"Pardon me sir but once again I smell the stale fish of manipulation." “For states that do not require a duty to retreat, we will question their federal funding and assess their Justice Department funding and reduce it by 20 percent,” she said. She was not specific about what the change might mean for state laws.ccccccc If she said this she she has not read the debate and dicta in the 1890ies of this issue in the Supreme Court. If she had she would know that there is a difference between surrendering ones ground and a retreat. There is no proviso in common law to retreat or surrender ones ground. What she might be speaking of is a legal test that is within the common law. A legal test that I will reserve comment on until everyone has diligently read the dica of the Supreme Court rather than put words in the the Justices mouths to fit their defective interpretation of the law. She might have been misquoted. However her ignorance of the scope and complexity of the common law does not prevent her as a member of the Congress from addressing a defective law. We would hope that one would, rather than just posting her photo about with words that may or may not be hers, would contact her office. Men an women in the Untied States Congress are always open to receiving a letter that will clarify a point prior to the crafting of legislation. They unlike Alec are answerable to the public. Their political survival depends on getting things right. Therefore they have every incentive and most have every intention to do so. gopthedailydose/2013/07/24/democrat-sheila-jackson-lee-filing-bill-to-cut-funding-to-any-state-that-doesnt-change-stand-your-ground-laws-to-duty-to-retreat/
