Wish I was an ostrich.

I saw a bit of a show last night, about lawyer tactics surrounding the case of a woman killed at an amusement park. Not sure what show, and I only saw five minutes, and that was enough. Now we have this bill in the Senate (already passed the HR) against awarding of legal fees to winners of establishment clause court cases (i.e., cases related to violation of chuch-state separation).

I will now crawl back into my hole and pretend that I live in a world where governments make laws to protect the people rather than their wallet, people obey laws because it's the right thing to do instead of fear of punishment, and lawyers seek truth and justice rather than victory and power.

i believe it's the new show on Fox called "Justice." i saw the ads for it, but didn't watch it.

Thanks. I went to the show's web site and read the episode synopsis. Yep, that was the show. Evil, evil lawyer show. This is why I avoid most TV these days -- I don't want to come away from shows feeling angry and tense. I've got a job that adequately fills that need in my life.
