Thanks for answering my death penalty question. Now here's the follow up question?

Question

If you believe that the appeals process should be limited or eradicated, especially since it costs tax payers so much, should the government accept the NSA wiretapping judgment that was handed down, or should they get to appeal over and over again? Just seeing how many of you will put your money where your mouth is...

Splatt, criminals have a right to either judge or jury, and they get to pick.

Answer 1

Good question Heidi! I do believe that the appeals process needs some reform, however, as noted earlier, I am an opponant of the death penalty. The wiretapping SCANDAL should go strait to the Supreme Court, and be permitted to skip part of the process because of it's threat, by our own Government, to the national interest. Bing a Conservative court they should uphold or refuse to hear the argument. The process is created by the checks and balances of the Constitution, and the SCANDAL is in direct opposition to the rights provided to the American People by said Constitution.

Answer 2

The problem is we have this thing called "The Constitution" and the writers insisted that everybody in government take an oath to uphold it and defend it. And it says that we, the citizens, among other rights have the right to not have our personal communications spied upon by Big Government unless Big Government has gotten a court order based on probable cause to believe that an actual crime is being committed. For now, in the ruling you spoke about, Big Government will have to again go back to the courts to prove that they have probable cause in order to investigate someone's private communications. However, the people obviously do not like the Constitution. They want tough law and order judges who will function just like Hitler's or Stalin's judges--no mercy, no moderation, just cruel vicious punishment. So it is just a matter of time until the Republicans have appointed enough bloodthirsty hang em high judges to the bench to interpret the Constitution out of existence. Oh what a glorious day that will be.

Answer 3

I could go on and on about this.. but I will keep it short. I believe in the death penalty, however, I also believe that there should be 3 chances at an appeal. That way, we are sure when we put you to death, that you are the one who committed the crime. I am so tired of people sitting on death row for 40 years, and have confessed, this is money out of my pocket, that could be going to something like.. schools.

Answer 4

There is a difference between the decision of a jury and that of a single federal judge.

In case you didn't notice, Constitutional questions often get overturned several times until the SCOTUS gets the last say. And even then they get changed.

Would you still like to live under 'Dredd Scott' or 'Plessy'?

Answer 5

Well,until wet get some honest people in positions of power,no one is safe from false accusations.So what do you do?You take care of the things you can handle,and make a big noise about things you can't.If you don't then you are a watcher not a doer.

Answer 6

Appeals are in place to correct errors. Once that is done, any further delaying is a waste.

Answer 7

I never put my money in my mouth. Who knows where this one dollar bill in my wallet has been?
