Most leftist judges are whacked, but this is one example were women should NEVE be chosen as judges. Okay, flame on.
Peterson, 81, and other family members had filed suit on Tuesday, asking the Indianapolis court to delay the execution because they are medically vulnerable to the virus and arguing that traveling to Indiana to witness the execution would place them “at grave risk of life-threatening complications from COVID-19.”
Easy fix,dont go
They sure couldn’t wait to execute Timothy McVeigh.
Dorkbama judge?
Clinton judge?
And I use the term ‘judge’ very very loosely.
Another Obama judge....what a surprise.
“slated to be killed”
I believe the term is slated to be “executed,” unless of course you’re anti death penalty, leftist reporter.
Party on Garth. Party on Wayne.
Hold up! You mean they want to hold up putting this sorry individual to death because they are concerned he might get the C-Virus and die? Do I have this right?
“Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson”
‘Magnus-Stinson’. There’s an indication of your problem.
Yeah, lady he isn’t being executed in your name he is being executed for his heinous actions.........as he should be and Covid be damned, what a bullshit excuse.
This is not a protest against the death penalty, it is a request to protect the people who want to witness the execution but don’t want to put their own lives in danger also.
“...she did not want it done in her name.”
It’s not in YOUR name lady, it’s in the name of the law! There should be no mercy in such cases.
“...and three other men convicted for murdering children were slated to be killed in the coming weeks”
Notice the wording? The convicted murderers are slated to be “killed”... as if a murderer didn’t earn execution.
“Kill” is an imprecise word as their victims were also “ killed”. To paraphrase one of my Jr. High English teachers who disliked her students to use the word “got”.
“There is always a more precise word to use then the word “kill”. Be sure to find that precise word to accurately write and say what you mean.”
The Execution should go on as planned and the Judge should take his place.
It is not being done in your name Ms Peterson. It is being done in the name of JUSTICE.
SPJNK!
Compassion and Justice are sisters tho they don’t always get along very well or yield the best results.
Well of course they do- tie them up in courts for antoehr decade- costing taxpayers millions more
Execute the Judge as a Test Run and see what happens
Daniel Lewis Lee
Main concern that I have is questionable federal government involvement in case. My concern is based on following clarification of federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in congressional record by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker.
More specifically, Bingham had clarified that, until the 14th Amendment was ratified, the states had never given feds the specific power to make peacetime penal code, not even for murder.
"Our Constitution never conferred upon the Congress of the United States the power - sacred as life is, first as it is before all other rights which pertain to man on this side of the grave - to protect it in time of peace by the terrors of the penal code within organized states; and Congress has never attempted to do it. There never was a law upon the United States statute-book to punish the murderer for taking away in time of peace the life of the noblest, and the most unoffending, as well, of your citizens, within the limits of any State of the Union, The protection of the citizen in that respect was left to the respective States, and there the power is to-day [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See bottom half of third column.)
Note that the 14th Amendment limits Congress to making peacetime penal code to discourage only state actors from abridging rights that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect, not for cases like Daniel Lewis Lee imo. His case is a state power issue imo.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
So while I agreed with death penalty based on the limited info I have, Lee is not getting constitutional due process from unconstitutionally big federal government imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
