Ms. Pressely,

I heard you speaking yesterday about Hillary Clinton and the death penalty.

Like all modern American Liberal aider and abettors you have a unique gift. It allows you to never let a fact, particularly those painfully inconvenient ones that are true, to interfere with your argument.

You said, I think, that she was opposed to it except in rare cases of incest and rape she was in favor of it. Further, the race of the alleged perpetrator – Why don’t we say “alleged victim”? – is what determines who gets to be a “Dead Man Walking” in the USA. It’s sort of a reverse Affirmative Action on steroids. African-Americans, people of color, make up the majority of potential executees. The only entity with a higher percentage of non-Caucasians is the NBA.

I don’t think you were old enough to have fully appreciated the marvelous irony, the morally reprehensible inversion of beliefs involved in the execution of Ricky Ray Rector.

R3 was an African-American. By all accounts he was a terrible person. There was a feral corona about him that was beyond savage. His first murder was expected. His family was surprised that it took him so long to commit it. His family convinced him to turn himself in. He said he would do it but only to a policeman that he knew. His condition was met but that didn’t prevent him from killing that officer. He then tried to kill himself but succeeded only in giving himself a lobotomy a la Rosemary Kennedy.

Here’s when the fun part begins. 

Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas where all the aforementioned happened. He also taught at the University of Arkansas School of Law. In addition he was a Rhodes Scholar.

 Hillary, his long suffering wife and the poster chick for abused and publically humiliated women of the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, was regularly included on the list of the country’s 100 best lawyers. That she was able to do that without having been able to pass the DC Bar exam and getting fired from her job as Associate Counsel on the House Nixon impeachment committee – She got caught lying – is a testament to her grit.

I mention this because one of the courses that used to be taught in law school covered the Constitution. 

Let’s treat this as a teachable moment.

James Madison wrote the big part, the one said what government could do. George Mason wrote the little part, hereinafter referred to as the Bill of Rights. It spelled out what the government could not do.

The Sixth Amendment states the accused must “be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation”.  While it would be possible to inform the elevator in the court house of the nature and cause of its mobility it would be for naught what with the elevator being incapable of hearing and/or understanding. 

Regardless of the reason why, R3 was incapable of understanding the charges against him. Since he couldn’t understand the charges it must follow that he would have been unable to assist in his defense. 

Is it possible that the Clintons missed that while in law school? 

Here’s another toughie.

The previous Amendment, the Fifth, says that no one will be “deprived of life, liberty. Or property, without due process of law”. Assuming that there was an attempt of that in the strange case of R3 he would not have been aware of it because he was incapable of independent thought. He could not know what was being said about or to him.

Jared Loughner shot and killed a Federal judge and severely wounded a sitting member of Congress. The Federal Government chose not to try him because he was in the twilight world of madness. It can be assumed that some of the prosecutors had read the Constitution.  

The Clintons, Mr. & Mrs. DeFarge, had to prove that despite being card carrying modern American Liberals they were tough on crime. If the example turned out to be Black so much the better. If the particular Black man turned out to have the IQ of an eggplant or a bowl of chest nuts and was executed as a means to an end it was just the cost of doing business. Maybe R# getting the chop was how we got the Clinton era. 

Cheap at twice the price, no?

It is said that Hillary was close by to the place of execution so she could have given him a lap dance if he protested. Although that would have been “cruel and unusual punishment” she didn’t have to as R3 went peacefully into that good night. The reason why is simple: He was not even a half-wit. At most he was a quarter-wit. 

Do you suppose he was a registered Democrat?

Speaking of Black capital punishment…

Since Roe v Wade was given an imprimatur by the Supreme Court perhaps as many as 22,000,000 Black babies have been aborted. Who knows who could have gone down the abattoir’s drain? Maybe another MLK, Jr. Maybe another Barack Obama. Maybe another Ayanna Presely. 

Why no outrage there?

PS –Speaking of Black History Month and capital punishment….Do you think it’s time for Willie Horton to get another furlough?
