"Unreal Dream" is broadcasting SUNDAY!

The "texting judge," Elizabeth Coker, is running for Polk County District Attorney just six weeks after signing a resignation agreement with the Judicial Conduct Commission.

The Innocence Project fonder, Barry Scheck, the original NY City hug-a-thug liberal.
"To Scheck" entered the legal vocabulary and came to mean to bully a witness, or to act self-righteous or melodramatic.
By comparison Al Sharption looks dignified.
