Reply #9: She's an example of GOP Justice, which is no justice. [View All]

As you note, the forces that are trying to remove her from office are all part of the Texas Justice System, too.

Texas has the most active anti death penalty forces in the nation. This is the biggest battle ground against the death penalty in America, and we fight valiantly against it. One of my adult children is very active in the anti death penalty movement here, and attends every execution vigil in Huntsville for every execution we have. It's grueling, and we have Quakers, we have Catholic nuns, we have UUers, we have atheists, and we have garden variety politicos fighting the good fight.

I believe all arguments that attack STATES are wrong. No one says "New York killed an illegal immigrant" when the cops there beat or shoot to death some poor soul. They rightly blame the cops who did it and the department that protects them. Unfortunately, those who like to assess blame to entire states never see the error of their ways.

The truth is we have some serious bigotry here when it comes to states. Unfortunately, the rule against such broadbrushed smears is seldom followed when the target is Texas.
