McKinney has defended Operation Rescue members and has protested in front of Tiller's clinics. Making him a special prosecutor to look into abortion makes no more sense than appointing someone with close ties to Planned Parenthood as special prosecutor.
If the special prosecutor in Kansas believed along with then Kansas Attorney General Kline who appointed him that Killer Tiller had violated Kansas law, inter alia, by failing to report abortions performed on underage girls as either obstruction of justice or as violation of a mandatory reporting statute (thereby prosecuting the perp for thwarting Kansas's attempts to bring a child molestor support system to justice), what is the problem???? He is the prosecutor and not the judge or jury. There are ethical requirements that a prosecutor cease prosecuting if and when he/she believes that the law has not been broken. No ethic requires a prosecutor to be neutral between the law and the defendant who appears to have violated it.
This also sounds like an argument that Elliot Ness was a teatotaller (no sympathy on that score alone) and shuld not have been allowed to go after Capone as a bootlegger. Maybe the feds should have hired Dion O'Bannion. Ness did pretty well believing in his work. Kline nd McKinney did too in the face of a high degree of elitist resistance in favor of mass babykilling.
No. The prosecutor is supposed to be the defendent's adversary. Does it make sense for a prosecutor to be neutral on robbery or murder if he is prosecuting a robber or murderer? I don't think so.
