“The hearing, a followup to his hearing last month in which he reiterated false claims about mental illness and violence, will notably not include a single mentally ill witness. Why not? Because, according to Tim Murphy, mentally ill people are not “competent” to testify about how a relaxation of HIPAA rules would affect their own lives.”
I do not have enough middle fingers to demonstrate how angry this makes me.

“If I was to make an educated guess, I would guess that Adam Silver and David Stern and the Rockets organization, some other owners in the league, GMs, want me gone. And why do they want me gone? Because business is about convenience, not about doing what’s necessary. It’s about cutting overhead… And a lot of times, what’s best for us as human beings doesn’t meet that criteria for business people.”

The fact is, there are in the US, and all industrial countries, two systems of law. There is the law of the land, the civil law and then there is psychiatric law. The law of the land applies until a person is psychiatrically labeled. Once labeled, a person is no longer under the protections of civil law, which in the US is derived from the Constitution, but the labeled person comes under psychiatric law. Psychiatric law is sanctioned by judges who defer to expert opinion of the psychiatrist. In so doing, the psychiatrist becomes the judge and jury of the decisions regarding the interventions ordered.
