Wonkette : NYPD Cop Peeved At Reporter Disrespectfully Covering Cops' Solemn, Funereal Disrespect

I'm presuming it's the implication that police might be a smidge racist, which, as we all know, is completely unpossible.

Funny thing. I'm pretty sure you meant to say "inequities", yet "iniquities" actually works quite well in this context.

Read the coverage of the Lockett execution again. Do you realize the number of people who think "let the punishment fit the crime" means "let the criminal suffer at least as much as the victim"? Brutal executions suit too many people just fine. Better if they're nationally televised. In sum, I get where you coming from but I fear your well-meaning strategy would backfire. Not to mention the likelihood that one of your exemplars will be INNOCENT. Besides, if "murder in the name of justice is wrong" how much more wrong is "brutal murder in the name of sanity-checking our conscience"?

Let us also conveniently forget how the Bush administration obstructed, stonewalled and otherwise thumbed its collective nose at the 911 commission. And joked about not finding the WMDs that were his justification for sending 4000+ Americans to their deaths. Also, too.

Wonkette : There Is Nothing Funny About Last Night's Botched Execution In Oklahoma

Thu, 1 May 2014 23:41:58 +0000

I urge everyone to read the linked dissent of Justice Blackmun. The next-to-last paragraph is chilling:

The Court's refusal last term to afford Leonel Torres Herrera an evidentiary hearing, despite his colorable showing of actual innocence, demonstrates just how far afield the Court has strayed from its statutorily and constitutionally imposed obligations. See Herrera v. Collins, supra. In Herrera, only a bare majority of this Court could bring itself to state forthrightly that the execution of an actually innocent person violates the Eighth Amendment. This concession was made only in the course of erecting nearly insurmountable barriers to a defendant's ability to get a hearing on a claim of actual innocence. Ibid. Certainly there will be individuals who are actually innocent who will be unable to make a better showing than what was made by Herrera without the benefit of an evidentiary hearing. [n.8] The Court is unmoved by this dilemma, however; it prefers "finality" in death sentences to reliable determinations of a capital defendant's guilt. Because I no longer can state with any confidence that this Court is able to reconcile the Eighth Amendment's competing constitutional commands, or that the federal judiciary will provide meaningful oversight to the state courts as theyexercise their authority to inflict the penalty of death, I believe that the death penalty, as currently administered, is unconstitutional.

I would much rather have.. and I will say this to anybody’s face… somebody who drank and drank too much taking care of my child than I had somebody whose lifestyle is questionable around children.

So being a drunk around kids wouldn't constitute "somebody whose lifestyle is questionable"? I has a confuse!
