Liberalism is a mental disorder, or at least some of them are mental but the dissonance is... so says Dr. Lyle Rossiter. He, at least, has proper credentials... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FElRy...

I hope you are right and his legal counsel knows of this. At the very least it should be filed and on record. Win or lose.

That is terrible. Total injustice. Almost like double jeopardy being punished twice for the same crime, or at least having sentence altered after the fact. One could argue that a judge, even one with his professed credentials was applying "cruel and unusual" punishment. How is it not when calling a man less than mentally stable when experts in the field have deemed him so?
This is just wrong... In my estimation this liberal judge who "can't understand" is the one with a mental problem.

While this story is disturbing on its own, it is illustrative of a larger equally disturbing phenomena. When federal judges sentence defendants to supervised release to follow imprisonment, they often order dozens of conditions to go along with it. Those conditions, some of which make sense (don't commit other crimes, don't contact the victim) and some of which don't (get counseling where none is really indicated), come with an explicit threat: If you violate any of the terms of your release it can then be revoked and you may then be imprisoned for the remainder of the supervised release term. This scheme sometimes leads to the kind of bizarre result seen here. It is extremely difficult to challenge any of these conditions because the defendant has often pleaded guilty knowing that supervised release is on the horizon. Therefore he is deemed to have agreed to the terms in advance.

No, he cannot appeal the sentence, but he could take an interlocutory appeal of the most recent order to the 2nd Circuit and argue that the renewal of the treatment term amounts to an abuse of discretion by the District Court. This appeal would not have a snowballs chance, but it could be filed .

oh. I did not know that. thanks for the clarification, jd.

No he can not appeal, He Plead Guilty thus giving up his right to appeal.

I am absolutely amazed this is not mainstream news. The media is really bought out.....

'1984' mixed with 'One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest'. Nurse Ratched would be proud.

I would hope his lawyers question the fact a court is ordering medical treatment when no evidence or request was made by the state, it appears to be his own silly idiotic idea and I think "cruel and unusual" comes into play.

Liberals, and Democraps, and the odd Republicrap that signs the Oath...

Too many people are busy looking for their next 4 wheeling site, or vacation spot. Also, mainstream media refuses to touch anything that they are not "allowed" to report. 1984....

Indeed, Counter-Revolutionary has been used up to the very end of the Communist Empire as an excuse to send peole to the Gulag. I believe Andrie Tupoleve even was sent there by Stalin for having the temerity to want to build a big bomber before WW2, saying they would need it, then was brought back when they needed him. This Judge is a poster child for the outrages of the current government. We need a collage with him, Lerner, Pelosi, Clinton and Obama, for the "How not to Rule" poster.

Well of course! Any reasonable Progressive on the State Science Committee would think he was nuts. I recommend they assign Dr. Lou Dobbs or Dr Megyn Kelly to pronounce his health so he may again bedevil the SSB.

exactly

No demoncrat, liberal or progressive was EVER ordered to undergo psychiatric care after committing much worse...end of comment!

I don't suppose thinking the campaign finance restirctions are unconstitutional would be considered a psychologicproblem? How aobut thinking they are pointless and ineffective?

They are sociopaths.

First, in my opinion, the judge needs counseling.
Second, if Obama has more of the trait the judge describes, then why is he not taken out of office and sent to therapy? Third, the training manual for communist party members in the USA, called for as many people as possible to be put under the care of psychologist, but not competent one, rather ones who would promote the goals of communism. That is how they take over a country from within. Sound like Hillary's plan? Make being a conservative a crime, then fix them to be good little Red.

Let me get this straight...
Dinesh donated ten grand and was fined 30 grand...?
Was he stealing or does this just fall under the category of: "I have the money and want to donate, but the "rules" say I CAN'T?"
It seems to me that if there is a broken system in this country, it is the judicial system.

I love that he is giving his students copies of his work as gifts. I would love to support that portion of this insanity as a continuing effort! He should be given a new judge and have his case reviewed to end the mandatory BS, but yes, lets get his work in front of as many immigrants as possible!

Didn't Winston Smith also praise O'Brien for helping him to see that 2+2=5, he loved Big Brother, and the eventual bullet to the back of his neck? I sense a very sad similarity between D'Souza and 1984...

In the old Soviet Union, being a "counter-revolutionary" (being against the Communist Revolution of 1917) was defined as mental illness and people were taken away. How about the apparent mental illness associated with the Clinton Foundation's receipt of donations as quid pro quo for favorable trade deals of foreign countries with Iran, in violation of the sanctions (as HRC was Secretary of State)? I guess that's okay, now that there aren't going to be any more sanctions on Iran anyway? Leftist hypocrisy reaches new levels evey day. If I were Dinesh, I'd tell the judge to go f*ck himself! Also, the quote "I had a major in psychology" reminds me of the guy in the old TV show "Mr. Science," who claimed he had a "Master's degree - IN SCIENCE!"

It is Judge Berman who has the mental disorder. I call it Surrealiberalitis. It is reaching pandemic proportions among liberals. It is unfortunate that Mr. D'Souza has been subjected to the actions of this irrational lib.

By overruling the judgement of two psychiatrists, that judge is placing himself above medicine doctors. This clear abuse of authority, combined with an equally clear suspicion of partiality, should disqualify him from his functions.
