Corrupt justice: what happens when judges' bias taints a case? | US news | The Guardian - 0 views

  •  
    The Justice System definitely has the potential to be corrupt, or at the very least, can be biased. What happens when the judge hearing a case has a personal bias against an important characteristic of the case?
  •  
    This article is eye opening, and really speaks to the power which corruption has, or possibly the corruption which power brings. This is just a small instance in cases where abuse of power and nepotism can really dismantle government. I fear our two party system absolutely fosters this type of behavior, and certainly not to make it political in any sense: it is frightening to understand the possibility. Great article.
  •  
    I definitely agree with this. There is absolutely corrupt justice. Money talks in this world and that is the sad thing.

The Fight Over Privacy and Secrecy in Government Investigations - 0 views

  •  
    The intertwined issues of privacy and secrecy will force Congress to finally deal with the world of digital information. Being such a big issues and how they are able to use such information against people in court, how was Hillary Clinton able to get off her FBI investigation? It doesn't make senseto me how they abuse this power to convict people in court, but yet our countries elite get off without so much as a fine.
  •  
    The FBI has exposed itself as a highly corrupted organization by allowing a politician to be above the law. The federal government ought to remove Comey from his position of power as he has said that Hillary should not be charged, although she committed a crime, and was exposed. In other words, he said she is above the law. Which no one person can be above the law in a republic, or a democracy, or any functioning country with laws.
  •  
    It is not okay for her to get off the hook for the investigation. If other people can't get away with crimes then why can she get away with it. Just like us she is a citizen of the united states so why is should she be treated any different?

  •  
    This is probably one of the most well known issues surrounding government corruption. Spying and stealing secret documents. Not to mention the attempt to pay off the thieves to keep everything quiet.

Twelve Reasons To Legalize Drugs - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about the reasons why drugs (of all kinds) should be legal. It talks about how legalizing drugs could potentially make streets safer and would aid in preventing prison overcrowding. It also brings up how legalizing drugs would free up police resources, unclog the court system, reduce official corruption and how it could cripple organized crime. It also talks about how legalizing drugs can prevent the contraction of AIDS and other diseases and prevent the erosion of personal liberties.
  •  
    I do believe marijuana should be legal due to so many people using the drug even though it is illegal. It definitely would prevent prison overcrowding and if alcohol is legal and kills people often, why can't marijuana be legal?

Child Prtotective Services stealing children without cause - 3 views

  •  
    This article is just appalling. I can not believe the horror stories that these parents have and are actually living. They have lost their kids to the system that was put in place to protect children not take them away from good parents. Seems the parents are guilty and can not even prove themselves innocent in CPS's eyes.
  •  
    I am speechless, I would never imagine there would be a corrupt system involving government kidnapping! This is unfair to good parents and it is just ridiculous some of these parents were denied the right to a fair trial to prove themselves innocent.
