Twenty-plus years ago, Barrett was beating this same drum in Jackson every chance he got -- uh -- took.  I'm trying to recall any time that one of his arguments was well received by anyone with legal authority.  While I cannot say with absolute certainty that he always fell flat on his face, he generally did.  It hardly matters; he was never playing to the court, but to the crowd.

Unfortunately, he is not the only one to take that tack.
