Bill: Torture

Details

Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party

Status[?]: passed

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: May 2281

Description[?]:

Once again, look at who it is that is itching for the power to torture people. And before you think to yourselves "not to worry, they'll only torture the guilty ones, I'm innocent so I'm safe", allow me to say this: when, in the history of humanity, have even well-meaning police forces, police who genuinely want to protect the innocent, ever had a 100% success rate in separating the actually guilty from the actually innocent? Even if we had such a police force, we would end up torturing innocent people. But here the danger is even greater than in my example. We don't have a state comprised solely of people who care about innocents. We have a state comprised of parties like the fascists. Parties who support, for example, the use of nuclear weapons in warfare 'for any reason'. How much do nuclear weapons care about your innocence or guilt? How much will the fascist's jackbooted torturing thugs care about your innocence or guilt?
