For too long the officers of the court have held immunity from prosecution for crimes committed in the course of their work and immunity from civil recourse for violations of civil rights also committed in the course of their work. We have been hearing the statement, "No one is above the law," bantered about like a mantra in a transcendental meditation class these past few months. Yet over the course of the nation's history a select few, all of them working in some level of government, have gained immunity from the law. I can't see any difference between regal immunity, judicial immunity and qualified immunity. They all place the one enjoying that immunity above the law. Whenever a member of congress, who is immune from prosecution for crimes committed on the floor of the chamber and cannot be arrested while traveling to or from a session, uses the line, you know they're lying.Steven Michael Seyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809935502307219692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-7419795487999298742020-01-01T17:45:36.581-06:002020-01-01T17:45:36.581-06:00The entire TJJD issue seems to be on going but I w...The entire TJJD issue seems to be on going but I wonder, all the youth that "claim" to have been sexually abused..... where are the arrests and convictions????? In m,y almo0st 40 years working with youth of all kind including probation kids the one thing I have learned is they can make any "allegation" they want to, which counts as a statistic, even though it may be found as a untruth. Now, I never want to discourage the reporting of such incidents, but if the media wants to report the "allegations" then they also should report the results of any investigation regarding those claims. But, that may not be sensationalized enough. A;so, current articles seem to be reporting the same incidents over and over. Are these truly continuing to occur or is it just beating a dead horse?? The most disturbing part of this is it seems there is employment issues and if the legislature really wants to fix the system they need to up the wages to the line workers who put themselves o0n the line every minute they deal with the state's most difficult youth. Sen. Whitmire and Rep. Dutton.... put up or shut up.. <br />GHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
