no, I disagree...maybe in the Middle ages the kings were more important, but gee, we have this little thing called a constitution that says that we are all created equal.....
my point only is that the very judicial system that has let all Americans down is the same system that helped produce this tragedy today.....
if we weren't so politically correct, if we didn't let the ACLU run roughshod over our laws, if we were more concerned with the safety of society instead of making the defendent look good, then Mr. Nicohls would never have been out of prison garb and he would have had handcuffs on......
its the same fuzzy thinking that allows convicterd child molesters to ever walk the streets again.....that allowed Steven Straynor's rapist and abductor to be free to try it again....
As I said, the judicial system isn't perfect, individual judges do let the system down.
But the ACLU and all those fools, the best way to deal with them is to support Bush's judicial nominations of strict constructionists and those who oppose the overreaching judicial legislation. That is a political, not a judicial, issue. And it comes from the federal side.
Judges in Georgia are ELECTED, not appointed. So if somebody is letting folks down, it's the Georgia voters who don't care enough to vote in judicial elections or familiarize themselves with the candidates.
If you don't see the danger of murdering a man in the position of the representative of justice, then you are not thinking about the consequences of this attack on the system (not on the individual man, who is no more important than you or I).
This is not fuzzy thinking. It is vital to the preservation of the Republic.
