Bench Press

March 31, 2006

Fresh off his on-air vendetta against a Vermont judge, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly last month set his sights on an Ohio judge who had sentenced a sex offender to probation instead of jail.

He also hears from Bert Brandenburg of Justice at Stake, a nonpartisan group dedicated to preserving judicial independence.
