Again, I'd recommend The Commonplace Second Amendment.

              All penalties shall be proportioned to the nature of the offense, the true design of all punishment being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. 97
              All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offense.  No wise legislature will affix the same punishment to the crimes of theft, forgery and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason; where the same undistinguished severity is exerted against all offenses; the people are led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagrant with as little compunction as they do those of the lightest dye:  For the same reason a multitude of sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust.  The true design of all punishment being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. 98

I just read the link.  The War on Drugs needs to be ruled to be unconstitutional.     The whole enterprise reeks of not proportional penalties.  So,.. Yeah,  FUCK YOU RICHARD NIXON.  I hope that bastard is roasting in hell. Bob is also correct, wrt 2nd amendment. Thanks Bob, for the education, man. So, Eric, do ya think Nixon should burn forever in Hell?

I imagine he's having to do some serious adjustments. Perhaps he has already reincarnated, and might be dealing with his karma. Who knows? That's probably as serious as I would go, seeing as I don't really believe in that kind of "hell." Oh well!
