The Factor has urged the removal of Ohio Judge John Connor, who sentenced a multiple child molester to probation. Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro agreed that Connor has to go. "I'm hoping Judge Connor simply leaves the bench. This outrageous sentence shows he can not be trusted to do the right thing. He's been a lenient judge in the past, but this outrage takes the cake. We can not sit back and see this kind of behavior not be punished." The Factor applauded Petro and others in Ohio who are actively working for Connor's ouster. "I have to congratulate the state of Ohio. The legislature is going to look into impeaching the judge, and Ohio looks like it is doing the right thing."

The government has charged members of the prison gang Aryan Brotherhood with dozens of murders. T.J. Leyden, himself a former skinhead, described the organization. "The Aryan Brotherhood is race-based inside the prison system, but when they get out on the streets it's a criminal conspiracy. If you can think of anything criminals can do, they're into it. They're really into Hitler and Holocaust denial, and they believe they're warriors. The members do not like black gang members and would rather kill one than talk to him." The Factor questioned why gangs are able to operate inside prisons. "You would think that with all the high tech gear the prison authorities could control these people. It seems the prison guards and wardens should be able to stop drug trafficking inside a penitentiary."

The Dixie Chicks, the country singers whose record sales plummeted after they ridiculed President Bush in 2003, are releasing a comeback album. Music journalist Scott McKenzie reported that the three-woman group seems to be defiant. "Their new single essentially says we don't have any regrets, we sleep well at night, and the people who were sending us threats were wrong. And they're starting to get surprisingly big radio play on major stations." The Factor pointed out that the Dixie Chicks' country fans tend to be conservative. "If they had been rappers or rockers, it wouldn't have mattered at all. They could have dissed Bush all day long in those environments."

Tens of thousands of US students will flock to Florida, Mexico, and other hospitable climates for spring break. Bush administration official John Walters issued a warning to their parents. "The vast majority of arrests, rapes, and deaths involve alcohol. You have to establish a relationship where your children understand what the dangers are and what you expect in the way of responsible behavior. And you have to set real limits and prepare them for situations they're going to face." The Factor wondered whether even the best advice can prevent bad behavior. "They're going to go to the saloons because that's where the other kids are. They're going to go to the beach and the parties. That's what spring break is all about. I would tell my own child to try to retain your dignity."

Fox News analyst Newt Gingrich is beginning a regular series of radio commentaries that will be heard on stations across the country. The former Speaker of the House joined The Factor with his thoughts on various issues, including the prospect of a Democrat victory in November. "If you end up with the Feingold-Pelosi-Dean wing of the Democrat party in control of either the House or the Senate, you can expect two years of investigations and attacks. Their willingness to put politics ahead of national security is amazing." On the international front, Gingrich denounced the United Nations, where a new Human Rights Council will include some of the world's worst human rights abusers. "When Cuba, Sudan, Libya, and Syria all applaud this, you know no progress has been made. This is a significant defeat for people who would like to see honest reform in the United Nations." The Factor agreed that the UN lacks moral authority. "The United Nations is corrupt and weak. Anyone putting their faith in the UN should go to Rwanda and ask the folks there."

Maryland has no mandatory minimum penalties for child molesters, and many criminals have re-offended after serving short jail terms. Representative Anthony O'Donnell explained that one man - House Judiciary Committee Chairman Joseph Vallario - has blocked a vote on Jessica's Law. "In the Maryland system the chairman of a committee has great autonomy and great power. Chairman Vallario has been opposed to all mandatory minimum sentences. I hope your viewers will send a message to the Maryland legislature to do this for the children. Shame on the folks who stand in the way of efforts to protect our children." The Factor pleaded with Joseph Vallario to at least allow the legislature to vote. "Vallario is a villain at this point, and he is welcome to come on the program and explain himself. But I doubt he has the courage to come on."

Dave Dickenson, Fairfield, CT: "Bill, I shared the Connor story with my students and they, too, are asking how these things can happen. I think Governor Taft will do the right thing."

Henrik Blunck, Denmark: "Punishment for violent crime is a hallmark of a civilized society. Thanks for focusing on this situation, Bill."

Dave Yeager, Hilliard, OH: "Bill, I've been reading the Columbus Dispatch and have not seen any reporting on Connor. Our left-leaning media strikes again."

Everett Sanborn, Irvine, CA: "Bill, I went to BillOReilly.com and emailed Governor Taft. I did not bloviate, was not truculent, nor did I act like a popinjay. I just told him Judge Connor has to go."
