My stepson was born in Thailand. When his mother and I enrolled him in school here in Ossining, the school official said that his vaccination was not acceptable. He was vaccinated at 10 moths and State Rules require vaccination at one year. Holy Cow. How could two months make such a difference. The boy had a blood test that showed enough antibodies for a small town. There are people who are very rule oriented.

Mr. Rosenberg invited you to go for the liberal/conservative angle, but you declined the invitation. There is something deeper going on. Modifying rules of evidence did terrible harm with respect to convictions based repressed memory (Father Shanley for example.) But the repressed memory evidence was clearly suggestion and nonsense. Why did judges ( The judge in the father Shanley Case was particularly awful.), prosecutors (Even Janet Reno.), and juries buy into the gibberish? It’s not a Democrat/Republican thing.
