I understand that visceral reaction; however, to stand in for our 
inexplicably AWOL legal eagle Justin ("andie n."), I have to say I'm a 
little distressed at the casual disregard for the rule of law here. 
--Just as you feel justified if a Mafia guy clips a rapist, an 
anti-abortion nut is going to feel justified if the Mafia guy clips an 
abortion doctor.  Are you sure you wanna go there?  Or are you reserving 
the right to ignore the rule of law for people who are disgusted by the 
same things you are?
