This guy sure wishes that Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg was in charge I'm sure.....

"The law clearly states that it is illegal for a grown man to have sex with a child," he said.

Something the pedophile-defenders keep ignoring. Guh. Sickening.

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius recently said she was asking legislators to establish a strict ban on marriage involving anyone younger than 16.

It's okay with liberals if schools teach pre-teen kids how to use condoms or that homosexuality behavior is to be respected. They want young girls to have abortion on demand without parental consent. But god forbid that anyone under 16 should get married,

Many years ago in Denver, an underage girl was gang-raped and beaten but the charges were dropped after the thugs claimed it was consensual.

Radio talk show host Ken Hamblin pointed out that the girl was under the age of consent and the gang-bangers should have been charged with statutory rape. The city prosecutors just smiled at this attempt to impose middle-class morality on the inner-city culture.

I actually agree with Sebelius on something. I don't suppose that will ever happen again.

50 years ago, most folks would have agreed that he loved her and 'did the right thing' by marrying her and given the couple a chance to make a go of their marriage.

Marriage would have wiped out any criminality. The child would have had a legal father, responsible for the child's welfare, and the young mother wouldn't have had to rely on her own resoures.

Is this criminal outcome a better solution?

Koso's lawyer, Yoesil, has said the girl's mother and Koso's parents approved of the marriage.

What about the girl? Did she want to get married or not?

Matthew Koso legally married the girl in Kansas, which has no minimum age for marriage, after she became pregnant...
Nebraska, however, requires people to be at least 17 before they can marry and prohibits people 19 or older from having sex with anyone under age 16.

An interesting "full faith and credit" problem, at least.

First Senator Hagel, and now this. Y'know, our image here in Nebraska has really suffered over the last few years.

"The girl's father has not lived with the family for some time."

So now she has a Daddy and a Husband all rolled up into one and a baby doll, too! Life should be perfect, right? Good Grief.

I'd give the guy a pass. He has a child to look after and a young wife!
