Connecting the Polk-a-dots! (Hinson)

Story of hypocrisy coming soon! For now, a placeholder post to link from a sister blog.

The short version (unusual for me)without links is that Sheila Polk says, "We [prosecutors] swear, under God, to support and defend our Constitution and our laws against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We also swear to 'impartially discharge the duties of the office.'"

Hah! So why no prosecution of the dishonorable judge hinson?

"Our power, granted to us by the people, is not a personal tool to target political enemies or avenge perceived wrongs."

That would be malfeasance. But when a "wannabe judicial candidate" doesn't prosecute a former judge when there's probable cause, that is misfeasance and is just as bad.

"In maintaining public safety, each of us is tasked, by our oath, with protecting the rights and privileges of the least among us. Everyday, in every single thing we do to keep our communities safe, we must respect the rule of law and the protections set forth in our Constitution." So, like she's protected the rights of all the litigants the dishonorable judge hinson abused?

"Abdication of these responsibilities causes erosion of confidence in law enforcement... " Ya got that right. Reaping what you've sown.

"Law enforcement and prosecutors throughout the state have been my second family for the past 26 years and I am proud of our profession. We are a brotherhood (and sisterhood) and we must hold each other to the highest of standards." I'm trying, but judging by the political payback, you guys hate being held accountable.

"Our vocation is to seek justice. When one of us forsakes our role as protectors of the Constitution, it is up to the others to call him out."

Mrs./Miss Polk, what was it Jesus said about removing that HUGE log in your own eye before you try to help Mr. Thomas? Prosecute former judge hinson (and that other judge I told you about) and maybe we can talk.

As an aside, it sounds like Sheila Polk is reading from a letter I wrote to one of her Deputies, where I reminded them of their oath before God as I asked for Justice.

I'm still waiting.
