Short People Got No Reason........

Alright. We here in Nebraska woke up to the same news you did. Let me be clear: EVERYONE IN THE STATE, AND I MEAN EVERYONE EXCEPT THAT JUDGE AND THE DEFENDANT, ARE AS OUTRAGED AS YOU ARE!!!! We are not going to become a haven for short child molesters. The judge is a wack job, who, I hope gets voted out with great speed. (Can she be impeached..? Hmmmm). Anyway, we are concerned about this poor girl. It is hard enough for someone to come forward when this happens, so when we are betrayed by the poor, misguided, crazy judgment of someone who we expect to hand down justice, this just make it that much harder to do.

I understand that some spokesperson for the "WE ARE SHORT" league, or whatever, in New York applauded the judges decision saying that it was about time that people started standing up for those who are short of stature. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? If I were a short person I would be hopping mad that anyone would say such a thing in my defense. They are a protected class now? WHO PROTECTED THE CHILD? I am literally sputtering at the ignorance of some people! The only positive thing I can see coming out of this is..........No, nothing positive at all. If we pass a mandatory law saying all first time sex offenders are required to serve jail time, why then would we need the judges? Think on that. We don't need judges, we just make a new law. In our outrage this seems like the way to go, but in the long run, I don't think it is the right answer. Our countries government was set up so there would be a balance of
power. If we don't like what a judge hands down, we make a law to contradict it, and we get what we want.

I've always felt a little miffed at the fact that our founding fathers choose to set up the electoral college because they didn't trust that "we the people" could make a decision based on what was best for the country, not just who we like best. Now, I think that maybe they did have a point. We get a ballot with a bunch of names on them and we just mindlessly color in the box with our number 2 pencils. We have only ourselves to blame for this mess. We weren't informed, we cared more about who would be Govenor, then who was protecting the rights of the people of the State of Nebraska. We know that we are going to take a lot of heat for this. But it won't happen here again.
