Ahem.

"A 34-year-old Italian man who had sex with a 13-year-old girl has had
his sentence cut by a two-thirds because a court decided there was
"real love" between the pair...blah, blah.....

You want to give us something like a clue as to who this is addressed to,
why, and what it concerns?

who, personally, thinks it's probably a cry for help or something.

who sometimes wonders whether the increasing ease with which one can expose
them is due entirely to practice or, on the other hand, we are simply not
getting the quality of idiot that we could once rely on.

Does it override state jurisdiction?

"A 34-year-old Italian man who had sex with a 13-year-old girl has had
his sentence cut by a two-thirds because a court decided there was
"real love" between the pair.

Antonio de Pascale, a butcher from Vicenza, admitted that he had a
four-month long relationship with the girl, who sent him a stream of
torrid text messages on his mobile phone.

His lawyers argued, however, that there was a "deep tenderness"
between him and the girl and that he had "fallen head over heels in
love" after a sexual encounter in his car. They said the girl had
consented to every action.

The court in Vicenza accepted their opinion and sentenced de Pascale
to only one year and four months in jail out of a possible 12-year
term.

Because of a general amnesty for anyone who receives a sentence of
less than three years, de Pascale is unlikely to serve any prison time
for his Lolita-esque romance.

Antonio Marziale, the president of the Association for the Protection
of the Rights of Minors, said the decision was "execrable".

He said: "It is not right to judge whether or not a 13-year-old girl
is willing. The law should safeguard young girls who are too immature
to make these decisions against adults without scruples."

However, Simonetta Matone, a judge in Rome, said the law must "always
look to be reasonable in these cases".

She added: "Every relationship is a relationship and the real
maturity, whether physical or psychological, of the minor must be
weighed, with the help of experts."

The court decision has unleashed a wave of condemnation in Italy, and
even authors of teen novels stepped forward to caution their readers
against early sexual encounters.

Federico Moccia, the author of Excuse Me But I Love You, said: "This
seems a very strange situation to me. Obviously in a relationship
between a child and an adult, the adult has to stop himself. A girl
has to be able to value the situation, and a girl this young is
certainly not capable. My appeal to 13-year-olds is to wait for your
time."



uh...straw woman...g remember, principled decision-making. one
idiot doesn't establish an axiom.

Yes.

By what authority?

From Article VI of the United States Constitution:

"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in
pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and
the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the
Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

who, though he never envisioned himself as a teacher of constitutional law,
finds the task rather less daunting than he supposed.

So state and federal regulations are illegal?

A strict constructionist would have to be an idiot to suppose otherwise.
Which is to say that strict constructionists are idiots.

Meanwhile, we can continue to play this game for as long as you care
to.....and that's just fine with me.

Or, you could grow up. Personally I find this the less attractive
alternative as it will deprive me of a plaything. Not that this will
produce any hardship for me.......I just like variety.

It's true that Ernie and wayno are old enough to be dynasties unto
themselves but, to the best of my knowledge, they are not closely related.
