It is not enough that U.S. Senator David Vitter fell off his moral mountain last summer, proving himself to be one of the biggest hypocrites in Washington, but Sen. Vitter is now trying to appease the right wing of his party by asking his conservative colleagues to sign on to his resolution that would put the Senate on record as disagreeing with the Supreme Court's ruling that rejected the death penalty for those convicted of raping a child, without murder.
The fact is, however, that the Supreme Court has already asked attorneys educated on this issue to submit briefs on whether the high court should reconsider that ruling. So, in short, Vitter wants the Congress to get involved where it is not necessary nor warranted. Surely, Congress has more important things to do. The legal authorities involved will and can handle this issue very well as they have with similar situations in the past. If Mr. Vitter really cared, he should introduce legislation to actually correct the situation as he sees fit, rather than introducing legislation that just says that he disagrees. One again, it's talk, not action, for Vitter and the Republican Party.
