Flogging Time

The inmates are on the loose again:
An appeals court has concluded that just being an illegal alien in the United States doesn't necessarily violate the law, so a judge cannot deny probation and require a jail sentence for a convicted drug dealer who is an illegal alien.

The opinion from the Kansas Court of Appeals came in the Barton County case involving convicted drug dealer Nicholas L. Martinez.

The ruling found that while the laws of the United States make it illegal to enter the United States without authorization, being in the United States after entering illegally is "not necessarily a crime."


Judge Patrick McAnany, the smiling clueless one above, wrote the opinion, and is my first candidiate for a nationallly televised flogging.

Naw. We should just publically announce that the laws regarding homicide don't apply to him and those like him. Hunting season is now open.
