And what we’re trying to tell you is that the Kansas legislature rightly addressed that loophole by demanding that Tiller submit records to justify that claim and Pontious Pilate Sebelius BLOCKED them. What do you propose be done when a elected official is being paid off to aid in the skirting of a law?
Like these "revolutionaries" said:
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
He was required to get that “loophole” verified, he did not.Then you get the AG impeached/fired. You're thinking like a liberal.The AG didn’t enforce that portion of the law. It wasn’t an exploited loophole, it was non-enforcement of the law.
Gee...And here I was thinking it was a Seldon Crisis.
The legislature defined the law, and Tiller avoided prosecution under that law by cozy relations with those supposed to enforce the law.
You obviously haven’t followed the Kansas situation very closely...
I’ll excuse your naivete as ignorance.

There's a reason, for all its imperfections, America has been so good for so long.

The children are innocent. Tiller was not.
Law embraces the notion of defending a third party. Should the shooter have waited until Tiller was "in the act"? Rather absurd. Tiller was bound to murder again.
Maybe Tiller should have been snatched and held someplace where he could not repeat his atrocities. I'm sure this suggestion, too, would be dismissed as a violation of law.
There are sins of commission and sins of omission. If people truly believe that abortion is murder, then not stopping the murder is to be complicit.
Who would not rejoice in the death of an Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, ...
The legislature defined the law, and Tiller avoided prosecution under that law by cozy relations with those supposed to enforce the law.This is why you can impeach people.
Not the same at all.
Our founding fathers had no representation, no authority, and had exhausted all other means of redress. This same simply cannot be said here.
We have representation. We have the right to organize and vote. We could replace the governor - we simply failed to convince enough other people to do so. We could replace the prosecutor - we simply failed to convince enough other people to do so. We had the right to further modify laws and close off loopholes. We even have the right to pursue a federal amendment to the Constitution banning ALL abortions - we just haven’t done so. We had the right to seek further prosecution before a vigilante killed him.
OK — well good luck with that. The should-be impeached governor is now is charge of the Health and Human Services for the entire country. Running interference for infanticide doctors will soon be coming to a mill near you!
Popular opinion has had no impact on the culture of abortion in this country, except insofar as most voters don't consider it an important issue at all.
We didn't see a spike in abortion cases after any of the four or five similar murders in the last 20 years, did we?
Oddly enough, I think the single biggest factor in the decline of abortion in this country is the utter revulsion that most respectable physicians feel about the procedure. Many retired abortionists point to this as one of the key reasons why they got out of the business . . . they just had a sense that their peers in the medical profession didn't consider them "real" doctors at all. And rightly so.
To all who would shoot a downed person or kill for revenge, this is how the left will defeat you and take your guns by law. WAKE US YOU STUPID PEOPLE!!!
Precisely. And this is why I think this murder was no accident.
0bama will use this to his advantage and the pro-death demons are grinning ear to ear. And why not? They love death, even if it's one of their own.
Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.
Oh, dear...

Nobody said living in a democracy was easy.
Ding ding ding. Don’t you get tired of being right all the time? ;)
And to you as well =)

One part of my "coming of age" politically as a high school student was the famed "subway vigilante" shooting on a New York City subway train in December 1984. The entire city of New York was rooting for the guy who carried out that shooting (he shot four thugs who tried to mug him), and I don't know anyone who was happy to see him convicted of various weapons offenses even though he was acquitted of attempted murder.
