Newt thinks it's cool to execute people for bringing two ounces of pot to the US.

But in that post Newt sponsored a bill that would let us execute anyone who brought two ounces or more of weed to the US so I think my conclusion was correct.

He's going to execute the people that brought him drugs.

All anyone has to do is click the link and do a little reading to see the bill in question is 17 years old, and that the full text of the bill isn't even available...only a vague summary. Note it also includes the stipulation that the requirements of Chapter 228 of US Code Title 18 must be satisfied. But yeah...it's obvious that he thinks it's cool to just off anyone with 2 oz. of weed.

Read up on the US Code Title 18 and then come back and tell me if you're not just flinging shit against the wall when you say that "Newt thinks it's cool to execute anyone who brought two ounces or more of weed to the US."

I Wear Pants;1063190 wrote:Basically just lays out the things that must be satisfied for the death penalty. If I'm not mistaken Newt would have had smuggling more than 2 oz of marijuana (and various amounts of other drugs) added to the things that make you eligible for the death penalty.

Even if it probably would not have been used except in cases where maybe the person committed other crimes the idea that it's acceptable ever to execute someone for smuggling drugs doesn't sit well with me.

fish82;1063201 wrote:There's no "probably" about it. Did you read Chapter 228 yet and the requirments set therein?

It doesn't sit well with me either. That doesn't make your original claim any less silly.

I Wear Pants;1063221 wrote:Yes I read 18 USC Chapter 228 (only posted it in that form to see if I remember how to cite that right from business law).

You're right unless the law I posted would have sought to change something about it which I don't know if it did or not. So we'll just say you're right. But if it never had a chance of actually being used why even bother with the law (perhaps that's why the committees never let it go further).

fish82;1063236 wrote:Perhaps that's the case. My point of refuting your original post was your clear intent to create the perception that if Johnny college student was busted coming in with 3 oz of weed, that Newt would strap him to Old Sparky personally.

Look, I get that the TSA blows...but if he's in front of Fish in line and holding things up with his little protest, he's getting bitchslapped as I walk by.

I will say this, I want Paul to win more than anything. I realize the odds are stacked against him. I do believe the repubs need him to win though. If he runs third party, endorses johnson, runs as johnsons vp. His followers will go wherever paul goes and Obama will win. Pauls loyalty is to the movement not the party and they will have adopt some of his ideas to keep him.
