So if they make being conservative or being Christian illegal, you will be all for jailing them, “because they knew the stakes?”
How many times to you vote for your imperial lord Obama?
Wow...that is so twisted I don’t know where to start.
Three strike laws were enacted by conservative legislatures because liberal judges were letting criminals walk time after time. Because these laws are based on three felonies, the liberal judges now allow plea bargains down to misdemeanors in cases where, in the past, the perp would have gone to jail.
I have a close friend who is a conservative judge. He, and other judges like him, look at the entire record of the perp and refuse to allow plea bargains with habitual offenders.
In short we have gone from a system where a habitual criminal would get multiple small sentences, to a system where, for the most part, they get no jail time until they run afoul of a conservative judge three times then, bang, they go away for a long time.
Both systems suck, but I prefer the one where the habitual criminal eventually gets put away for a long sentence.
BTW, my friend tells me that the long sentences are a joke as well. He sentenced a “really scary guy” who ran drug and prostitution rings to 30 years in 1999 right after Florida enacted their three strikes law and he says the guy will be getting out of jail in February after serving about 15 years.

Two times less than you did apparently. You have a soft spot for repeat felons, I don’t
