Excellent point. I was thinking the same thing. I review thousands of court opinions for a living, and I was shocked at the unprecedented lack of deference that Walther showed to the Appellate Court opinion. When an appeals court rules, "Rome has spoken, the case is closed." Of course an even higher court can agree to review the case. But in the meantime, and in the vast majority of cases for all time, the lower court must show absolute obedience to the appellate court decision whether it likes it or not.
She most assuredly will not be remaining on this case.
Let's hope your prediction proves correct.
A lot of allegation, not much hard evidence. Until we see that, many FReepers are engaged in passing salacious gossip.
Exactly. Behavior that is shameful in anyone who dares to call himself or herself a Christian.
I find this to be akin to finding banned and members who have “opused” from FR to be the only believable ones, vice active members.
Perfect comparison. Any group would look like monsters if one took the word of expelled members as Gospel truth.
It is the sin of rash judgment to condemn one party without have listened to both sides. It doesn't matter that you might be proved right in the future. It's still rash judgment, and a very severe sin, and guessing right doesn't change that.
Hardly worthy of the premier site dedicated to a Free Republic.
After watching the coverage on television, I will be ashamed to call myself a conservative ever again. "Nancy Grace" on Fox News -- supposedly the conservative network -- represented the very worst of vicious rumor mongering. Unsubstantiated charges mixed with outright lies were tossed about willy-nilly. There was not even the least pretence of objectivety or even reason. It was sheer hysteria given some veneer of respectability by being on television. And a veneer of conservatism by being on Fox News.
Famous liberal Larry King, in contrast, on famously liberal CNN, was the soul of reason and objectivity. There was no shouting, there were no unsubtantiated allegations, there were no outrageous slanders. People spoke reasonably and everyone was allowed to state their side without being derided, cut off or shouted down.
I only get to watch television when I'm at a hotel like now, and I must say that everything the liberals say about Fox News is totally true. It's a disgrace to conservatives to be associated with such gutter journalism.

Can you expand on this for us, Max?
I think this is why Jews and Blacks aren't Republicans, and soon a lot of Mormons. There is no place for them in the Republican party.
The one good thing that I have seen come out of this is that it has exposed a relatively small number of posters who are anti constitution, and very vocal, apx 30. Compared to a much larger group who want to see the Law prevail, apx. 280 so far.
