So when does illegal-GPS-bit Jim Bell get out of the pokey and a public apology from the DEA (who planted it), IRS (who asked for it), Treasury (who wanted to nail a tax-dissident) US Attorney (who wanted a law partnership), Judge Tanner (who is blind to justice), US News and World Report (who needed raw feed), Jessica Stern (who needed a crucifixion), and Justice Scalia (who needed a ride-bribe)? No doubt there will be a specious argument that Washington State courts don't trump federal, so it will take the ACLU another 100 years to come to Jim's defense -- he's so un-fund-raisable pre-911, so politically indigestible.
