Janet,
You got me thinking when you suggested that democracy has an average life of about two or three centuries and maybe America as a 'free society' was not in the cards for much longer.
Of course, I rejected your statement - America will live forever as the land of hope, freedom and justice ======= maybe! Then I listened the Prime Minister of Israel and his moment of silence. Politics aside, the silence that accompanies injustice in today's world is so loud that it is deafening. Political correctness is apparently more important than political honesty, transparency, integrity, and justice in America. Racial discrimination by the "right people" is ignored and thus a Man who has a dark skin can lose his law license in Illinois for making the same claim that the prestigious Crain's Chicago business publishes. Or a gracious soft spoke icon of the Civil Rights movement (including the March on Selma) can be denied equal access to a public accommodation at a public office of the IARDC (Illinois Disciplinary Commission) open disciplinary hearing. Or calls for an HONEST investigation are characterized and public funds are used to assault the Civil and Human rights of the calling lawyers. Or elderly senior citizens are openly and notoriously elder cleansed. Or as has happened in California a politically clouted guardian is able to marshall the resources of the the State of California to give her access to estates of potential victims of fiduciary abuse for her own profit *****
The lack of outrage exhibited by the 2nd oldest profession in reference to the JoAnne Denison suspension and the article appearing in the American Bar Association journal blog is scary. Are Lawyers afraid to protest the violation of Civil Rights? Apparently so - it has been almost a week and no hue and cry has been heard! No one appeared at the office of Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary commission with a bucket of tar and a bag of feathers. Marshalls have no subpoenaed Jerome Larkin's financial records to ascertain his pecuniary relationship with the Sykes, Gore, Wyman, Tyler miscreants. Indeed, it is business as usual and the domestic terrorists who are threatening our liberty live another day.
Ms. Phelan - maybe I was too quick to reject your observation. Believe me I want you to be wrong, but it is also very clear that if lawyers are afraid to stand up be counted as being in favor of the Rule of Law, the Constitution, and preventing elder cleansing ****
It was pointed out to me by your e-mail that if our credo degenerates to that exhibited by the 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators of Jerome Larkin we can expect our lives to be quite different. Maybe the following article will represent something that happened in Chicago rather than India, to wit:

Mohammad Akhlaq was dragged from his house on the outskirts of the capital and attacked by around 100 people on Monday night, a police officer told AFP.
"When our team reached the spot a crowd was there outside his house. They (police) managed to rescue him and take him to the hospital, but his life could not be saved," said senior police superintendent Kiran S.
Indian police said on Wednesday they had arrested six people and "deployed additional personnel to contain any further repercussions".
Mr Akhlaq's 22-year-old son was also seriously injured in the attack and was in intensive care at a nearby hospital.
Killing cows is banned in many states of India, a majority-Hindu country that also has sizeable Muslim, Christian and Buddhist minorities.
In March, the state of Maharashtra toughened its ban to make even possessing beef illegal, a move seen by religious minorities as a sign of the growing power of hardline Hindus since nationalist prime minister Narendra Modi came to power.
The rumours that the family had eaten beef began when a calf was reported missing in Dadri village, 22 miles from New Delhi.
"An announcement about the family consuming beef was made at a temple, after which the mob descended on the man's house," said Kiran.
The Indian Express quoted Mr Akhlaq's daughter Sajida as saying the family had mutton in the fridge and not beef.
