American Justice
If Chelsea Clinton was caught in the same situation, can you imagine the screeching from the Reich-Wing and their mouthpiece, Faux Spews? But really, IOKIYAR.
She was sure that it was her legal right to be driving drunk with her kids in the car:
The daughter ofIt’s quite obvious to see the family values that Poppa Scalia instilled in his daughter; and of course she refused the sobriety test. And who in hell would drop these charges if this was just you or I getting popped driving drunk with our kids in the car?fascistU.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was sentenced to 18 months of court supervision after pleading guilty to drunken driving.
Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, of Wheaton, Illinois, on Wednesday accepted a plea agreement under which prosecutors dropped four other charges including endangering the life of a child and failure to secure a child younger than eight in a child-restraint system.
She was arrested February 12 while driving away from a fast-food restaurant in Wheaton, 20 miles west of Chicago. Three of her children were inside her 1996 Ford van when someone called police to report a suspected intoxicated driver, authorities have said.

It's all about money. Too bad Ms. Hilton didn't have the same lawyer.
Paula Poundstone's children were taken away from her due to the exact same circumstances.
Tangential point -- for all our complaints (justified as they are) about Cheney, W, Rice, Powell, Biden, and the other assorted assholes on the right, AT LEAST they are subject to election and the possibility (vague though it is, given the US sheeple) of losing their position come next election. Assholes like Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, etc are appointed / approved for the rest of their lives! They can so easily road-block any sensible, humanitarian legislation and there's little that can be done about it, other than a constitutional amendment which is really a lengthy, remote possibility. That's one of the subtle problems when this country elects a shithead like Reagan or W -- they may well end up nominating SC justices.
