If I were smarter and more articulate, I would have written this Sebastian Holsclaw post over at ObWi:
The latest compilation of research on the Maye case can be found at this post on TheAgitator. This case solidifies my dissatisfaction with the drug war and how it has peeled away our civil rights. A number of things really bug me about this case. I’m not going to discuss it purely as a matter of law, but rather as a matter of justice. I’m going to attempt to examine how it fits it to our understanding of the interaction between citizens and the US government.
The War on Terror still appears to be a piker when it comes to diminishing our rights when compared to the hideous and unwinnable War on Your Neighbor War on Drugs.
Also, check the Agitator for some news updates in the Cory Mayes case, in particular this post (but really, just go to the top of the page and start scrolling).
