Ever since Hillary Clinton's doublespeak debate event last week over NY Governor Eliot Spitzer's new "Driver's Licenses for Illegals" program, there has been much said about the complete lunacy behind such programs.  Why?  Well, thanks to the left's vaunted "Motor Voter" act in the 90's, states are now REQUIRED to provide voter applications to anyone granted a driver's license.

Smart people immediately realize the danger here:  if you give a driver's license to anyone who wants one, and you don't verify their legality, then you open the voter registration rolls to all sorts of corruption.

The Left in this country says "oh no you don't." Unfortunately, you do.  As we found out after 9/11...

Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Patrick Cavanaugh has shown that there are still judges "with a pair".  He has denied the defense motion to throw out the finger print evidence in the murder trial against Bryan Keith Rose for the brutal slaying of a Cingular store owner at Security Square Mall last year.

Cavanaugh's comment?  "In this case, a jury is going to be the trier of the facts."

Maybe he read my previous post on this matter.

There's a huge brouhaha growing (or brewing?) over the nomination of Judge Mukaskey to be the next Attorney General and the issue of waterboarding.

The problem:  it's all bullshit.

If this report by Craign Franklin in the Christian Science Monitor, it does not speak well for the "drive by media", who can hardly be relied up to do anything investigation-related.

Make sure you read the whole thing.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

In an update to my earlier post "Bad Judge Makes Bad Law" , word is out on the O'Malley Gazette that Baltimore County Circuit Court Administrative Judge John G. Turnbull II has granted a prosecution request to delay the start of the trial of Bryan Keith Rose as a result of Judge Souder's ridiculous ruling that fingerprint evidence cannot be used in the trial.

In the words of Prosecutor Jason League, "This ruling virtually overturns 100 years of jurisprudence with respect to the admissibility of latent fingerprint evidence."

Meanwhile, the family of Warren T. Fleming is denied the opportunity to see his alleged murderer brought to justice.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Thanks, Judge Souder.  I hope you are never the victim of a crime where the prosecution has to rely on fingerprint evidence.

The O'Malley Gazette is reporting this morning that Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Susan M. Souder has barred the use of partial prints in the murder trial of Bryan Keith Rose.  Rose is charged in the murder of Warren T. Fleming outside of Security Square Mall in January of 2006.

The order issued by High Priestess Souder is bad law and trumps our jury system.

Do we really need California?  The Associated Press reports that San Francisco is preparing to open the nation's first "safe injection" room.  Yup, that's right-- the San Francisco city government is opening a government funded, government run facility to help drug addicts and hopheads to "inject safely".  Guess what:  they are even going to provide nurses!

I want to tip my bourbon to Capt Marty Lurz and the Cockeysville Precinct of the Baltimore County Police.  After our little bout of Gunplay in the Gunpowder a couple of weeks ago, I had a chat with one of his regular patrol officers.

All I can say is that Capt Lurz took the traffic situation up here seriously in the last couple of weeks.  Enforcement is WAY up.  They even ran a sobriety checkpoint at the old Parkton Exxon the other night catching drunks coming out of the Parke Inn.  They've been running speed enforcement in Maryland Line, and the number of patrol vehicles on the road lately has been ASTONISHING.

I hope that Councilman T. Bryan McIntire and his colleagues on the County Council will find more money in the County Budget next year to keep up this level of enforcement.  While the North County has grown substantially in the last decade, the police presence hasn't.  Capt. Lurz needs more officers and equipment to cover an area that stretches from almost the Baltimore Beltway clear to the PA line.

Washington Whispers over at US News and World Report has a rumor that AG Alberto Gonzales -- the most incompetent Attorney General since Janet Reno -- might bail soon.  What's worse?  Michael Chertoff might be named the new AG.

He did such a great job NOT enforcing the law at Homeland Security, why not?  He's so concerned about the lettuce harvest, why not?  He did such a great job at controlling "Brownie" at FEMA, why not?

I have a better idea.  Mark Levin for Attorney General.

Imagine my surprise this last Thursday evening when all of sudden, my little old farm house up here on York Road was lit up like a carnival ride from the lights of the Baltimore County Police department.
