If you don't like guessing, you can find Rep. Fagan's party listed here. Don Surber, who named this variety of media bias, has a large collection of 'name that party' examples here . Glenn Reynolds' has more examples here.The Great and General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is considering passing a "Jessica's law." Named after 12-year-old Jessica Lunsford, who was raped and murdered by a repeat sex offender, the proposed law would require a mandatory 20-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of raping a child under 12.
The Boston Herald reports that Rep. James Fagan is a critic of the legislation:
Fagan, a defense attorney, infuriated victims' rights advocates during a recent House debate when he said he would "rip apart" 6-year-old victims on the witness stand and "make sure the rest of their life is ruined."In a fiery soliloquy on the House floor, Fagan said he'd grill victims so that, "when they're 8 years old they throw up; when they're 12 years old, they won't sleep; when they're 19 years old, they'll have nightmares and they'll never have a relationship with anybody."Fagan did not return calls seeking comment.What political party does Fagan belong to? The Herald doesn't say, but we'll give you three guesses.
