A convicted killer in Texas was executed Tuesday for fatally shooting another man in a robbery that yielded just $8.

No late appeals were filed for Juan Martin Garcia, who was lethally injected for the September 1998 killing and robbery of Hugo Solano in Houston.

In reality, the inconsistency is with the leftists who uniformly favor abortion and yet march in unthinking lockstep against the death penalty.

Good point, and indeed, that lockstep ought to be the point of attack. How come Democrat senators never fall out of step? Representatives? How can they be representing their constituents, if they are so amenable to rigid control by their caucus? And if they are susceptible of such control, isn't it dangerous to entrust them with our liberties and our government?

With anything?
