					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...solely dogs, with the exception of miniature horses in certain cases&quot;

Good. As much as I disagree with Islam&#039;s aversion to dogs (and a few of its other tenets, especially the one regarding bacon), it&#039;s good that disabled persons who are observant Muslims will still be able to benefit from the ADA. It really does set the U.S. apart from many other advanced nations.

And it&#039;s also good the nutters with the snakes won&#039;t be able to continue abusing the ADA.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;For example, the court said, Lawson argued that a defense expert was a &#039;hired gun&#039; paid to make up a defense.

Lawson told the jury, &#039;This isn’t a man looking for the truth. ... This was a man looking for an excuse and he found one.&#039;&quot;

THAT is prosecutor misconduct?

Let me tell you something.  That&#039;s EXACTLY what experts are:  hired to spin it, not tell the truth.  Courts don&#039;t seem to understand that.  Their attitude is these are benevolent scholars gracing the legal system with their wisdom, and by God, we&#039;d better listen to what they say.

And while I&#039;m at it, judges, here&#039;s something else:

THE FACT THAT ONE SIDE HIRES A NUTBALL EXPERT TO SAY THE MOON IS MADE OF CHEESE DOES NOT MEAN THE OTHER SIDE HAS TO BRING ONE IN TO SAY OTHERWISE.  You are not &quot;constrained to find that the moon is made of cheese because litigant presented unrebutted testimony of an expert that the moon was made of cheese.&quot;

You can just reject the finding as incredible.

Rant over.]]></description>
