..... does it depend upon who is being charged with the crime?
How about plain ol' killing?
1. There is no doubt that this nation is hardly the same one imagined, and created by our Founders.
a. 'A famous line in our nation's history, incorporated into the Massachusetts Constitution in 1780, says that "it may be a government of laws, and not of men." The author of this passage was John Adams,America's second president.'

b. And even earlier, the pamphleteer, Thomas Paine wrote:"in America, the law is King. For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countriesthe law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other." Common Sense, Thomas Paine.
It seems that at one time, Americans stood by the claim that the law applied equally to all. That was before Liberals and Progressives took control.
2. As is so important is these sorts of discussions, one must define terms: mur·der
a.The killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.
murder
'...manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life. '
Is there any argument...by a sentient and civilized individual....that justifies murder, the killing of another who is in no way a threat to the perpetrator?
I'd love to hear such argument before we continue.
Some on this board believe so...when I asked this: "I hope you aren't suggesting that killing another human being is your 'freedom.' this was the response: "
"It is here in America. Also, women have been aborting babies since ancient times." If God doesn't exist...
To be fair....this is killing, but,perhaps, not technically murder.
But this savage has defined abortion as killing....and with a shrug.
3. Here's how this is related to the title above:
There are no psychological exams given to individuals who run for political office....and, there are all sorts of bizarre, inane, unusual laws, statutes and regulations put forth.....some, I am certain that would make one question the sanity of the politician who advanced same.....
...but if a politician proposed a law to legalize murder, or even killing, another human being.....would said politician be guilty of the act itself?
Charged as an accessory to any murders that accrued?
Guilty of suborning murder?
