CLEMENCY: WARNER PASSES 1000th U.S. EXECUTION ...

... to some other Governor like a hot potato.
Gov. Mark WarnerTomorrow, a Virginia death row inmate [was] scheduled to become the 1,0000th person executed since the Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume 30 years ago. Governor Mark Warner granted Robin Lovitt clemency on the grounds that a court clerk destroyed much of the evidence in the case. Lovitt's lawyers say that prevented DNA testing that could exonerate him.

Warner has never granted clemency in the four years he's been in office. But he tells a Washington, D.C., radio station (WTOP) that no previous case has been more troubling.
That's not all it was; Jeb Babbin, standing in for Hugh Hewitt this afternoon, suggested Warner passed the buck because of the stigma attached to ending the life of this MSM set arbitrary threshold of one thousand executions.
Virginia's governor says he's never spent more time thinking or praying about a death penalty case.
Someone call the ACLU-ites; we need a judge to stop this clemency on church and state grounds. We can't have a govenor of state of this Union praying about his clemency decisions ... or any other decisions.

Who's heard of such a thing? Let's get in court and sue for a reversal ... Lordy, we can't have this stuff going on in a state house ... prayer? Gag, hack, cough, retch!

THIS GUY HAS GOTTA DIE, OR OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT WILL BE SHAKEN TO ITS CORE.
