PDT by National Review

By Mark Steyn

America — or, at any rate, its politico-media establishment — is apparently at ease with the notion that a “not guilty” verdict is no longer the end of the matter but merely the end of Round One, with civil suits, federal suits, and a war-crimes trial at the Hague still to come.

The left had better be careful what they wish for because they will also succumb to the mob rule they are encouraging.

Sometimes people and bandwidth and computers and electricity need to be paid for somehow, yes.

It's the accent. Everyone sounds smarter with an English accent. For example Piers Morgan sounds like a semi-coherent idiot with one as opposed to a completely incoherent idiot.

I think it is much more than the accent

When I listen to Piers Morgan I feel stupider for the experience

I don’t think that Z will sue her for defamation but I do think and hope that there will be ethics complaints against her and she will be at least sanctioned for her behavior, before, during, and after the trial.

This is what comes of the attitude promulgated by the Dems at every election: whenever a public vote doesn’t go your way, take it to court; or in any legislative house when they’re in the minority: filibuster, delay, and generally stop up the works until they get their way. Now it’s not just votes, but any legally-binding outcome that doesn’t go the way they demand.

This is a bad trend.

Face it, our entirely COUNTRY is a bad trend. It’s just not America anymore. It’s a sorry shadow of what it once was. It used to be fun to live here. Now it’s just a headache.

The inmates have taken over.

It looks like you are just here to pimp, it reminds me of why I cancelled my longtime subscription to National Review back in 2008.

FYI: There is just NOT enough duct tape to help me deal with these morons.

Guess I’ll have to resort to overdosing on blueberries.

this is where tort reform must take hold.

not guilty means NO CIVIL SUITS, no federal second guessing.

Prosecution does not mean persecution.
