Kansas to Washington D.C. to the Molester down your street - Remember the Texas sodomy law that the U.S. Supreme court overturned, violating states rights? Well, here is another case where that judicial imprudence is having an affect.
The U.S. Supreme court threw an appeals court ruling on a child molester back at the appeals court, ordering them to rehear the case in light of their ruling on sodomy.
Stuart Shepard reports:
"Matthew Limon was 18 when he was convicted of criminal sodomy with a 14-year-old boy. It was his third conviction — all for sex crimes involving children. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison, but the U.S. Supreme Court, pointing to its recent ruling that overturned a Texas law against sodomy, has ordered a Kansas appeals court to reconsider Limon's case."The ACLU is spearheading the effort to get Limon off the hook. Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline said this of the ACLU:
"The ACLU states specifically in its brief that it is a constitutional right for any child age 13 and older to consent to have sex with anyone."So I guess the argument is that the molesting that Limon committed was ok because he had the children's ok.
According to an AP report by John Hanna on The Topeka Capitol-Journal, one of the arguments being made by the ACLU is that Limon was unjustly given too long a sentence because if one of the kids had been a girl he would have received a year and three month sentence as opposed to 17 years. Put I'm not so sure that the law they are referring to, the "Romeo and Juliet" statute, was meant to be applied to serial sexual offenders like Limon.
There are some days that I think a revolution is necessary.
The Great Separation continues.
