The Eight Ammendment

Disturbing the Universe

Disturbing the Universe is a really good documentary about attorney William Kunstler.

Income Inequality

The Military Industrial Complex

B is for Boycott

It really seems like Hollywood has run out of ideas.  Some of the worst movies I have ever seen have come out since 2014.  A clear sign of filmmaker desperation is repeated sequels or some of these stupid super hero movies.  I am currently 36 years old.  When I was growing up in the 90's there were a lot of good movies and music.  I don't know what happened.  Perhaps boycotting the lousy movies that are out right now will encourage filmmakers to do a better job.  I've seen better film on teeth!

Word of the Day

Illegally obtained evidence is evidence acquired by violating a person's constitutional protection against illegal searches and seizures. In the United States, the exclusionary rule is a legal rule, based on constitutional law, saying that evidence collected or analyzed in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights is inadmissible for a criminal prosecution in a court of law.

The exclusionary rule is grounded in the Fourth Amendment and it is intended to protect citizens from illegal searches and seizures.  The exclusionary rule is also designed to provide a remedy and disincentive, which is short of criminal prosecution in response to prosecutors and police who illegally gather evidence in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
