how to say this????
the 3rd Court's ruling was a unanimous (3-0) decision -- something of an ass-kicking, iow....what the 3rd court basically said to the the lower court (and indirectly, the CPS) was "you guys are idiots. not only are you making a mockery of the legal system, but you're making a mockery of kangaroo courts too."
the State knows it has no case according to the law, so it's seeking to influence the courts by cranking up the heat from public opinion....
.....justice, schmustice.....it's all about the mob rule, baby, and the state is very adept at playing this game. |
Is the CPS acting like the Gestapo? Yep. But the fact that the CPS appealed the case shouldn't be a cause for FURTHER alarm. It should be expected, and routine, given that the CPS believes in the rightness of their position.
And the fact that the lower court was unanimous shouldn't alter the CPS pov, but instead it should make us aware that the CPS was essentially tilting at windmills in prolonging this quest to steal these kids. A stupid PR game of trying to tar-and-feather in the court of public opinion, but doomed to fail.
If these people flee? The CPS sees it as a major calamity. But to me, if they get away from the Gestapo, more power to them.
PS - SUPREME COURT ALREADY AFFIRMED THE LOWER COURT OPINION. SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT ON THE CPS, QUICKLY.
