I don’t know about you, but when the Supreme Court rules that something’s unConstitutional, I tend to think “well shit. I disagree, but the court overruled me”, and I move on with my life.
Unfortunately, we have sore losers, who don’t understand the rules.
First up, the death penalty for rape of a child.
Personally, if I find out that someone has raped a child in my life, I don’t know how I’d react. I might call the police and let them deal with it, I might beat the person senseless, I may even kill them. But I do believe that it’s a very slippery slope when you put people to death for anything other then treason, espionage, and murder. Soon, you’ll have people saying “well, rape of a child gets the death penalty, what about rape of a full grown adult”? And it will go on and on until we’re putting people to death for crimes that you wouldn’t think now would be death penalty cases.
Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called the ruling "incredibly absurd," "a clear abuse of judicial authority" and said officials will "evaluate ways to amend our statute to maintain death as a penalty for this horrific crime."
Oklahoma officials said they, too, weren't ready to give up, and would "certainly look at what options we have," state senator Jay Paul Gumm said. "I think the people of Oklahoma have spoken loudly that this is one of the most heinous of crimes."
The court ruled, and these people can’t seem to get it out of their head that they lost. I’m very pro death penalty, I think everyone knows that, but this simply isn’t a crime that requires the death penalty. Severe punishment? Absolutely. Announce the crime that this person committed to the general population of prison and see how long they last.
Second up, and this is my favorite: Nancy Pelosi.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says that despite the Supreme Court decision to strike down its gun ban, the District of Columbia will still be able to regulate firearms.
"I think it still allows the District of Columbia to come forward with a law that’s less pervasive," Pelosi said at her weekly briefing Thursday. "I think the court left a lot of room to run in terms of concealed weapons and guns near schools."
You LOST Nancy. Get it through your thick skull. There’s no room for idiots like you who want to restrict the Constitutional rights of others. If a person is a law abiding citizen, then they have the right to own a gun. You may not like it, but statistics don’t lie. DC was the murder capital of the US for a long time, DURING WHICH TIME THE BAN WAS IN PLACE.
So, people start to own guns, all of a sudden, crime goes down. Ever wonder why there aren’t mass shootings at gun shows, police stations, or any place where guns are readily available to law abiding citizens? It’s because we’re smart enough to police ourselves and take out a bad guy if he decides to act up.
You’re the worst kind of politician. You LOST and you’re not even grown up enough to admit it. You’re willing to ignore the Constitution when it doesn’t suit you, and point to it when it does. Let’s not forget your hypocritical nature.
You were wanting even further torture of Al-Qaeda terrorists after 9/11, a meeting with notes as to who was there proves it. However, when it became unpopular, you turned tail against those who were doing it.
You promised to get rid of the “culture of corruption”, yet you promoted a suspected, and let’s face it CORRUPT member of your own party who’s accused of accepting bribes. So, in your infinite wisdom, you decide to promote William Jefferson to a post that allows him access to classified materials. Good planning.
Then, you have Congress trying to push through a bill that would bail out lenders who made bad business choices. One of your own Congressman Dodd, got a sweetheart deal from Countrywide, and he is pushing through this bill that would directly bail out Countrywide. At the VERY least, you owe it to the American people to ask Dodd to step down for fear of conflict of interest. You have failed to do so.
So until you get your act together, your opinion means exactly shit.
