My Morning Wooten

Jim Wooten on the death penalty.
We can either accept that juries reflect the will of the people and, therefore, disparities that superficially appear “arbitrary” will result. Or we can change the system.

Wow, Grift -- you sure got up early to do all that coding.

Wooten has totally gone off the deep end. This bloodlust is disgusting.

I used to drive myself nuts with his hypocracy and inconsistencies, but now I understand his philosophy. He is for whatever level of government will endorse his position. That's why he needs a state board to oversee death penalty prosecutions and the elimination of life without parole to prevent Fulton juries from not executing people he wants executed. But he wants local control of all zoning and transit decisions so no state authority starts allwoing people to take a train or a bike. He's for federal authority of everything that rests with Bush and nothing that rests with Congress.

Plus he hates animals. Seriously. The man's a freak.

You'd think someone as intellectually limited as Jim Wooten would find the appeal in the simple answer of making life in prison without possibility of parole the consistent maximum punishment for all convicted of first degree murder. If you want simplistic blanket solutions, and boy does Jim appear to like those, then there's one offered up on a silver platter. But of course if we used that approach, he wouldn't get to satisfy his bloodlust to see people fry.
