CONVICTED MURDERERS ROUTINELY GET MORE FEDERAL JUDICIAL REVIEW THAN TERRI GOT

Read this transcript from the Hugh Hewitt radio show. It's a discussion between 18 year veteran federal prosecutor Andrew McCartrhy and legal blogger Orrin Kerr that was moderated by Hugh.

I agree with McCarthy's position, and I further maintain that folks (like GLENN REYNOLDS) who are opposed to the death penalty expressly because they feel that convicted murderers cannot EVER get enough "caprice & mistake free" judicial review, and yet who support the Schiavo-Schindler rulings and also believe that Terri got enough federal judicial review of her case (even though she ABSOLUTELY got LESS federal review than any convict on death row since 1976, and even though she got less federal judicial review than the Congress SPECIFICALLY INTENDED her to get) have INCOMPATIBLE positions without any philosophical consistency.

YOU READ AND YOU DECIDE.
