She added, “And going beyond that, they also want to control what they call recreational sex. Recreational sex! This is so clearly a patriarchal theocracy that has embodied itself in the DNA of an entire political party in the United States of America.

The state's attorney general’s request for an execution warrant for Kenneth Eugene Smith was granted in a 6-2 decision by an all-Republican court. Last year, the Alabama Department of Corrections called off the execution of Smith when the people responsible for connecting two intravenous lines to him for lethal injection could not do so. While the ruling moves the state closer to becoming the first to attempt execution with nitrogen gas, there is likely to be additional legal dispute on the matter. Alabama joins Oklahoma...

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing Indiana on Richardson's behalf. ACLU spokesman Bertram Petty asserted that "while Autumn admitted to strangling 'the little f**king bitch' back in 2001, that doesn't mean she forfeits her constitutional rights.
