More Government Uselessness

The government grew a little bigger today. This time the growth spurt was an expansion of federal ‘hate crime’ laws. This new legislation (unlike President Bush, 41 making carjacking a federal crime) does not make ‘hate crimes’ death penalty eligible. HR 1913 seems to want a federal investigation into whether or not a ‘hate crime’ was committed if the victim fits a certain profile. You can’t use Racial Profiling before a crime is committed and now you have to use it after.

Couldn’t you argue that all murders are out of hate? Happy people don’t kill others. This new waste-of-paper bill doesn’t serve any purpose; life without parole is already the sentence in non-death-penalty states for first degree murder with malice. Malice is defined as ‘evil intent’ – killing someone because of their race, religion or sexual orientation is malicious.

Here’s a concept, how about letting the states govern themselves…I mean really, if the feds aren’t going to make the consequence more severe…than, what is the point?
