Hello Freedomphiles!  Want to hear about something that will make you want to shove your head through a plate glass window?  Of course you do - everyone does.  The Tennessee Senate is advancing a bill to prevent...well, to prevent justice.  The Tennessean reports:

Defense attorneys would be banned from advertising their expertise with drunken driving cases under a bill advancing in the Senate...

...Kurita says officials have a hard enough time convicting drunken drivers without lawyers advertising their expertise in the field and offering discounts to DUI defendants.

Sweet Jeebus, man.  I don't even know where to begin regarding what is wrong with this bill and that neo-fascist, Kurita.  One Democratic legislator gets us started:

Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle, a Memphis attorney, argued that Kurita's proposal would violate commercial free speech rights.

Certainly true, but the statement I find so disturbing is what Kurita said.  "We can't get a conviction, so we are going to try and keep you from getting a good lawyer."    What the fuck, man? 

Since when has it been kosher to limit the rights of attorneys and clients to secure more convictions, rather than just work harder to get evidence against them?  Oh yeah, October 26, 2001.
