I have never been charged with a federal offense. I have never owned a gun and am a gun control advocate. Despite this, I was imprisoned by USDOJ for 5 months without any criminal information being filed, and without an arraignment or bail hearing. I was told in court that I was not entitled to a lawyer. <br><br>This was all orchestrated by former judge Naughty Nottingham. The stated reason was to force me to withdraw filings I made in other courts, that Nottingham didn't want me to file. They haven't prosecuted Nottingham either or even acknowledged that they did wrong, except for Nottingham, who said "whoops". I am a U.S. Citizen with no criminal record at all.

We have tortured in the face of all the above.
We have failed in all the above.

“We are a nation of laws”, only when its convenient? Only when its not hard? When its politically OK?
“We are a nation of laws”, but only from now on? Does not every crime occur in the past and is then investigated and punished? Does the past of one National Administration put it beyond the pale of the succeeding Administration? Does the law “reset” with each new administration?
