Kareem and I are saying the same thing. :emoticon-animal-022: but he's got a lot more game.

Tripp was indicted for wiretapping in Maryland, but Starr had granted her immunity from federal prosecution in return for handing the tapes over to his investigation, so basically the evidence against her was not available to the prosecution. So the charges were dropped.

I felt this way about the recorded conversations between Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky. They were recorded without permission, so I don't understand how they were admissable in court.
The Tripp tapes were used during the Grand Jury investigation, and Grand Jury hearings can include hearsay and evidence acquired illegally. I have no idea why that is so.

I don't see why anybody really cares about what "she" did. Big whoop. She didn't put a gun to his head and have him spout his lunacy. Yeah, we gotta spot on protect this billionaire's privacy rights.

As a private citizen, I'm free to give all the weight I wish to give to hearsay and illegally obtained evidence. Those things only matter in court. An NBA owners meeting is not court.

Yet. Donald Sterling is not in any trouble. He's just gonna lose his basketball team. That's nothing really. He still gets to keep all the money. And he can buy all the hoochies he wants.
ESPN writer Bill Simmons sat behind him on an airplane. She was his assistant who sat in coach while he sat in first class. Funny story. http://grantland.com/features/sterlings-fold/

Kareem's article is brilliant IMHO.
Kareem is a brilliant man. He never received due recognition for his intellect, IMHO.
Love Kareem.
love that photo!and great article, esp. the last sentence.
"Instead of being content to punish Sterling and go back to sleep, we need to be inspired to vigilantly seek out, expose, and eliminate racism at its first signs."

I don't like to be put in a position defending Sterling, because think he's an awful person, but what is the just punishment for being a racist? It's honestly like some people forget he still has the same rights the rest of us imperfect people have. Yeah, I know, "But I'm not that bad." kj.
