Some idiot judge in Virginia declared the federal deathpenalty unconstitutional. Are they just TRYING to screw over the Democrats in the November elections? I know that most people are executed on state laws but STILL. This is the kind of thing that has a lot of significance with a lot of moderate voters who like the death penalty and dont want to see some stupid bleeding heart judge legislate it away through the courts. Thats the kind of thing they do in Europe cause people over there wish they had it but the I-know-better-than-you jerkoffs don't believe in letting people have any say in punishing criminals. That's not how things work over here.

So now when some senate candidate wants to take Bush to task on his anti-choice judge picks, his opponent can just say that the death penalty is likely to be overturned before Roe v. Wade is and the whole issue becomes neutralized. That and the economy are the only weapons the senate really have and stupid dumbass judges like that one and the one in California seem determined to prove that the Democrats pick dimwits just like the Republicans.

ARGH!
