Ärende: World Court "Orders" Hal
================================
Hello Roy,

>RW>"When non-enforcement of our immigration laws is condoned at the
>RW>highest levels of government and the President of the United States
>RW>cowtows to organizations like the World Court, it says to the world
>RW>that we're apathetic.

>RW>But we're NOT apathetic here in Texas and it's my fervent hope that
>RW>our signal is heard round the world on August 5th: Don't come here
>RW>and hurt our children. No matter how long it takes, you will be
>RW>punished because we will not forget!" - Female Blogger, Attila the
>RW>Hen.

>LL>While it is true the US Supreme Court has ruled it unconstitutional
>LL>to put child rapists to death,

RW>No they didn't. "where the crime did not result, and was not intended to
RW>result, in the victim's death."

IOW, child rapists cannot be put to death.
Murderers can, but not child rapists.
Except for the military, which reserves
the right to execute child rapists among
their ranks.

RW>Which means that the state would have to prove the rapist's intent to
RW>kill as a part of the crime.

IOW, child rapists cannot be put to death.
Murderers can, but not child rapists.

RW>Even your own state of Louisiana has set out the death penalty for
RW>child rapists.

That is the law the US Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional.
IOW, child rapists cannot be put to death.
Murderers can, but not child rapists.

RW>Yet, the circumstances of the crime could also mean a 25 year prison
RW>term.

Child rapists can be sentenced to life in prison without benefit
of parole.  But not death, due to the ruling of the USSC.

>LL>it is still okay for the military to execute child rapists among
>LL>their ranks.

RW>The military is often times more lenient with crimes committed by
RW>one of thier ranks than the civilian courts,

It remains constitutional for the military to execute child rapists.

RW>especially those in some foriegn countrys.

It makes no difference if the child rapist is, or where the act
occurred.  The military has the right to execute child rapists.
But the states do not.

RW>That's why the military tries to get them off to be tried in a
RW>military tribunal instead.

Far easier to have the child rapist condemned by courts martial
and then shot by firing squad rather than wait years and years for
a trial in civilian courts to take place.

RW>AFAIK, there is no death penalty except for desertion in the
RW>military.

ROTFL!  So much for treason, espionage, murder, etc.
