This is one of the big reasons that if I were king there would be no death penalty. That said, life behind bars would mean you will die behind bars.

I know this puts me out of step here, but man is fallible, is often not trustworthy, and the government should have no rights that the people don’t have. I can kill you in self defense, but I cannot kill you to punish you. We all know what a justifiable killing is when the individual kills. Why is there a different standard when the individual works for the government?

Sorry to go OT

I could support that, if it would be bare subsistence, no recreation or books, no bodybuilding, no computers, no videogames and no TV.

And no discretion for any court at any level to claim jurisdiction over the administration of any state prisons.

Congress has the power to limit even the jurisdiction of the Supreme court, in matters not clearly Constitutional.

I agree.Too many Mike Nifongs out in the world for me to trust the court system. It no longer hands down justice, it's a "win at all costs" contest.

BTW: Whats's "OT"?

The Kenyan must go.
