Stop being a hack. Can't you even agree that it is unjust to send a 17 year old to 10 years in prison for a blow job?
Again let us hope that the furor and readily apparent common sense appeal to justice registers with Gov. Purdue and that a pardon is forthcoming shortly.Hack, heal thyself.Petition for Genarlow Wilson

Apparently the Georgia Supreme Court disagrees, and I would wager they know and understand their constitution better than anyone on this board.Originally posted by Oerdin
That's garbage and it violates the equal protection clause.Comment

The Constitution in question isn't Georgia's but is the Federal Constitution. There are already contradictory rulings (California says it does violate equal protection, Georgia says it doesn't) so it looks like the SCotUS will have to sort it out.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

LotM, can you see why a bright line leads to injustice? We need the flexibility of rebuttable presumptions instead; with the court being the final arbitor of justice through flexible sentencing.

My original slam wasn't on the Georgia Supreme Court but instead was on the people who passed such a monster of a law.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
[q=Ogie Oglethorpe]Yet the OP finds a way to slam GOP's as intolerant Bible thumping sexual prudes. The fact that the judicial system had no recourse but to interpret the law as written is immaterial when one simply has a burning Ahab like desire to slam GOP and by extension GOP stronghold states.[/q]
In addition, while Georgia Supreme Court elections are non partisan, it is quite obvious which side the candidates are on, and the one who gave the opinion here is well known to be a (wait for it) Democrat.
So it is even more interesting to slam the GOP for this.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I dispise anyone who would pass such a law as well as the law makers over the years who haven't changed the law to prevent this from happening.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I know of situations (custody cases) where kidnapping is ethically justified. and then there was the time i ran a stop sign, and there was no one else around, and it was perfectly safe, and i was in a hurry and .....Originally posted by Ned

How about we just drop things like laws against theft, murder, kidnapping, speeding, etc, and we just ask that everyone behave ethically, and then you make the court the final arbitor of justice?
People need bright lines, cause they kinda need to know what theyre liable for. Now you can combine a line with some exceptions, or whatever, but you still need the line."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Law makers usually don't fix something until it has been shown to be broken. And then usually very slowly. The speed at which this new legislation passed was actually a credit to the current state legislature for nonpartisan cooperation.Originally posted by Oerdin

BTW: I just looked up the California statute on statutory rape. It's Penal Code § 261.5.Originally posted by Oerdin
The Constitution in question isn't Georgia's but is the Federal Constitution. There are already contradictory rulings (California says it does violate equal protection, Georgia says it doesn't) so it looks like the SCotUS will have to sort it out.
If the person who has sexual intercourse with a minor is 21 or over, it's a felony. If he's less than 3 years older, it's a misdemeanor. And if he's more than 3 years old but not yet 21, it's wobbler; it could be a felony or it could be a misdemeanor.Comment
