JUDICIAL STUPIDITY

The whole American justice system is out of control. The wrong people are being punished. Doing good is being penalized while being a criminal is being subsidized. Most criminals are by nature lazy and foolish. The way that they support themselves is by being put in prison where they do not have to work for living, but are provided with food, shelter, and medical care. While many people cannot afford health insurance, a criminal has access to medical care which he does not have to pay a dime for. All that he has to do is get in trouble with the law and all of his needs are supplied.

Law enforcement is the only function of civil government. Taxes are to be paid to support law enforcement activities. However, the prison system is not a legitimate function of law enforcement and should be abandoned as a for of punishment. Biblical punishments are the only legitimate punishments and none of those require a prison system. When man decides to establish his own forms of punishment of criminal behavior, it will always lead to a dilemma that rewards bad behavior at the expense of law abiding citizens.

A case in point is the recent decision that federal judge Thelton Henderson made against the State of California. This judge ruled that the State of California must spend $8 billion to build seven new medical facilities for inmates. The judge was appalled by the average of an inmate a week dying from a lack of adequate medical care (as if these inmates would not have died anyway). California has a $15.2 billion budget deficit to deal with and this judge is seeking to add to that deficit for medical care for law breakers.

This is foolishness and the epitome of insanity on the part of this federal judge. He just wants to push his weight around because he thinks that he can. He wants to ensure that those who have broken the law get what many normal citizens cannot get, medical care. There is no consideration of how these facilities are going to be paid for. The State of California has two options increase taxes or borrow the money which is in effect raising taxes.

Inmates are considered slaves. They are state property and since they are wards of the state, the state must take care of their physical needs. The state has become these inmate’s parents. When the people of California go to work, they will be going to work to provide for these inmates needs. Those law abiding citizens situation, concerning their ability to provide for their own families, does not enter into the equation. Only the needs of the criminal is being considered by this federal judge.

Something is awfully wrong with this situation in California. Those in California are getting what they deserve. They have rejected God’s law and His punishments and they are therefore left with the prison system and providing medical care for lawbreakers. This is the system that the people wanted and are getting because they will not have God to reign over them. It would be nice to see the people of California protest this judge’s ruling. Their silence is nothing more than consent.
