The State of Alabama executed Kenneth Eugene Smith less than a month ago

Reposted from southpaw

I wanted to point out how openly, jarringly theocratic the Alabama Chief Justice’s concurrence is.

Well, yeah. I mean, it's not like he was a frozen embryo.

ajbsaysthings.bsky.social•376 days ago

And have already scheduled the next one!

once again you're conflating the value of human lives:

ONLY THE THEORETICAL LIVES HAVE VALUE, the extant ones are trash and should be destroyed in the worst possible way because something-something bible

Let whomever with the first sin cast the biggest stone or something like that

Well you know what they say, the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth

Very Good !

Imagine how cross these Christians will be when they discover there is no life after death!

"Wrongfully" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Surely the state wouldn't use this as a loophole to justify murdering people

Can someone let Alabama know that there was a New Testament after the Old one?

milothepsychic.starbase80.net•376 days ago

Was that written by the Ayatollah?

moreorlessbunk.bsky.social•377 days ago

“Wrongfully” doing a lot of work in B that passage. You’d think given the stakes he outlines, he’d have some humility.

This is murder by law. That's putting Alabama safely on the list of countries who are theocratic.
Right besides Afghanistan and Saudi-Arabia.
And oh look. Treatment of women isn't far behind.

which god?

jeffdudaphdco.bsky.social•376 days ago

Good point. Not only is Alabama wrong, they're hypocritical.

arkancrow.bsky.social•377 days ago

At this point, it's schizophrenia...

It's not just hypocrisy.

It's a complete personality disorder.

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•377 days ago

They hypocrisy that “life can’t be destroyed” except if they want to execute someone.

Or make a woman continue a pregnancy that would kill her when the fetus won’t survive anyway,
And if she survives she may end up unable to bear any more children. You’d think that would contradict the sanctity of life thing.

These guys want nothing less than a theocracy. There was a judge in Tennessee that sua sponte changed the name of a child named Messiah because she thought there is only one Messiah, Jesus, and no one else may be called by that name.

iyam.bsky.social•375 days ago

So, judge, is that a bench or a pulpit? (It's against the law to combine them in this country.)

nooneletgo.bsky.social•377 days ago

Did I miss the repeal of the First Amendment? Does it only apply in Alabama? (Yes, I know it's "only" a concurrence, but still!)

mahkeiro.bsky.social•375 days ago

Frankly for a European this can have been written by a prosecutor in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Separation of Church and State WTF Alabama?
