Bush is the most frightening event to occur in this nation that I have witnessed in my lifetime and I will soon be 61. I have a law degree and I practiced in Tennessee for 17 years until I was set up with a female by a former Mayor (for 46 years), turned drug pusher. I fought judicial corruption while I practiced law and I have been fighting it for the past 18 years. In 2005 I discovered that 5 of 6 judges in my county had been selecting Grand Juries illegally for over 10 years. Instead of selecting 12 as required by law, they selected from 16 to 40 and then let the Grand Jury forewoman actually select the Grand Jury. She is married to an attorney whose law firm has represented the county for over 40 years. She had the power to control the entire criminal process. I talked to the FBI and the agent seemed interested. The U.S. Attorney in Nashville told the FBI: "to leave it alone." I have written the DOJ for the past three years and I never got past the "Correspondence Section." The DOJ even returned the 70 - 80 pages of certified court records to me rather than have them "on record" in a flie for someone to see later. People, especially the news media, are not willing to tell the American citizaens that three people in Tennessee have absolute control over the FBI: The U.S. Attorney for the Middle, the Eastern and the Western District of Tennessee. The new U.S. Attorney is just as politically controlled as the old one. When citizens rights are violated they have no place to turn if the FBI and other DOJ agencies are controlled. What I found most amazing was the result of two letters that I mailed, via Certified Mail to Washington. One of those letters was addressed to the Office of Professional Responsibility, which oversees U.S. Attorneys. The other letter was addressed to the FBI. I received the Return Receipt Card from the Office of Professional Responsibility in a couple of weeks. After more than a month I received the Return Receipt Card for the letter that I sent to the FBI. I simply filed the green card and it was several months later that I looked closely at the initials on the Return Receipt Card. The initials were "OPR." The Office of Professional Responsibility of the DOJ even censors the mail sent to the FBI. As a result of this corruption of the DOJ, I am convinced that George W. , a man that I voted for twice, will go down as one of the worst Presidents in American history. What is more frightening is that attorneys are at the center of this corruption and they are simply pawns without any courage. John C. Kersey.

I was lucky enough to take in almost all of that trial and was not concious of it at the time even though I saw a fleeting glimpse of it early on. I was walking back to the courtroom during a break and saw a very slight elderly black lady, wearing her Sunday finest and shaking your hand. She had not been in the courtroom earlier and would not be there after the break. She had come just to shake your hand and lend support. The sight of this shamed me and when I reached you I also took shook your hand and wished you luck. It was a good five seconds before you were able to respond with "thank You". Walking away I thought- should I have done that- what if they saw. I had to extinguih those thoughts with a firm "Screw it.". Thus does fear play it's tune on all of us. I have been at trials that were packed from begining to end. This should have been one of them. On the few days it was packed ( opening , closing ) at breaktime all the lawyer conversations avoided the merits and were just cocktail party chit-chat. It was only afterward that I realized that it was fear. Congratulations and keep it up. P.S. your website design does not make it clear that people can comment. You might want to consider putting some sort of statement in your right hand margin. God , Are you right about fear !
