State House Representative Bill Jones (R-Bigfork) said a mouthful. The House Judiciary Committee has tabled a bill, passed by the Senate, that would abolish Montana's death penance penalty. Jones, in committee, voted to carry the bill forward. But it isn't just this bill he spoke of when he said these wise words:
"There's more liability for those who obstruct the legislative process than those who vote their conscience," Jones said.
I send an open plea to the failure that is the State House of Representatives: More of that, please.
(For the record, I weakly support the death penalty. That support is fading.)
