So…some dialog from the movie referenced in Q 4649, Law Abiding Citizen, that I found interdasting. This isn't the dialog Q pointed out of "It's going to be Bibilical" that is part of a dialog stream from the lead: "I'm gonna pull the whole thing down. I'm gonna bring the whole fuckin' diseased, corrupt temple down on your head. It's gonna be biblical." Which is what is being done.
This is from a different part of the movie and I can see this being a scenario that could have played out in relation to General Flynn and all 4 FISA applications and of course Manafort and the idiotic railroading of Roger Stone. Reality imitating life or vice-versa? I also believe this happens all too often in courts throughout the world, under on guise of acceptability/propriety or another.
This comes at just after the one hour mark…which is where I am going to return after posting to see what else may be in the next 50 minutes.
–Two prinicipal characters playing as fine upstanding members of the "intelligence/legal community" go to a judge to get that judge to issue an order on a jailed criminal:
Judge: "I can't supercede the penal code; you've already got him in solitary. A half-decent para-legal'll have him out of there by next week."
#1 "We just want to limit his options, give him less contact, less access, even if it's just rescinding his mandatory exercise period for a week."
Judge: "Under what cause?"
#2: "Whatever cause you want. Wrap it around whatever piece of legal doctrine that helps you rationalize it…your honor."
Judge: "So…let me get this straight. You want me to violate his God Given Civil Rights in the name of some murky 'sense of the greater good' is that the gist of it gentlemen?"
#1 and #2 look at each other nod, look at the judge and both nod.
Judge: "Ah-uh-ahem!" (pause) 'OK, I'm game, just don't plan on it sticking for long…all right?"
(Judge's phone rings and she reaches for it. -#2 chastizes her for doing what she had previously criticized him for, in court.)
Judge: "Well that's one of the benefits of being a judge Mr. Rice; I can pretty much do whatever I want."
And she raises the phone to her ear, answers it, and gets what she deserved…a bullet going from one ear to the other…sort of like the ethical oath she would have taken (if in real life) as she entered the legal progession and especially upon ascending to a position of judge, seemed (in this "fictional" tale) to have left her mind the instant she "took" her ethical oath.
