PIRRO V. THE PERV-PROTECTORS
Westchester DA Jeanine Pirro, who has the... task of trying to unseat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, finds herself under ferocious attack...
At issue are her remarks this week to the Chemung County Republicans in Elmira, where she ripped into Democratic leaders for their continued opposition to a bill to let the state confine violent sexual predators in mental hospitals after they serve their criminal sentences.
"That's a difference between Democrats and Republicans," said Pirro. "We don't want them next door molesting children and murdering women."
Not surprisingly, Democrats are shrieking hysterically over what..(is)... labeled "an affront to common decency and an outrageous insult to . . . law-abiding Democrats."
They're demanding an apology.
Pirro says no.
Good for her — because, however inartfully she phrased it, she's right..
As The Post first reported, Gov. Pataki has authorized .... use.. (of).. existing civil-confinement laws to detain violent sex offenders beyond their original sentences.
Unfortunately, those laws weren't written to apply to sexual predators...snip
There wouldn't be a problem, however, if the Legislature passed a law — like those enacted by 16 states and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court — explicitly covering sexual offenders.
Since 1998, Pataki has pressed the Legislature to do just that. Six times, the GOP-controlled Senate has done so. But each time, the bill has died in the Democratic-controlled Assembly — because Speaker Sheldon Silver has refused to let it come to a vote...
As for Hillary Clinton, her office says she favors a civil-confinement law.
Good — now let her use her position as the state's most prominent Democrat to send Sheldon Silver the message that the rest of her party won't: Blocking this bill protects sexual predators.
Until that happens, Jeanine Pirro is fully justified in raising the issue...

The dems are led by a sexual predator, Mr Bill Clinton. And his wife is an enabler of the sexual predator.
Great little group of folks there.
A D.A., big time law type, and can't mention the 900+ STOLEN FBI files???!!! She's not running against hillary, she's aiding and a betting!!!
"We don't want them next door molesting children and murdering women."
But murdering men is OK...
Okay, who taught the Democrats how to use "common decency" in a sentence?
As in: it's also an affront to common decency to accuse people of starving children, kicking the elderly out in the snow, and lacing drinking water with arsenic.
Isn't that the truth.Yet they have the un-mitigated gall to lecture the rest of us, as if they had the moral authority.
They're a sick, twisted bunch.
A sign that Piero is going to mount a full offensive against Ol' Crusty. This is just an early volley. If any state has ammo laying everywhere for a smart GOP candidate, NY is it.
The rat party is (excuse my pun) seriously in bed with Ruth Bader Ginzberg's ACLU, ferocious supporters of NAMBLA.
Pirro is 1000% correct.
We have such a law in Minnesota, but I'm split on it. On the one hand, I like that violent sex offenders are kept from hurting anyone, but on the other hand I don't like that a person can serve their sentance and then be essentially re-sentanced to life with only the stroke of a judicial pen. Seems like a system ripe for abuse.
The more they shriek and howl about it, the more voters will realize it's the dems who are blocking action on the issue.
It's an easy next step to show Clinton as a weak leader who can't get the dems to change course.
From what I know of Pirro, she's a streetfighter, a brawler.This is perfect for her.
She'll look strong and by constrast, Clinton will look weak.
I love tough, honest, determined Italian women.
