Hillary Clinton Supports Death Penalty For Dylann Roof

52. I don't think that she's disinterested in one, either.

That's some not-so-subtle shade you're tossing, there.


I think she's entirely willing to let "We The People" lead on that issue.

And I think that is a sensible POV. That's a pretty essential decision, and We, The People should have OUR voices heard--not her (or anyone else's) dictates.

I don't go for that Father Knows Best shit. She is not a queen issuing decrees, any more than Obama is a king.

Some of the best decisions that the Supreme Court has made are those where the states have taken the lead. Yes, that ugly old states rights business is a two-edged sword. When a decision like DOMA falls out of favor at the state level, and state after state agrees (equality, e.g.-- with weed coming on; and repeal of prohibition, back in the day) when the Supremes finally get off their ass and rule, they usually rule in a way that accommodates the sense of the population, and it's tough as hell to overturn those laws, even when the Congress has a different idea.

We are not there yet on CU. We might get there eventually, though. Be interesting to see individual states place limits on election cash in statewide elections--that might just be the way to crack that nut.

It'll be a long haul, though.
