Butler can't keep pretending he is a conservative judge

Here is another story of Bulter BEING a liberal, as opposed to his ads where he does what all liberals do to get elected....try and trick people into thinking they are conservative.

Yeah, it's too bad the conservatives in the Republican-controlled legislature codified that into law in 2005 and even extended the requirement to some adult interrogations, too. How very liberal of Butler.

Jay, I think its fine for laws to be passed by our elected officials, but I am talking about the court trying to impose what they think should be done. Yes, they have done it before, but that doesn't mean I agree with it. That is what I am talking about. (and why so much are negative on my site than on yours)

about Jerrell CJ: You should really read the opinion. It's long and relatively intimidating, but it's enlightening. For example, the majority opinion--and a concurrence by the Chief Justice--lays out both the precedent and the constitutional basis for the court's decision to require recordings. The constitution does, in fact, give the Supreme Court authority over the lower courts and can tell them what evidence they cannot admit--including unrecorded juvenile confessions.

None of the three dissenters think that recording is a bad idea, either--they just think the court should have directed the legislature to do it (which, just months later, they did).

But that last part is my point Jay, the court shouldn't be telling police that they MUST do that...it crosses the line...when the leg makes it a law, then you have two of the three branches working together, and it is much more agreeable with me...
