Judge to Dinesh D'Souza: no summer break for you!
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/05/dinesh-dsouza-summer-break-community-serviceDinesh D’Souza, a conservative pundit and author, has been serving court-ordered community service and spending his nights in a community confinement center since pleading guilty to campaign finance violations last year.
Perhaps believing he deserved a break from his punishments, D’Souza had his probation officer request a summer break from his state-sanctioned duties. The judge in the case, Manhattan federal judge Richard Berman, didn’t find such an arrangement appropriate.
“With respect to [the] request that Mr. D’Souza’s community service hours be ‘waived’ from June 1, 2015, until July 13, 2015, the request is respectfully denied,” Berman wrote, according to the New York Post. “The short explanation is, as all criminal defendants are aware, that we don’t provide ‘summer breaks’ in these circumstances.”
Here at VF.com, we were tickled to learn that D’Souza’s parole officer submitted a Vanity Fair profile of D’Souza for the consideration of the court. The article, from our May issue, was written by contributing editor Evgenia Peretz. In an accompanying video, D’Souza explained his worldview and posed for some interesting photographs.
“With respect to the Vanity Fair article, the court has no immediate reaction other than the article suggests several fertile areas of discussion during Mr. D’Souza’s required therapeutic counseling,” Berman wrote. We’ll let him be the judge. (Because he is a judge.)

That turd should be thankful he didn't get the time in the real slammer he so richly deserves.
Having to endure a summer without a vacation is probably the best example of him being under the yoke of Obamacare.
for "fertile areas of discussion." 
Oh, she's a Catholic convert:
