Views shift on use of executionsWhat if 1976 hadn’t played out the way it did, and some of the jurists on the U.S. Supreme Court had held the view of

reinstated.More.

"The basic lawyer meme is anything that shows lawyers as rude, greedy, arrogant or just plain dishonest. This means that lawyers and judges are culturally misperceived." ASSUMPTION: That most lawyers and judges are just as reported. It that justified? What has the rise of the legal class since WWII done good for America? Has not our profession brought much of the modernist ills in governance, and is not most government corruption, financial or ideological (i.e. PC movement) not the fault of attorneys, by and large? Here is what Old Slewfoot has to say about that, and he is quite the expert witness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6bC9w9cH-M
hi
"You cannot eat the constitution" sounds like a cynical perspective toward the rule of law. In other words, in a national emergency the rule of law goes out the window, so that some strong man like FDR, Tito or Obama can rule with an iron fist, albeit allegedly benevolent? Is that the upshot here? If so, please consider those who fear such cynicism could cost us everything ... PROF JONATHAN TURLEY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman (Congressional hearing). The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch. This Newtonian orbit that the three branches exist in is a delicate one but it is designed to prevent this type of concentration. There is two trends going on which should be of equal concern to all members of Congress. One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction.

Think the only reason he shows any sign of remorse is he got caught. I don't believe once he's freed that he 'll make any attempt to pay his victims' back. He'll probably just try and disappear.
What are the odds of this happening on a random draw ..... all females running the state operation: "before a panel of three special masters appointed by the Indiana Supreme Court: retired Monroe Circuit Judge Viola Taliaferro, Boone Superior Judge Rebecca S. McClure and Lake Superior Judge Sheila M. Moss. Judicial Qualifications Commission attorney Adrienne Meiring" NOW, I thought gender did not matter? Does it?
