Corrections Sentencing - Arbitrary Justice
Mike has a great post up on Corrections Sentencing that points to the alarming lack of coverage that is available about prosecutors. Here's an excerpt....
I taught the basic American government freshman survey course for 17 years, did all the usual topics you find in the textbooks, espoused wisely on the intricacies that I could add from personal experience as a former budget analyst, practicing school board member, campaign consultant. Yes, indeed, everything a student could ever want in learning about their government.Corrections Sentencing
Never talked about prosecutors.
The most powerful people in our government, people who can threaten more President’s futures than anyone else on the planet, people who, if they target you, can do more harm to you and your family than any other government official, pound for pound. Never mentioned them. Which tells you basically everything you need to know about poli sci and US gov’t education in this country, but that’s a different topic for a different blog......
