I'll second and third that sentiment...I'll take convicts over thugs any day. And I'm not even talking politics:-)
Seriously, though, when you can be held in contempt bc the judge SUSPECTS you are lying, I have to ask: why bother with a trial at all? Every SUSPECT protests their innocence, and obviously they are ALL lying, right? So let's just hold them all in contempt. Think how much money the courts could save in a year, just in pitiful jury fees...
TL; DR: What happened to presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty...whine about the mess in DC, but fail to stand for American values. Sounds like y'all are definitely part of the problem.
