Law 'n order

Here's a mind-blowing case. A federal appeals court upheld a man's "three strikes" conviction of 26 years to life for the crime of... taking a driver's license exam for his cousin.

This chump had a juvenile burglary and an adult robbery conviction. So he gets caught taking a test for his cousin -- that's perjury. So long, sucker.

And that's from the famously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I wonder if the right wing critics who are trying to make an "out of control judiciary" an issue in the presidential race will cite this case.
