Hizzoner reasoned that removing such tightly fitting pants would of necessity have to be a consensual affair, which would mean that the subsequent actions were, well, a consensual affair. This brought the Lizzy Bordens of the Democrat caucus to the Assembly floor with their hatchets flailing, looking to give someone, anyone 40 whacks. I would really like to find a way to give my Judicial Paisan the benefit of the doubt. I'm confident he followed the guidelines of the American Heart Association at lunch and had un bichierri o due d'vino rosso to keep his blood pressure and cholesterol at a healthy level. Try as I might, in this instance I find myself agreeing with the female legislators.
Rape is an ugly offense against civilized society.
This ruling was outrageous. I'm sorry, but this is every bit as bizarre as thinking that tight pants make rape impossible. No, rape is no laughing matter. Neither is the rape of the Constitution committed by Roe v. Wade. Based on 25 years of abortion debate in this country, one can only assume that this would have assuaged the Legigals on the Assembly floor.
