CONDEMN THE COURT IN MOSCOW FOR ITS TREATMENT OF PUSSY RIOT

What's up with the Russian court system?  A judge in Moscow sentences three members of Pussy Riot to two years in prison for singing a ribald hymn to the Mother of God, asking to drive Putin out.  Since when should the courts punish "disrespect" for organized religion?  Is Pussy Riot's real offense a complaint against the establishment of the Russian Orthodox Church.

I am a retired lawyer.  I am ashamed of the court's decision.
