An Innocent Man Kept In Solidary Confinement For 43 Years Finally Released By Judicial Ruling

The story of Albert Woodfox proves beyond all doubt that the American criminal justice system (sic) is totally devoid of all justice, all integrity, and all humanity.

The current frenzy over the vacancy on the Supreme Court in the wake of Scalia’s death should be enough to make it clear to even the most naïve observer that the Supreme Court is a partisan and political institution, and nothing like the group of disinterested non-political sages that we are supposed to believe the court to be. As I wrote in “The Mythology of the Supreme Court,” the idea of the court as a group of jurisprudential deep thinkers is a tale for little school children:

A former homicide commander from Washington, DC has said that something “fishy” is going on surrounding the death of US Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia.  Conspiracy theories about the murder of Scalia have gone viral after it emerged the judge had been found dead in his home with a pillow covering his face, with some claiming President Obama to be responsible for his death. William O. Richie, a former head of criminal investigations in the capital’s police department, has raised serious questions in the unusual way authorities handled the 79-year-old’s death over the weekend.
