I also do not think the end justifies the means. Justice and vengeance are not the same thing. MSLawyer, of all people you should know that.

I trust Judge Biggers to serve the cause of justice. Those who thirst for vengeance will be disappointed as the administration of justice will leave you unsatiated.

Hail to MS Lawyer! The criminals themselves dishonored their family. By merely wanting them to pay for what they have done, we are not dishonoring their spouses/families. One has nothing to do with the other. Also, I find it interesting that Scruggs is still playing games (“too cute by half”) with documents and his deposition while at the same time wanting the judicial system he has also dishonored to go easy on him.

To all of you who seem to think the end justifies the means: try to imagine whether you’d feel the same way if Scruggs’s opposing counsel had done what Scruggs admittedly did. I think you’d be singing a different tune now.

And Ben Cole, I do feel great sympathy for Diane and Claire and Zach’s wife. I wish Dickie had thought more of them before he did what he did.

I want to thank NMC and the other reporters for the hours they spent poring through the letters. As a lawyer, I don’t take glee in another lawyer’s downfall. I do applaud, however, the fact that the crime of bribing a judge by an officer of the court is about to be punished. Bribing a judge is not a “mistake,” as one commentator wrote.

Shelby I thought we were in Iraq stopping a madman from possessing WMDs? Well strike that there were none.

Using “rule of law” and most anything the current administration has done in the same sentence is an awfully big stretch. Just ask Don Siegelman.

Count me in with Roger, Ben and company.

“And for some of us . . . it sickens us to see our administrators pander for money so badly in a public way . . . Moreover, Scruggs has shown no public remorse for his actions . . . ”

To – A Friend of the Law, thank you. You speak for me. And many others. And to the young men and women across the ocean in old Babylon serving us and sacrificing much to uphold the rule of law.
