Speaking of discredited sources, the local newspaper is just reprinting a slight gloss on a press release from a group with a clear political axe to grind (a Koch-funded libertarian advocacy group representing the motel owners). I guess the judge hearing the case will have to sort out which side's version is more accurate.
I'm sure the Kochs and their pet lawyers are every bit as awful as all the law-and-order fans (and political participation critics!) here on HN contend. On the sliding scale of evil scumbags, however, they'd have to travel for miles to catch sight of any federal prosecutor one could name.
