Now look up the terms in Blacks Law Dictionary.


The request was for an authoritative source so an authoritative source was
provided. If you're interested in what Blacks Law Dictionary says about it
then look it up yourself.

How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even
define?



Doesn't this happen all the time? Highway speed limits? School
imperatives? Tons of stuff. I think it's just a way of cost-shifting, a
bunch of federal laws (good or bad) that must be paid for by the states.

That being said, the death penalty doesn't seem to be a very effective
deterrent anyhow.

It certainly cuts down on the number of re-offenders...


Like suicide bombers in Israel, there seems to be no shortage of new
offenders.

Not entirely true. When they threatened to wrap them in pork skins, or
threatened their families, the rate dropped perceptibly. (It's a tough world
out there in the "real" world).

Yes...if that were the case, which it isn't.


Well, which is it then? Is "murder" defined at the state level or not?

Yes.




They don't...which is why the United STATES is compriased of the various
"states" (small 's').


How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even
define?

They do define it.




You don't know what the term "state" means, what the term "murder"
means,
or
what the legal definition of "human being" means either.


Can you provide the definitions?

Black's Law Dictionary, which I already referred you to. (I'm not about to
transcribe 20 pages if you insist on using terms from your minister (?),
rather than from your lawyer).

It used to be a cliché, "Don't make a Federal case out of it...", but now
that's the rule rather than the exception (another cliché).

Not for legal definitons, it's not.

I already did. Now you need to comprehend what is an appropriate
"authoritative source" when it comes to legal terms. You also need to
understand that biology texts are not an "authoritative source" when using
philosophic terms like "autonomous" and "human being", nor when using them
in a legal context.

Only to your posts.


I've observed responses of yours to other's posts that were just as stupid
as your responses to mine.

Yes.


I thought so.

A simple "No." would have sufficed.

I don't have a minister.

He didn't ask for a legal definition.

Fetus is a medical term. You need to comprehend what is an appropriate
"authoritative source" when it comes to medical terms.

using medical terms.
