Why am I concerned with the prospect of Hillary Rodham Clinton as President of the United States? Let me begin to count the reasons.<\/p>\n
For many years I have been a sworn police officer. Mrs. Clinton\u2019s dislike of police has long been a matter of record. From her contempt for the Arkansas troopers on her bodyguard detail when her husband was governor of that state, to the disdain with which she treated Secret Service when she was in the White House, to her campaign\u2019s recent announcement that it was not interested in an endorsement by the Fraternal Order of Police<\/a>, it is clear that Mrs. Clinton is no friend or supporter of law enforcement.<\/p>\n For many years I have been an expert witness in weapons and homicide cases, on both the criminal and civil justice sides of the house. Even-handed fairness is the very essence of justice. Go back to her earliest professional days, when her ethics were questioned during the Watergate matter<\/a>. Go back to the case where her ethics came into question in her defense of a child molester<\/a>. \u00a0As we look at the questionable contact more recently between her husband and the Attorney General immediately before the AG abjured from deciding on Mrs. Clinton\u2019s prosecution in the email matter, we wonder about even-handed fairness by a potential President whose appointments to the US Supreme Court will determine the tenor of that body for the next generation or two.<\/p>\n
