A carefully crafted death penalty law that punishes those adults who rape (and we are not talking about statutory rape) small children envisions a punishment 'that is disproportional to the nature of the crime', so sayeth the United States Supreme Court. The 5-4 decision was joined by all the four liberal judges (the kind that Barack Obama has pledged to appoint) along with one 'moderate' and vigorously opposed by the four so-called conservative judges (the kind that John McCain has promised to seek). Well, normal, average, decent America, itf you ever needed a reason for being ultra leery of Barack Obama's judicial picks-and wanting know why it is important to have judges who RESPECT the right of legislature to protect the vulnerable-you need to reflect on this.
The liberal Democrats fervently believe that our liberites are served by having judges who think the death penalty in too much punishment for the rapist of a seven year old girl. And that is exactly the kind of judges you will get at every level of the federal judiciary when Barack Obama becomes president. Oh I know Obama said he 'disagreed' with the decision; what else did you expect him to say? But time and again he has said and will say that he will appoint judges like Justices John Paul Steven and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, judges who passionately believe in going light on child rapists.
Now, KsReaganite is almost an opponent of the death penalty and finds it very very disturbing. But for rape of a child, once it has been proven by eye witness testimony and credible due process to a jury of peers, my conscience will have no qualms in saying: fry the son of a witch if that is what the law says.
You want your child protected? Better vote McCain because if Mr. Obama becomes president, the rape of a seven year old girl may not be something we'd be allowed to punish too harshly.
By the way, you'll notice not a squeak about the decision today from Planned Parenthood and NOW; if it surpsises you, it doesn't surpsise me, because for all their glossy public relations, I have always considered those groups to be extremely anti-children. Plus they are embarassed after screaming at the top of their lungs how liberal judges were needed to protect women and children; please, the liberal judges just endorsed the rape of a seven year old girl. Shame on these pro-pedophile liberal judges and the groups who support them.
