Re: For all you liberals whining about Tookie...
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] ... polls consistently show that when asked the question, "Do you favor the death penalty for murder?", between 60 and 75% of Americans say Yes, with polling data dating back decades. As somebody else noted, the death penalty is here to stay, it is part of our culture, and it doesn't bother most of us. [/ QUOTE ] Oh, I don't know. The nubmers are about the same for abortion. The majority are pro-choice. What the majority wants doesn't matter. Public opinion can be changed. [/ QUOTE ] A prohibition on capital punishment is like gay marriage--an idea whose time will never come in America. [/ QUOTE ] I dunno...the government couldn't just seize your house before...and now we have Kelo to contend with.
