Removal would require 67 senate votes. I like where your head is at, but... I truly don't see it.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

And in return, we got dead kids and higher gas prices.

Governor Kay Ivey on Tuesday announced that she has commuted the death sentence of Charles L. Burton to life in prison with no chance of parole. Mr. Burton was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1991 capital murder of Doug Battle in Talladega, Alabama.

 

As required by law, the governor first reached out to a representative of Mr. Battle’s family. She also notified the attorney general. Governor Ivey’s letter to Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm is attached.

 

Governor Ivey issued the following statement:

 

“I firmly believe that the death penalty is just punishment for society’s most heinous offenders, as shown by the 25 executions I have presided over as governor. In order to ensure the continued viability of the death penalty, however, I also believe that a government’s most consequential action must be administered fairly and proportionately.

 

“Doug Battle was brutally murdered by Derrick DeBruce while shopping in an auto parts store. But DeBruce was ultimately sentenced to life without parole. Charles Burton did not shoot the victim, did not direct the triggerman to shoot the victim and had already left the store by the time the shooting occurred. Yet Mr. Burton was set to be executed while DeBruce was allowed to live out his life in prison.

 

“I cannot proceed in good conscience with the execution of Mr. Burton under such disparate circumstances. I believe it would be unjust for one participant in this crime to be executed while the participant who pulled the trigger was not.

 

“To be clear, Mr. Burton will not be eligible for parole and will rightfully spend the remainder of his life behind bars for his role in the robbery that led to the murder of Doug Battle. He will now receive the same punishment as the triggerman.

BREAKING: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Charles "Sonny" Burton to life in prison. Burton was sentenced to death for the 1991 murder of Doug Battle but did not kill Battle; the man who did later had his death sentence commuted.

Make people look and think about who/what they are voting for. If people are only interested in one particular candidate, for the most disengaged voters, they will fill in that candidate and leave the others blank. Would definitely have happened with Trump. Under-voting is real. This is lunacy.

The state Democratic party is such a stupid organization. It has no desire to be anything other than an exclusive club dedicated to losing. Doesn't even attempt to recruit candidates. Dozens of races without a democratic candidate on the ballot.

Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama ...

Time is running out to save the life of Sonny Burton, an Alabama man who didn’t kill anyone.

Tell Governor Ivey to commute his sentence before his scheduled execution date on March 12.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to “End Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating

“The state’s proposed “trigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

No, what I'm saying is if Doug Jones could only beat Roy Moore by 1% in a special election in Alabama, then how in the hell would you expect someone further left to win? This is where desires meet reality.

Every electorate is different. Period. And you take the best you can feasibly get.

Ok but he's also Dem who was voted into office by a 1 point margin over a fucking pedophile. You get what you get. It was still infinitely better than Roy Moore would have been and better than Tuberville currently is.

No. The reason people are believing Talarico is because the allegations seem completely out of character for him.

And the reason you are believing her is, apparently, entirely about race. So...

Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
