Which reminds me of an old story:
Recently, Justice Ginsburg and her former colleagues at the ACLU became especially exercised about the great number of executions occurring in Texas so they determined to send one of their young law clerks down there to work undercover and expose these rednecks. Using her influence, the Justice secured a summer internship with a West Texas judge of well known conservative impulse.
At the end of the summer the old judge called the young man into his chambers and asked, " Son, you got any questions about how we administer justice here in West Texas?"
"Yes your honor I do, I would like to know why it is you execute all these horse thieves but you let all these murderers go free?"
His honor expectorated into a spittoon and allowed, "well son, out here in West Texas we got a lot of men that need killing, but we ain't got no horses that need stealing."
