The left indulged their obnoxious self assurance and ruined Mr. Allen. I hope he is doing well. But very early on Governor Allan set a policy that anyone having a valid exculpatory DNA case would get out of jail. That was the application of rationality in pursuit of real justice. The instant Texas case is just the opposite. Texans electeced a tent revival preacher to lead them, and justice took it on the chin. It seems that one need not be a left wing nut or a right wing nut. Just being an American seems to bring out the worse in man.
