Hillary flexed her legal muscles on a kid that was a victim of rape, needlessly. That's all I take from this story. It's not pretty, but, no, it doesn't change my mind that defendants have the right to a competent defense.
If the person making the claim has a history of making false accusations like this and is known to be mentally unstable, it is not unreasonable to ask for an evaluation. And a physical exam in such cases are common and/or mandatory. Ever heard of a rape kit?
Hillary did her job as a defense attorney, despite her not wanting the case, and she did what was reasonable in his defense.
This is being blown way out of proportion for nothing more than political partisanship.

Which I find disgusting and I am actually surprised that Hillary introduced the argument. I used to be a Hillary supporter once
Hillary did not introduce the argument. She was told that she had a history of making such accusations.
No. It was not a direct quote in her motion. She paraphrased whatever she was told. She said she was informed the claimant had made false accusations about people attacking her body. Very, very vague. Did she once lie and say her brother "hit her first" in an argument?
Hillary framed the argument to suit a motion to have the child undergo a psychological examination.
We actually have NO IDEA what Hillary was told. I imagine she used every teeny tiny bit of evidence (hearsay) that she could find to support her motion.
As would be her job. It would be correct of her to explore every avenue in their defense.
I do not disagree with that. The defendant is entitled to a lawyer that defends him.
I am just shocked that Hilary would put a kid through the claims in the motion to compel the court to grant a psychological examination and the actual exam.

I live in a flat, and our communal yard is already fenced off for aesthetic purposes more than any other reason. That being said my yard is not a nation nor has it a southern border hundreds of miles long.
Do you think its even viable cost effectively and will retard the influx of refugees?
If the answer is anything but NO then you really don't understand the problems regarding construction and policing of such a structure.
Your nation would be better served simply accommodating and legalizing these supposed illegal aliens thus have them contribute and pay taxes like the rest of you citizens.

Building a an untenable wall and electing a racist xenophobic sexist moronic fool as POTUS of the country is hardly the answer to the woes that America faces as a nation which is plain to see for anyone with half a brain.
So i doubt we are on the same page at all. But lets face it Trump has pretty much cut with own throat with regards to becoming POTUS through his own actions.
You should probobly also consider the notion that there is no control, only the illusion of such. People are people, colour creed or nationality aside, and should be afforded the same freedoms as anyone else, even alleged illegal Mexicans.

Burning it down. For whom?
Angry expression is fine, but this is real life. For example, Trump wins and repeals the ACA. Yay! You cheer!! Me? My very ill son's life will be put in jepordy OR we will simply lose everything and be forced into poverty so he can get Medicaid. Not joking here. So go burn down your own freaking life. Leave me and mine out of it.

I'm going to make an ass out of myself but I'm going to assume your son's condition is pre-existing. If that's correct, I just gotta ask, why couldn't congress pass a simple 1 paragraph bill forcing insurance companies to accept pre-existing conditions? There's no reason every single American should have to buy health insurance or pay a tax to make that happen.
