I have an article I am going to write that I have been mulling for a while, about how misguided the American legal system has gotten. Before I say a few of the things I want to say I need to do a little research. Specifically, I think that the reliance on precedent can lead to problems, especially now that lawyers have become activists. Lawyers "shop" for judges and jurors till they find someone sympathetic to their position. This results in competing rulings and differing positions in State and Federal law. Activism has no place in the courtroom. I also need to write a mission statement for PublicCopyright.org and file for non-profit status with the IRS. I also need to do research for work I plan to do with database programming. I also need to work as much as possible at the jobs I already have to maximize cash flow. I also need to sleep. You see my dillemma.
