Today's hypocrisy: Rights in Russia

 Allegedly, Brittney Griner, well known basketball player not known for demonstrably loving the United States of America, is alleging her rights have been violated in Russia: "July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner, who is on trial in Russia on drug charges, said in court on Wednesday that her rights were not read to her when she was detained at a Moscow airport on Feb. 17."

What "rights" were those?

Those we enjoy under Amendments I - IX? 

Hardly.

Apparently, Ms. Griner thought she was still in the good-old U S of A, instead of Russia, the bastard child of the former Soviet Union, where she has been playing off-season basketball since 2014..

If you lie down with dogs, eventually you'll end up with fleas.
