As if you needed another dose of meta hot-air, right? This came up in an email convo I’ve been having:

if the state were trying to kill a death row murderer, of course, and he had suffered such representation, you can imaging how the left would be howling.

but in this case, it’s just kill kill kill kill.

I don’t get their passion for killing this woman. it’s bizarre.

My response:

I think the passion comes from the desire to isolate the judges and make them impermeable and unassailable on these civil law issues. Let’s face it — if they can stay strong and kill someone because of hearsay (which they’ve now done), then there’s NO issue that isn’t fair game for state courts. And it is so easy to find a loophole in the rat’s nest of laws out there, then find a bright-boy to try it, and then convince one guy to rule in your favor. Much, much easier than it is to convince your fellow voter-citizens. And if they fail to convince, well, they just go back and file another case next week.

Imagine Soros-type money involved in this, along with unwitting actors like: the ACLU, lots of hippy-dippy law school students with time on their hands and access to the greatest law libraries in the world,
academic bozos providing “expert” opinion, &c. Maybe I’m a paranoid wingnut, or maybe it’s not obvious, but it’s plain as day to me.

And that’s where I think all these Rule-of-Law Republicans are being so short-sighted that they’re now cross-eyed. I don’t think I’m paranoid, because all you have to do is listen to the lefty rhetoric and how it changes overnight. Fifty fookin’ years of trashing states’ rights without a fare-thee-well, and just this week they discovered the joys of federalism and the notion of individual rights? Give me, and 290MM other Americans, a break. I know a bluff bet when I see one, son.

HERE’S PROOF UPDATE: Coming through with flying colors is Jim Bob Wolcott, last referenced in these pages on November 3 or thereabouts, when he asked for instructions on how to tie a noose. So he could kill himself, see? Because Bush won the election? Never mind…ancient history. To everyone’s relief, Jim Bob did not follow through, but instead sank into a deep Blue (heh) funk for a few hours. He emerged on the other side with a completely unmasked hatred of anyone owning a Bible or a gun AND a voter registration card. “There’s never going to be an easy way to adjudicate these matters, and it would be characteristic of Republicans to pack something as Lifetime-cable sounding as “Terri’s Law” with all sorts of mischief.”

He didn’t go on to say “So don’t even try to do something democratic like passing a law, you lousy Jesus-shouters! Leave my judges and my courts alone!” because he really is a very talented writer, practically the next Mencken.

NB: I completely forgot to put up the link to Steve Sailer that kicked off the email…shame on me, as it’s central to the point.

The combination of Easter Weekend, and all the bible-thumping over the Schiavo case has driven another bright boy insane. Bennett is now on the American Taliban bandwagon.

Why won’t all you Christians just go inside and stay off the teevee? There are very important issues for the adults to hash out by such deep thinking American luminaries as Sean Hannity, Joe Scarborough, and Pat Buchanan. And Chris Matthews!

It reminds me, in a way, of my mom bitching about the Apollo missions bumping her “stories.” Makes me go cross-eyed for a second.
