Here's some good ole family values from Rep. James Fagan of Massachusetts, a lawyer and elected representative--someone who should epitomize lawfulness and protection of innocent citizens.
From WorldNetDaily, Democrat Rep. Fagan (as he upholds the highest in family values) says no stoop is too low for him to get his child-molesting dirtbag client off the hook:
"I'm gonna rip them apart," Fagan said of child victims. "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they're 8 years old, they throw up; when they're 12 years old, they won't sleep; when they're 19 years old, they'll have nightmares and they'll never have a relationship with anybody."
As a defense attorney, Fagan said he would prevent accused child sex offenders from experiencing a "mandatory sentence of those draconian proportions."
So truth isn't important. The fact that his client may very well be guilty (and he may very well know it) doesn't matter. His obligation to his client overrides, truth, decency and morality. Get the dirtbag off, no matter if you have to terrorize an innocent child to do it.
I know not all lawyers are like this (I have some lawyer friends) but Fagan's kind is part of why lawyers have such a bad name.
How can someone with such a warped sense of right and wrong even sleep at night? It has to be a seared conscience.

Well, the US "justice" system is an adversary one. By design, it's not concerned with finding truth -- it's concerned with two adversaries convincing twelve lowest-common-denominator jury members of their right. James Fagan merely takes that concept to its logical outcome.
He does indeed take things to their logical conclusion, based on the modern definition of how the justice system is supposed to operate.
But is that modern definition the proper or right one?
