Well, Nerd, when North's felony conviction was overturned on a technicality, the right-wing loonies that supported his illegal activities cheered and raised him up as a hero.

I don't think I'll hear them cheering next time a rapist's or child molester's (or poor, Black drug addict's) conviction is overturned on a technicality.

That's not "values". That's situational ethics.
