blah, blah, blah. So we now excuse such appointment decisions -- on the occasion of a horrible double murder of innocents -- and fail to hold accountability because of political expediency? Give me a break. I'll hold my breath waiting for Romney's apology on this one.
quote: "But Romney stopped short of expressing regret for his nomination of Superior Court Judge Kathe M. Tuttman. Overturning the bail decision of a lower court on charges he assaulted prison guards, Tuttman set Tavares free July 16."
quote: "While some speculated that the nomination could emerge as a thorny issue for Romney, noted political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics said, “Romney has a way out, but he hasn’t used it. This is so egregious he ought to come out and say, ‘I’m sorry I appointed (the judge).’
quote: “If he doesn’t (apologize),” Sabato said, “he’s asking for a negative attack ad, which would be a devastation. It will compare him perhaps unfairly to the Dukakis furlough program.”

One other thing: How about bringing back the death penalty for guys like this? That should have happened after he knifed his mother to death in 1991 and we wouldn't be dealing with him in 2007 and the trauma he has caused to society.
