IOW's "Patooey on the Constitution..." which is the Supreme Law of the Land. Good riddens.

Well contrary to the cracked arm of 'conservatism' of which you seem to belong, the Constitution is merely a set of limitations on the national government. The Framers understood certain questions would come to the forefront within the respective states which is why we have the 10th Amendment. As I said, if Florida wants to muck about with the lives of its citizens, that's fine with me. But do not destroy what is left of the checks and balances between the national government and the respective state governments for your silly crusade.

Oh and learn to spell. It may help your argument..

Contrary to your cracked head, the Constitution is much more than that. It's very essence is it's guarantee of individual rights, the right to life preeminent among those.

State powers do NOT trump individual rights.

As I said, if Florida wants to muck about with the lives of its citizens, that's fine with me.

Of course it is because you have no conception of individual rights and the Constitution and federal government as guarantor of same.

But do not destroy what is left of the checks and balances between the national government and the respective state governments for your silly crusade.

State ordered death sentences are subject to judicial review at the federal level. Period. Those that oppose that are ignorant of the Constitution, American jurisprudence and individual rights in general. Evidently, you fit that description.

Oh and learn to spell. It may help your argument..

LOL, the last refuge of those bereft of an argument, the dreaded spelling police. Pathetic.
