I'm assuming she's dead?

I don't pay attention to that kind of useless news, so....

Especially galling to me is the supposed christers throwing money at these frauds when scripture already fucking forbids it.

Come on people, pick one delusion and stick with it.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Oh yeah, she dead. Everyone suspects she died as a cheap cop-out from James Randi's challenge which he issued to her.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I've seen first hand the damage a medium can do, and not just financially. I have a friend whose life is basically over because they are unable to properly grieve over the loss of a loved one. The medium perpetuates the idea that she is "still here", and this causes her to obsess over it, as she is encouraged to do. It's revolting. The medium tells her what her loved one "wants" and so on.

Obviously my friend is very gullible, but the law should protect people from such obvious harmful cons.

Big business is a major culprit also.
As I joked before about cosmetic creams, the reason they are sold as cosmetics and not legit pharmaceutical products is because the manufacturers know their products will fail testing as advertised by the relevant legal agencies. Most have an active ingredient of false hope.

So she talks to the dead?

I wonder if she has spoken to the Republican Party.

No different to paying a psychologist. You are not buying a physical product.
