going for the kill and pat fitzgerald vs. scooter & the B-team...

well, apparently it has become too difficult for the federal government to kill people through our criminal justice system...but do not fret, your representatives in congress have been hard at work on a plan to increase the success rate death penalty seekers in federal courts everywhere...not only this, but it will serve as a wonderful lesson for children everywhere who have become too lazy and complacent in their oversized meals and wastebands...if you don't succeed, and congress tells you to go right ahead, try, try again. therein lies the brilliance of this new law (which "activist" judges everywhere will inevitably turn to "legislating" it's demise from the bench), the feds will be able to indefinitely continue the sentencing portion of a death penalty trial (which is basically a second trial, even more costly then the first) over and over and over again as long as one person on that jury thinks the defendant should die for his or her sins (it is usually men...but women are making a comeback in death chambers). what a wonderful concept...let the government try as many times as it takes to get the sentence they want (which i am sure in absolutely no way conflicts with the constitution of the united states). the founders of this country must be beaming somewhere.

scooter libby...you are in trouble...and that goes for a lot of other people in the bush administration. pat fitzgerald is no pushover, nor is he some partisan hack job looking for a name for himself. this guy is no nonsense, fair, hardcore, serious prosecution coming at you with all the power of the laws you took a vow to uphold yet seem to have forgotten to read up on...this is the man that is in the process of doing what no one else has been able to do in six decades...dismantle the chicago political machine. anybody in illinois willing to take on the daley city hall has brass balls, and is not likely to be swayed by your "with us or against us" rhetoric. this kid is for real...and he may just watergate your ass...so start shredding boys, because you know you don't want the country to find out just how much of a hand cheney had in pushing us into a war that has left thousands of american families broken.

so this is freedom...they must be jokin'
