1. Ummm... the ones who steal or commit violent crimes, maybe?
I'm not for capital punishment, but am all for incarcerating people who terrorize their communities.

I suppose really big-time hard-drug dealers ought to be in the clink too, although putting people in jail for pot or for possession of small amounts of drugs seems counterproductive.



I don't personally want "the power to condemn" that's waht the jury system is supposed to be for.


The fact that the democratic party is supposed to look out for the little guy includes protecting the little guy from criminals, IMO.
