So…where’s the wolf? This idiot sheep has been effing up SCOTUS for decades. Retire and spend your senility with people who love you, knucklehead.

Do we have a misunderstanding or a disagreement. I find your message to be a tad ambiguous. My post was meant to say that if you don’t defend your country, you will have no country. Our current wolf is Islamofascism. If we try facing it through the criminal justice system, we will, I’m afraid, go down in flames. I believe that’s what you seem to be are saying too. Is that correct?

NUTS! – General Anthony McAuliffe

Heck, I almost half expect him to come out against fighting WWII at this point.

Give the ACLU a few minutes, and they will file a lawsuit to overturn the outcome of it. We’ll have to get very fluent in German and Japanese.

What?

He’s serious?

wow.

I’ll take a wild stab here,I bet Stevens was against
dropping the A-Bombs on Japan as well.

Kill the snakes head and remove all doubt.

No one has won wars by dying for his country, you win wars by making the other bastard die for his country. – Patton

At least Buzzy sleeps during hearings, but what is this boners excuse?

Consider:

Stevens told me he was troubled by the fact that Yamamoto, a highly intelligent officer who had lived in the United States and become friends with American officers, was shot down with so little apparent deliberation or humanitarian consideration.

Perhaps Stevens, if he could be caught during one of his more lucid moments, could explain what was humanitarian about shooting at civilians or non-combatants at Pearl.

The experience, he said, raised questions in his mind about the fairness of the death penalty. “I was on the desk, on watch, when I got word that they had shot down Yamamoto in the Solomon Islands, and I remember thinking: This is a particular individual they went out to intercept,” he said.

So he’s been anti-death penalty ever since? What BS.

Stevens said that, partly as a result of his World War II experience, he has tried on the court to narrow the category of offenders who are eligible for the death penalty and to ensure that it is imposed fairly and accurately.

Doesn’t this suggest he has predetermined the outcome of cases that might come before him?

At what point will the other Justices realize how senile this old coot has gotten?

There…someone had to say it.

I wonder if he would have similarly objected to a take-out of Herr Hitler sometime in 1942 or so.

Probably.

Apples and oranges, killing during acts of war cannot be equated to the execution of convicted criminals.

I, as a Maronite Catholic, am personally opposed to the death penalty. I am for dungeons and hard labor for murderers, rapist, etc. No cable TV, radio, library, weight room, nothing. Just prison. Preferably the prisons would be built on the Aleutian Islands. But, that being said, the law of the land allows our gov’t to put to death those convicted by a jury of their peers. So, that’s the way it is.
