10. It's the RUMOR part that gets me. A freakin' rumor!

Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 11:40 PM by madmusic

The blogger assumes, I guess, that progressives would automatically be against cruel and unusual punishment, and so appeals to the libertarians/conservatives who mostly backed these laws. Because he was rumored to be a big drug dealer who used guns and evaded taxes. Not your everyday sit home and watch the tube pot smoker.

But it's the RUMORS! And judges can so enhance a sentence based on RUMORS! Not convictions, RUMORS!
