Reply #154: STILL, you're problem is with the JUSTICE SYSTEM, not the laws as written.

That post spells it out all too clearly. You keep coming back to the same issue, and I don't even think you realize it.

You rail on and on about the judges ignoring the laws, or lawyers going before "Roy Moore types." That is the point, 100%. If they can ignore the law NOW because they're bigoted assholes, why will ANOTHER law make them suddenly compassionate? Why aren't you fighting for equal justice for ALL? Why are you fighting for some sort of equity in sentencing for ALL?

You refuse to answer that. You just keep coming back to dark history and bigoted judges. But your solution doesn't seem to be to call for equity in sentencing, instead you favor a law which provides extra resources for the investigation and prosecution of one particular segment of society and you insist on calling this "equality." But it's not a gay/straight issue.

We are seeing the same things playing out with Paris Hilton and Scooter Libby. The laws are/were specific in BOTH their cases, but judges and lawyers intervened (or want to). That is an unfortunate truth in our society. You're quite naive if you think yet another silly law is going to change any of that.

Re-read your post. You only go on about the sorry-ass judges and attorneys and the court system...so therefore, give them a new law to ignore. Good strategy.
