Re: SCALIA THINKS IT'S OK TO EXECUTE SOMEONE FOUND INNOCENT BY THE COURTS!!!

I agree that this is wrong EXCEPT for the obvious exception, debunkers
(and their ilk).  Perhaps it is going a little bit to far to call for
the execution of ALL debunkers (and their sympathizers, their
supporters and their enablers), but I strongly suggest that we MUST
consider the nuclear option as far as debunkers go.  We will bring
this up at the next meeting of HACA (the Human-Alien Contact Agenda!)

Folks, remember who put Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court.
It was the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who withheld
two additional female witnesses who were waiting to testify that
Thomas had sexually harassed them, thus leaving Anita Hill's
testimony uncorroborated, and Hill smeared as a liar by the
Repuglicans. �That committee chairman was none other than
Joe Biden, Obummer's running mate and our Vice President.

Wanted for Murder: Antonin Scalia

Antonin Scalia is guilty of initiating the theft of the 2000 election from
Al Gore through a stay he issued forcing the stop of the State Court ordered
recount in Florida, and his subsequent coordination a 5-4 majority to
annoint George W. Bush as President.

But as of just yesterday, August 17th, he also added state sanctioned murder
to his list of crimes.

Scalia was one of just two written dissenters (along with his puppet,
Clarence Thomas), who ferociously challenged the notion that the Supreme
Court should ensure that an innocent man not be put to death. �That's right,
Scalia -- in common sense terms and not the legal mumble jumble that he
dazzles the likes of Harry Reid with (BuzzFlash once wrote an editorial
about how Harry Reid
<http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/12/edi04089.html> �[1] thought Scalia
so brilliant he might consider voting for him for Chief Justice at the time
-- such is the sad mindset of our Democratic Majority Leader) -- asserts
that there is nothing in the Constitution that prevents an innocent person
from being executed.

No, we are not making this up. Scalia -- although he uses arcane
justifications of state vs. federal jurisdiction and that tidy trials
shouldn't be challenged -- argues that the governmental legal system is not
prohibited by the federal Constitution from killing the wrong person, in the
name of -- excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth -- "justice."

BuzzFlash will let Scalia speak for himself in his dissent
<http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Scalia-opin-D...
df> �[2]of the appeal for lower court review of the highly questionable
conviction of high profile death row inmate Troy Anthony Davis. Says Scalia
in his dissent (which also bears the name of Clarence Thomas):

The Georgia Supreme Court rejected petitioner9s 3actual-innocence2 claim on
the merits, denying his extraor-dinary motion for a new trial. Davis can
obtain relief only if that determination was contrary to, or an unreasonable
application of, 3clearly established Federal law, as determined by the
Supreme Court of the United States.2 It most assuredly was not. This Court
has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted
defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a
habeas court that he is 3actually2 innocent. Quite to the contrary, we have
repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable
doubt that any claim based on alleged 3actual innocence2 is constitutionally
cognizable.

People like Harry Reid are just so damn impressed by phrases like
"constitutionally cognizable" -- no wonder the Democrats almost always pull
defeat out of the jaws of victory in the Senate.

But back to Mr. Scalia. A legal website noted:
<http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/hearing-on-innocence-claim-ordered/> �[3]

The Supreme Court, over two Justices9 dissents, on Monday ordered a federal
judge in Georgia to consider and rule on the claim of innocence in the
murder case against Troy Anthony Davis (In re Davis, 08-1443) �The Court
told the District Court to 3receive testimony and make findings of fact as
to whether evidence that could have been obtained at the time of trial
clearly establishes [Davis'] innocence.2

In short, if attorney for Troy Anthony Davis can establish his innocence, he
should be freed not put to death. Makes sense, right? Not for Mr. Scalia (or
Mr. Thomas).

They have a lot of posh parties and social gatherings in D.C., and the
powerful ruling class exchange bon mots and try to dazzle their fellow D.C.
elites with their brainpower. �Scalia is known to impress people with his
ability to bring a legal argument to such a high clould level of wordy
claptrap that people don't know what he is talking about and mistake his
gift of hubris and pugnacious verbal bravado for genius.

But, every person must be responsible for his or her actions -- that is what
the law is all about, isn't it? -- and when it comes down to Scalia as a
man, he's just an accessory to murder wearing a black robe.

Tried by a D.C. jury, the guy would do less harm to the nation and innocent
Americans if he were put behind bars himself.
