Truth? As you know JD, if you are looking for truth out of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, keep on looking. If the ruling is illogical and there seem to be glaring versions of what was presented and what was ruled upon AND the ruling benefits a defendant or a left-leaning cause, you can bet your rear it’s from the Ninth Circus, I mean Circuit. Years and years of head scratching to continue with no recourse for those life-time appointees who are so blinded by liberalism and “causes” it boggles the mind. Break out the clown make-up and pass out the red noses! A freakin’ clown show is in progress! Didn’t suffer needlessly…WOW!

Please post the names of the 9th Circuit judges who signed this perverse and deeply sick opinion. Their names please.

Old Coot,
I thought your link in response to Tom R’s comment was going to lead to a website where the complete names, photos, addresses of the justices, their daughters, their mothers etc. Pity really. I think they’ve found that sort of thing legal…

The 9th circuit is only against the death penalty for criminals.

Kevin Murphy — 11/17/2009 @ 11:26 pm – from your typing fingers to the input pathways of the Deity of your choice !

Actually, if the GOP could get the 67 Senators in 2010, as well as control of the House in 2010, as long as the person chosen as Speaker is a reasonable candidate, we could be rid of The One in 2011 …

To maximise frosting of the Dems, how can we get Speaker Palin positioned for Jan, 2011 ??? (innocent grin)

@2, @3: To the 9th circuit, needless suffering is what Belmontes might endure from the lethal injection he is sentenced to receive.

I know this will be a shocker. Judge Reinhardt is a Jimmy Carter appointee.

BTW, God only knows who Obama is appointing to these courts. The press isn’t holding them up to any kind of light, like they did Bush’s picks. I guess press vigilance is having a well-deserved rest.

liberals and socialists lie like rugs. They lied about back alley abortions to get the Roe v Wade case through the Supreme Court. They will lie about the victims of terrorism and the perpetrators of terrorism to get our country to relax its defenses. They will lie about criminal murder suspects to ignore the will of the jury in death penalty cases (just like they ignore the will of the people in the health care debate). liberals and socialists always know better than the people they supposedly serve. aren’t we blessed to have them looking out for us, cause we couldn’t live our lives without their astute back seat driving.

Somehow “justice” got confused with “revenge.” Revenge is personal. I’m disinterested but want to see vicious killers get their due.

There is nothing wrong with revenge. Three years ago, a Danish newspaper printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, instigating a violent response from sand Nazis. One would think this violent response to avenge Mohammed's honor would just bring more and more contempt for militant Islamist sand Nazis. Instead, Yale University Press refused to republish the cartoons for fear of revenge. Comedy Central censored an episode of South Park for those same reasons. Just recently, a 16-year-old girl was murdered near Wilson High School in Long Beach, a murder which police suspect was ordered by a gang. And yet, there was no violent reaction. Nobody has gone around to kill the members of the gang believed to be responsible. What happened to us? Why are we not avenging the murders of our innocents? People in other countries are willing to shed other people's blood over a cartoon, and yet we are unwilling to shed other people's blood to avenge murders? We need to emulate those Muslims who were willing to shed other people's blood for their God. No wonder people are converting to Islam! Muslims are willing to fight to defend their honor and their families, while Christians just bend over.
