As I sit trapped with hotel cable for the night, CNN is interviewing a “criminal defense attorney” and a “civil rights attorney.” Who may each have knowledge of the relevant legal standards. But they aren’t talking about that, because who wants to listen to that boring shit?

Not a chance you're gonna trick me into looking into this Depp thing.
