The nation’s highest court took several hours to reach its decision, finally announcing at 11.50pm that it had declined to lift a stay on the execution of Don Davis, 54, imposed earlier in the day by the supreme court of Arkansas.

My Questions:
Is it the Bible that drives those Republicans to think they have a ‘right’ to re-Murder?

Well your definition and my definition of liberal differ – Anyway why attach yourself to MY label to poop your bigot blast? I am willing to call myself a SMELLY PIG TURD in exchange for NO DEATH PENALTY! THERE thats a nice label you are welcome to attribute to me. Forget that silly ol “liberal” label. Anyway I can only imagine all the ‘good’ your mindset contributes to the Philippines way of life….
