If he's a green card holder, which is likely, he's not deportable for a conviction for 30 grams or less of marijuana (personal use). If he's a nonimmigrant, he would be inadmissible 212(a)(2)(B). There are BIA ( Board of Immigration Appeals) decisions about this, no contests, pre trial diversions and other deferred adjudications are convictions for immigration proceedings. It is not fair however in New York State he might be given an adjournment for contemplation for dismissal which would not be considered a conviction for immigration. I read part of the judge's statement,of course he's getting special treatment. Even though he's probably not deportable, he doesn't know that. It will also delay his application for citizenship. look up sec 237(a)(2)(B) of the INA.

By the way, I wrote to you only once about this incident. 8-) To me, this appears to be a clear abuse of prosecutorial discretion, and I am disappointed that the Magistrate Judge did not refuse to dismiss the charge. I do not think the law is so settled that the Magistrate Judge was forced to dismiss and he should have, in my opinion, forced the US attorney to go through the motions of putting on no evidence. Nicely done, Patterico!

I don't know whether the dementia might be a result of being homosexual <i>per se</i> or of being homosexual while trying to remain Catholic. But something is seriously amiss, and how he can retain a public voice escapes me. But maybe it's just the impossible tension of wanting to be both promiscuous and faithful. Many of us heterosexuals suffer a similar dilemma, although at least the <i>telos</i> of love between man and woman is ethical. Homosexuality has no <i>telos</i> at all, just the impulses of aberrant lust. You know, I think the man is addle-pated.

She's just stupid. Andrew has issues but dementia isn't one of them. The Atlantic people know so many AIDS dementia victims from back in the day that they would know I think. AIDS used to be a very popular disease you know. I mean I don’t think the Andrew Sullivan has dementia any more than Meghan McCain has dementia. She’s just stupid.
