Of course I agree they are persons, who fall under the protection of the Constitution as concerns any other person’s right to life.
I do not believe that the federal government is given the authority to REDRESS remedies as to “acts of violence” committed against ANY innocent person.
Those are matters always left to the states. As I earlier stated, the death penalty, a social issue, is also left to the states. I would not have the federal government dictate the remedies, for all states, concerning acts of violence committed by others against innocents.
Well, then again I ask you: What other unalienable rights do you think the federal government has no authority to protect? Why is the penultimate right of all, the right to live, not part of the sworn oath of federal officers of this government?
