Comments on: On Sealed Documents … http://www.fitsnews.com/2008/03/01/on-sealed-documents/ Politics, Sports and Pop Culture Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:45:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Earl http://www.fitsnews.com/2008/03/01/on-sealed-documents/#comment-11452 Earl Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:26:16 +0000 http://www.fitsnews.com/2008/03/01/on-sealed-documents/#comment-11452 One reason might be that there are minor children and the adults in question are high-profile. This protects the children from coming to school one day to find out "your daddy is on drugs" or "your momma is a ho" after some reporter decided to make hay of someone's divorce files and half their school learned about it via the six o'clock news. That's a motive I understand, and would wholeheartedly sympathize with. Indeed, Rep. Scarborough does have minor children. Perhaps, if the files are sealed, this might be the reason. But my life's too busy these days to go snooping through divorce files. I've got a couple of divorces to my name and anyone's divorces just become a little more heartbreak and depression than I really want to deal with. However, in the grand scheme of things, what does a messy divorce really have to do with the bigger issues of this state? A lesson of the 1998 Clinton impeachment proceedings is that while some people think this stuff matters, there are a lot of people who don't. Majority wins ... and on this issue, I'm willing to bet that a majority just doesn't care, like it or not.

These documents have been public for some time. I even know a guy that has them, complete with photos of Ceips and Scarborough getting into their cars after a tryst. Any effort to seal them is way too late – that horse has left the barn. You’re nuts. These documents have been public for some time.

There are all kinds of legitmate reasons for sealing grand jury testimony. But a divorce decree? Not so much. There’s a big difference between grand jury testimony and a divorce decree.

BIN,

does journalistic proof require more than two witnesses? even in a criminal court, “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” could most certainly be satisfied by two witnesses or less…

While Bonds obviously had more homers, Scarborough had more scores and less strike outs. Scarborough could probably take a few lessons from Barry on improving his long game while Wallace could hold school on covering the field, playing on the road, and putting away the competition. Why the two of them remained unsigned is quite the mystery. I think if we go inside the numbers that Bonds and Scarborough match up pretty evenly.
