The Brutalism of Ted Cruz - The New York Times

Ted Cruz is a selfish, manipulative, power hungry racist.

The Brutalism of Ted Cruz - The New York Times:

"In 1997, Michael Wayne Haley was arrested after stealing a calculator from

Walmart. This was a crime that merited a maximum two­ year prison term. But

prosecutors incorrectly applied a habitual offender law. Neither the judge nor

the defense lawyer caught the error and Haley was sentenced to 16 years.

Eventually, the mistake came to light and Haley tried to fix it. Ted Cruz

was solicitor general of Texas at the time. Instead of just letting Haley go for

time served, Cruz took the case to the Supreme Court to keep Haley in prison

for the full 16 years.

Some justices were skeptical. “Is there some rule that you can’t confess

error in your state?” Justice Anthony Kennedy asked. The court system did

finally let Haley out of prison, after six years."

"With inequality at its highest levels in nearly a century and public debate rising over whether the government should respond to it through higher taxes on the wealthy, the very richest Americans have financed a sophisticated and astonishingly effective apparatus for shielding their fortunes. Some call it the “income defense industry,” consisting of a high-priced phalanx of lawyers, estate planners, lobbyists and anti-tax activists who exploit and defend a dizzying array of tax maneuvers, virtually none of them available to taxpayers of more modest means."

In Arbitration, a ‘Privatization of the Justice System’ - The New York Times

If you get the feeling that there is less and less fairness in this country and that the deck is stacked against you, you're absolutely right!

In Arbitration, a ‘Privatization of the Justice System’ - The New York Times: "Presiding over the case was not a judge but a corporate lawyer, Vasilios J. Kalogredis, who also handled arbitrations. When Dr. Pierce showed up one day for a hearing, she said she noticed Mr. Kalogredis having a friendly coffee with the head of the medical group she was suing."
