And, of course, the whole crooked judge sending kids away for hard time for kickbacks was originally from a Mamie van Doren ’50s film, “Untamed Youth” (parodied brilliantly by MST3K).

Generally, however, any movie or show which stars crooked, amoral attorneys and judges is usually based on reality in some fashion.

The episode being discussed here was a re-run. The actual final new episode of the season was the last episode I will ever watch, because all the sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful women went bad in the same episode (took the plunge toward infidelity and lesbianism). If Alicia can’t stand her husband, why does it necessarily follow that she has to hook up with the lawyer guy immediately?

When the Dem. “Chief Justice” (just what she was chief of I’m not sure) said, “It is just one kid,” that was the most revealing moment of all.

I love NCIS, but after these two episodes am not so sure they can count on me as a fan. It was worse then Law and Order, which I used to like(gone are those days.

I don’t know about this conclusion. I saw the episode too. But, it seemed they detoured from the “racist” idea by saying, it really wasn’t racism after all, more like bribes, greed, and scratching each others backs.

I didn’t come away with that as the conclusion, but, yes, they did skirt around the idea, tepidly.

I think this episode was even more important and complex that it seems at first pass. Yes, the Democratic machine in Chicago took some hits, but there were also more subtle points being made. For example, at the first inclination that the judge was passing judgement based on something other than the merits of the cases before him, a couple of voices of reason at Alicia’s law firm said, “Wait, we need to have more evidence, we need to understand if there’s another motive at play.” They then partake on a statistical analysis that examined much more than the skin color of the juvenile defendents. The firm built a reasoned position based on statistical facts rather than an emotional, knee-jerk reaction. A breath of fresh air from the “I feel, therefore I’m right” position of so many today. Also revealed was the callousness of the intellectual elite. The judges of Chicago – black and white – closed ranks against Alicia’s law firm because someone had dared to criticize one of their number. Didn’t matter that real, living, breathing children were being sent to juvenile detention. What mattered was that power was questioned and that could not be tolerated.

I, too, have been so pleasantly surprised by “The Good Wife.” Interesting characters, high production values, and good story telling without the bland predictability so often on display from Hollywood.

It seems the entertainment industry is stepping it up lately with their anti-white, anti-Christian (or whatever majority) campaign. Unfortunately, the real message is lost on the clueless liberals who feel only more white-guilt and a need to further appease others at their own expense. As for me, these shows only confirm my beliefs.

For those who need to be hit in the head with a 2×4 to get a point here is the model for shows like Law & Order, Cold Case, etc.

1) a crime is committed
2) a minority is wrongly blamed
3) the true culprit (white and/or Christian) is apprehended

This plot line is regurgitated from an old L&O episode, which is no surprise. The writing on prime time television is pathetic and borrowed. The judge on the previous show was getting kickbacks for sending kids to a juvenile detention center for small offenses.

J: No, actually, as I noted in this column, its a plotline taken from the headlines (this actually happened with a Pennsylvania judge), which is where L&O got it. But L&O didn’t portray the guy as a liberal and Obama supporter. DS
