This is what we've all along from the Whyte court.  There are a couple
of DoJ oversight groups that deal with this kind of stuff; the Office
of Professional Responsibility, with investigative powers inside the
DOJ; the Public Integrity Section, with investigative powers outside
the DOJ.  Both are chartered (Within their own scopes) to investigate
cases of official corruption, including favoritism to one's friends or
supreme ruler, bribery, malfeasance, and misfeasance.   Unfortunately,
from what I've read, they consider themselves as much above the law as
the DoJ, and in the past have acted to enforce or cover-up the poor
judgement and corruption in the DoJ.  (According to an investigation
by the GAO; "Above the Law", @1996, David Burnham, pages 324-345.
Curruption in general, see all chapter 10, starting page 315.  Call me
inflamable, but the whole book makes my blood boil.
Just in case my words were mistaken: it's a good well written book;
and in aggregate, our civil servants in the DOJ  aren't worth shit.
According to Burnham, in reality the OPR seems intent on protecting
the Attorney General for mud-slinging and investations.)

"Public Integrity Section?"   Smells very clammy, but so does OPR;
they've just got the Hubbard stink and feel.  OTOH, maybe Elron  stole
his acronymic officialese from existing official source.  Been so
long, it's hard to recall.

Wonder what's more expensive?   A mistress, or a judge?  'Course I've
been hearing that, "justice is a harsh mistress", for years.   But, I
thought the phrase reffered to the love and esteem in which some
poeple hold the practice of law; I didn't expect to hear about such
blatant acts of whoredom in a courtroom, by a judge.  How can the
judge look anyone in the eye when he goes to the Country Club for his
Martinis!?  (Does anyone know the judge's preferred trank?  Maybe he's
a "Sex On the Beach" kinda guy; or maybe he's a guy that favors
Galliano bottles, for his own devious reasons.) 

Does Whyte sit with his back to the court, looking sorta hunch-backed?

Whatever.  It's all very depressing.  At least there's appeals court
and perhaps even the Supreme Court.   One way or another, there'll
either be cause for celebration or a warning that's it's time to buy
tickets for that extended European Vacation.
