The only flaw in the law professor’s statement...there’s no explanation over your loss of due process after you were shot and killed by the attacker in the first place. From six feet under, there isn’t much due process.

Living Up To Rosa Parks’s Legacy

By PATRICIA BROUSSARD
Wednesday, Nov. 02, 2005

If America is to maintain the international prestige it has gained on the back of Rosa Parks, it must monitor itself and it must seek the higher ground whenever and wherever possible.

In all honesty, it’s not looking good. One ugly recent development is the State of Georgia’s Voter ID Law - which will predictably harm poor voters, who tend disproportionately to be black. Could the voter qualification question of ‘How many bubbles are in a bar of soap’ be far behind?

Yep -she's firmly on the "Let the perp commit the crime - even if you have to die in the process, so the perp can have his day in court" side of things.
