The militia are all for the law of the land until they get called out for breaking the law. That turns them into crazy protesters with a phony cause.

A panel of judges decided the Hammonds hadn't served long enough per the law, rather than the single judge handing down the revised sentence. Same difference. I think you're capturing the evasive obfuscation of the federal bureacracy, but that hardly excuses excessive sentencing. <br /><br />It's too bad we're not using the Hammond case to light a backfire against mandatory minimums, and linking their case to the ridiculous sentences handed out to urban crack users, for example. The Hammonds should have served six months, plus five years probation/monitoring, and hundreds of restitution hours in restoration projects for cattle and fire damage to public lands.<br /><br />Instead we got a wackadoo takeover by wannabe Cabela's catalog models, while city twits, who probably can't tell sage brush from alfalfa, mock rural people as idiots generally while complaining about the price of steak.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bad Medicinenoreply@blogger.com
