The Republic of Bennett
WAC? loves Texans, Texas, Houston, Texas, Archie Bell and the Drells, ZZ Top, Shelley Duvall, the late Bob Eckhardt (8th District Congressman, 1967–1981), and criminal defense lawyers. Always have. And we admire everything about Mark Bennett's first-rate Blawg Review #199 at his outspoken and useful-as-hell Defending People. We admired this sentence, too: "The lesson for trial lawyers is that the way we ask our questions affects not only the answers we get, but also whether we get answers at all." Tighten up, y'all.
Robert Christian "Bob" Eckhardt. Lawyer, editor and lawmaker (1913-2001). One authentic human.

China Corruption Happens.
And it's okay to talk about it. At China Law Blog, see "China Law And Corruption. You'd Better Know Which Way The Wind Blows" by Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson. Excerpt:
The [China] economy is trending down and paying bribes is illegal. You knew that already. What you probably do not know is that downward trending economies...always seem to expose things that upward trending economies do such a good job of hiding.
