So, you left out the most important part of this story: the names of the dumbfucks on the House Judiciary Committee.
Government is Evil!!!! Government is Evil!!!
Is techdirt owned by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, FOX, or NBC? Because you've followed precisely in their footsteps of providing all the information except what matters: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. This can always be tied to name(s), but no one seems to give a shit about accountability in this country anymore.
. . . .but let jus a keep on a blamin' the guvment
This is actually common practice in American Justice: DO NOT SUBMIT MITIGATING OR EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE UNLESS THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SUPPRESSING IT.
It is the basis of the rights' market, I mean plea bargain system.
I ended up doing 19 months in Idaho because the prosecution failed to submit evidence (Franklin County, he's district judge now). They finally let me out scott-free after requiring an agreement to 'file no further' which I foolishly signed to regain my freedom.
This is prevalent enough behavior that it it not likely the exception, although I cannot confidently say that it is the norm either as much as my personal experiences would inlcine me to do so.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by Lincoln.
