[The Magistrate]

60. The Point, Ma'am

Is that the people involved in these trumped up 'protests' are the sort of cretins who let Fox News shit in their skulls in lieu of using their brains, and whatever means of abuse seems handiest at the moment is appropriate to mock and insult and denigrate them. That anyone supporting the cheap thug in any way is a traitor to the United States I consider established fact. Manipulation of perception is an essential part of political campaigning in the present day, and what is not helpful is to try and hold only one side to the rules while the other violates them with impunity. The system is an adversarial one, and requires both sides to fight their corner with equivalent vigor --- in fact, it is the degree of vigor displayed, not the arguments presented, which has the most sway on 'undecided' voters. There is a reason why, after Mr. Burger has presented his case to the court, Perry Mason does not rise to muse 'Now, you know, the prosecuting attorney has made some excellent arguments for my client's guilt, and advanced some sound points in support of his position.'
