They were motivated by a desire to destroy all vestiges of the Constitution, not just the now-attenuated right to life.

Oh, I see--if one has the "correct" motivation, shooting an abortion doc in a parking lot until he stops moving is all right with you, or at least enough to get him off on criminal charges.

What's with the repeated effort to degenerate a thread by spittling out hyperbole after hyperbole? ... It would appear that Polycarp was clear and concise and that wideawake has been, also.

No you don't see.

The left likes to make facile analogies between Paul Hill and 9/11 which simply don't have any logical connection.

Paul Hill knew that he was breaking the law and Paul Hill accepted the consequences of his actions without making excuses for himself or lodging phony appeals. Paul Hill committed a crime and he paid for it with his life.

I don't believe either Polycarp or myself have argued that he should have "gotten off."

The fact is that his motivation was radically different from the motivation of a jihadist.

And shooting someone until they are out of their misery is merciful in comparison to "Dr." Britton's practice of leaving still-twitching, saline-scorched children in trash bags to die a painful death over a period of hours.

The fact is, your belief that the life of John Britton was intrinsically more precious than the lives of the thousands of children he murdered for cash on the barrel is erroneous and clouds your thinking.

Which explains the false inferences you drew from my post.
