I am actually looking forward to seeing this eventually. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I think this is the one time where the successive movies are better than the priors.

The ruling issued Wednesday is the latest development in a battle between the Los Angeles County district attorney, who subpoenaed the private files three years ago, and the archdiocese. Archbishop Roger Mahony has argued that opening the files would violate the church's constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Donald Steier, an attorney for the former priests, said he was considering an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling means prosecutors could scour personnel files for evidence that could result in criminal charges against additional clergy and possibly even Mahony himself. One former priest, Michael Wempe, is expected to go on trial within weeks on charges of committing a lewd act on a child and oral copulation of a person under 16. The district attorney's office has said it is also investigating several other cases that could fall within the statute of limitations for prosecution of sex abuse. "This is an important milestone in addressing the issue of clerical sexual abuse," District Attorney Steve Cooley said. "I look forward to immediate access to files we subpoenaed from the Los Angeles Archdiocese." In a separate civil case, a judge ruled Wednesday that a monsignor must answer questions in a deposition and cannot assert "clergy privilege" to avoid revealing whether he heard confessions of a deacon accused of sexual abuse. "The penitential privilege protects 'a communication made in confidence,"' wrote Judge Haley Fromholz, who has been supervising a global settlement of more than 550 civil lawsuits against the archdiocese. "It does not prohibit the disclosure of the fact that the communication occurred." The church argued that all communications between a priest and a bishop are privileged. Some priests might continue to refuse to answer questions despite the ruling, said Donald Woods, an archdiocese attorney. Monsignor Michael Lenihan was deposed last summer in cases involving three priests, including Michael Baker, a deacon he supervised who later admitted abusing two brothers and has been accused in other cases. I just don't understand it. Why, why, why... would the church NOT want to have these sicko's prosecuted and put away. :banghead One word Bankruptcy.

The only thing I am shocked about is that he admitted it. I have been talking about this for years now, and only the secondary media seems to care about the stories. Everyone is interested in all things Bush leading up to the war, but no one seems to care what anyone else's motivations and actions were, no matter how criminal they were. This scandal extended into the German, Russian, and Chinese governments too, not to mention the upper echelon of the UN, but no one talks about any of that.

LMAO, (website under construction) what a pisspoor webmaster Anyways, I was really impressed with how many charitable things Darcy had written into his contract when was with the Panthers. Plus he tells one great hockey fight story over a few beers

PA often asks people to look at his nano... That is the real reason he is being asked to testify at a trial...

Im taking half of next month off for Christmas and we really haven't done a whole lot this month either. Of course that'll all change next year cause Im being transferred in February but Im going to enjoy the chill time till then. Where are my tax dollars sending you next Nuke?

LMAO. So all of the government officials can scream their heads off about the energy companies record profits, but they aren't saying a damned thing about the record fuel tax and sales tax receipts from energy are they? Can we supena them to testify under oath about why they aren't sharing this money with people who need help paying their heat/electric bills instead of pandering to more popular things like property tax relief? Hypocrates.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) My point was that anybody can take a shot at Bush, and it's all cool. He fights back and he "smear people". ^ Good point.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) I don't care how "on edge" he is.. Talking s*** about Congressman Murtha is pretty effing stupid, and will cost him at the end of the day. The sad thing is it won't. Negative politics is all a part of the game now a days. Ask John McCain how much Bush paid for his negative portrayals of him.

Going to Mike's Chicken for lunch today... that's about it.

Just think if we would have taken all of the quarters we dumped into that thing and bought MSFT when Day was telling us to do so, yikes. Hell what are we like 5 or 6 splits later now? s*** now I am depressed.

Hey Jas, was that the experience at GT? It is probably a good thing that you didn't take them up on their offer because they are neck deep in all of the Refco stuff from what I am reading. I don't think they will send them the way of Andersen, but they are going to be in a for a big shake up if things continue down these tracks. Consider yourself lucky.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) This is one of the reasons I became a Democrat first...but trouble is...both parties have plenty of IOU's coming from campaign contributors. Tons of them. Stacks miles high. Hell, one Republican congressman from California has snuck a provision into the Budget bill which would allow the government to sell off about 5 million acres of public land to oil, gas, and mining companies at virtually no cost. That doesn't happen for no reason. I don't know that it'd be constitutional...but I'd be fully in favor of some sort of public financing system for campaigns, even if it had to be created constitutionally. I'd try to argue that it is almost more unconsititutional to have a dollar vote decide our campaign cycle, vs one person-one voice-one vote. The system we have now denies the poor people any "free speech" because they don't have the means to engage in the speech that PACs and multimillionaires have. Does the campaign system we have truely reflect free speech if there is an entire sector socioeconomically that has no voice?
