A — all bow — federal judge has ruled that California’s death penalty is unconstitutional because the state’s “dysfunctional administration” has meted out the punishment to more than 900 murderers but imposed it on “only 13” since 1978.

Honoring Our Fathers

Despite the media play Chicago gets, it isn’t the official “Murder Capital of the U.S.A.”That unhappy distinction – based on the murder rate per 100,000 people, not on the number of actual dead people on the streets – belongs to poor, under-populated Flint, Mich.

How Obama is Turning Liberalism Into an Instrument of Coercion
