----SpeakerFour ways to simplify the law
1. Judge the law mainly by its broad effect on society, not individual disputes.
2. Trust is an essential condition of freedom.
3. Law must set boundaries protecting an open field of freedom.
4. Two changes are essential to rebuild the boundaries of the law: simplify the law and restore authority to judges and officials to apply the law.

[Time 3] 1'15''

In a case of federal police corruption, where some policeofficers were acused of letting go of drug addicts, prostitutes, and stealing,and were supported by their peers, the judge was livid with the government forscrewing up the case and the defense counsel for trying to use their peremptorychallenges to eliminate minorities from the jury.

Answer by MM:
MM was wrongly convicted for murdering his wife. The first night in prison feels like punching into a face. I feel numb and stunned.
Earlier month in jail is about adaption. I need to obey rules in the new society.
More years, I look clam. But inside, I am filled with anger and bitterness.
After decades—acceptance and understanding of like. I appreciate pure things.
In the end, you see what the trial bring to us: it make me be who I am.

3/  how do judge feel when the know the trial is wrong.   3’47
From an anonymous:
The case about a police corruption trial. The prosecutor cannot compete with the support group of the defendant. But the judge can do nothing.
The defendants are police officers who take the victims’ things and the cop confess. But he became a scapegoat.
The defendants were acquitted even the judge think the evidence are obvious, but he could do nothing. And the judge was angry when he found the lawyer try to suppress the minority.

4/ 2’44
From an assistant counsel:
In extreme cases, the judge has the power to set aside the case.
If the judge follow the law while the jury follow the fact. The jury think it’s totally guilt. Then the judge can call a JAML.
Judge have this power in both civil and criminal case except for the acquittals.
Disclaim: I think my understanding is imperfect and need to be supplemented.

5/ What is behind the B’s lawsuit?
Why did B sue the case? Perhaps he think he could win.
B want to appease the tea party’s boss , so he sued the president.
EE(conservative) B’ lawsuit against Obama are political:  1) B oppose the right for person can sue company over discrimination in workplace. 2) B follow D to strengthen the executive authority and turn US into a torture while OBAMA make it more flexible on business by OBAMACARE and extending family leave to gay couples.

6/  3’38
B didn’t focus on any specific action of authority.—hypocrisy
B’s sue works because there’re countable R in the Supreme Court. So they claim corporations have the freedom of belief.
The author: maybe B have no strategy , he just try all things to make R win
The progressives assume: right wing of SC uses B to back R in the WH.
B’s strategy: ignore the loss and focus on SC, where five R’s vote can rival millions of American.

OBSTACLE.
When I say B’s cautions are is frivolous,  LT cautioned me.
T believe: WH as am institution cloud challenge the president decisions and must have a plausible basis. B’s action solified T’s view
If SC pass the sue, b will not win for 2 reasons: P didn’t hurt WH, and P didn’t abuse the power.

T’s views:
1.        ???
2.        B’s complain about Obama is at less merit. Although P delayed the ACA, but the delay is legitimate.
3.        Jurical branches have no role in this event.

T and I both think B’s lawsuit will lead to the impeachment. But B disagree with the impeachment, even though this is the last resource of them when they are kicked out.
Now Republicians will hold the WH.
