The new court's absurd inhumanity: To preserve procedure, an innocent man must die

[Effete Snob]

23. Bill Clinton was not a Republican

Bill Clinton signed this law, which passed the Senate 91-8. It was part of his "tough on crime" package.


In particular, this law was specifically intended to provide a hard cutoff on conviction challenges based on actual innocence.

All the court did was to affirm that this law - enacted into law by Democrats - was valid.
