Look for William Jefferson Clinton to move to California soon. One of his favorite sexual activities is being given a wink and a nod by that state's highest court.
You know ... the naughty kind of wink and nod that does nothing to protect your children, but certainly assuages the guilt of the judges' own moral code. And in doing so, it bends the reasoning of what should be a body that protects our citizens into one that targets them.
On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court voted 6 to 1 to not force those convicted of having oral sex with underage kids to register as sex offenders with the state. The majority judges said that the law was "too harsh and unfair." Yes, I'm sure that the problem with such enforcement is the resolute "unfairness" of punishing those who know it is a crime and yet do it anyway. How terrible.
The judges justified their conclusion by citing the fact that under the state laws of California people convicted of having actual sexual intercourse with those who are 16 and 17 years of age are not forced to register as a sex offender. Their argument claims a lack of equal protection under the law.
So help me understand something. Because the laws are all screwed up about the sentencing of a crime that is even worse than the one that is committed, therefore we have to let those who commit serious crimes off easy? For some reason, there is an aversion to tough punishment in the liberal courts today.
There was a time when those who broke God's moral laws were marked by society. The scarlet letter emblazoned, people went about their lives, but they were shunned, kept very much at arm's length from the whole of society.
In World War II, girls who slept with the Nazis in the occupied territories had their heads shaved upon liberation to identify them as weak, dangerous and even traitors to the homelands. In 2006, the sex-offender registration is a poor substitute for identifying the degenerates among us, yet it is the best system we have.
I'd personally much rather see those who have sex with children be dragged to the public square, have their crimes announced to society, and publicly executed. Their filth lives on in the minds of the victims whom they molest and that is all the life they deserve at that point.
But not in California.
Not in California's Supreme Court. Here, the brightest minds the California legal system can produce – who assumingly have children and families of their own – are the ones that see the danger, look it straight in the face, and utter the words "harsh" and "unfair." Now, the judges who should be the "most respected" (insert guffaw here) are telling the citizens in their state that those convicted of having sex with children isn't something the rest of the state should have the right to know about if someone is only convicted of stripping the minor and placing their mouth in contact with the child's genitals.
Forget whatever any other laws on the books say, shouldn't that act in and of itself earn you a ticket to utter disdain? And by winking at the crime – for which the person in the case before them only served 120 days – aren't they further perpetuating the likelihood that it will happen again?
The judges do make a good point: What on earth is wrong with the Legislature in California – and why isn't it an equally damnable crime for an adult to have sexual intercourse with a minor? Why aren't they already punished to the fullest extent of the law? Why aren't the perverts who crave such activity given the death penalty?
Wait, don't answer ... I already hear the judges mouthing the words ...
"Too harsh," and "unfair."

Every voter in this country has to read and re-read this. Maybe then the "average voter" will finally realize just how degenerate much of the judicial system is.
Thanks for the ping. (I think) :(
Oh no! This can't be! May God render them their just due!
Thanks for the ping. Jeepers...
God help me but Kalifornia is like some "bizzarro world."
The not quite as bad cesspit of Washington State...I'm a CA escapee, however.
It's ok to take photos of naked babies too.
It's still lewd and lascivious behavior, even for adults
You post explains why that sexuality education is in schools in the first place. These Judges should be run out of town.
***Parents, usually, really have no idea what rights of their own (and their child) they are signing away when they sign those start-of-school forms AND the sex-ed forms.***
Alia, thank you for your answer to my question. I am absolutley stunned. They are taking our children away from us, and they're doing it legally. Disgusting.
In my case, I left to attend a University in another state...I never returned largely because of the laws and high taxes and idiot politicians (although WA state has some real insane politicians now too, such as Patty Osama Murry).
I'd personally much rather see those who have sex with children be dragged to the public square, have their crimes announced to society, and publicly executed.
Amen to that!
I read an article like the one posted regarding the soul sick judges in CA and shake my head in absolute dismay.
Makes me want for each of these judges to walk into their homes and discover some someone engaging in oral sex with the judge's grandchild or child or niece, nephew, whatever. Nothing wakes up a dead soul like a reality slap in the face.
Children are innocent until ROBBED of this by predatory, soul sick creeps who find benefit in destroying such perfect innocence. The sick behavior of such predators, which must fulfill some psycho sexual need for control and satisfaction can devastate, hurt, confuse and even destroy a life too little and too weak and too young to fight back.
I would like the name and address of each of these judges. Wouldn't you?
Yeah, us baby boomers are the evil generation, we are responsible for all the ills of the country, hell, the world.
Only if someone else was by you guys in the tub kissing your private parts.
Well, they should know.
Only if someone else was by you guys in the tub kissing your private parts.
As was yours.
As was yours.
No thanks.
