re: #247 LudwigVanQuixote

I think we agree that the traffickers are wrong and that they should be stopped, and the penalty should be considerable. No question about that. The debate that we would have forever would over what kind of final judgment a court would make, and even what size the court would be, 3, 23, 73? (I think I have those numbers correct.) I’m just saying, when making that particular judgment, be easy on the trigger. And I understand your criteria for making that judgment—and if we were on one of those courts we might even agree on the final verdict. However, the process is paramount. I don’t think we disagree here.

Regarding the electorate—we’ll find out where the middle is, and how big the middle is come November.
