I think he is genuinely a state's righter -- and so am I.
Now we're looking at what we really started on 30 years ago, reconstruction of a court system gone awry.
We visit prisoners on death row, and some of them are saved, but we believe their sentences should be carried out because they have a debt to society
I believe with all my heart that the Bible is the infallible word of God.
