C.S. Lewis on how the humanitarian theory of punishment threatens liberty

By Filings on Mon, 01/14/19
Body

“[A]s C.S. Lewis argues in this essay, the humanitarian theory of punishment deprives a person of the ‘rights of a human being.’ And when deterrence is the sole goal of the system then even the punishment of the innocent is warranted since it can have a deterrent effect.” - Acton

Cosby, Kavanaugh, and the Necessity of Evidence

By Filings on Fri, 09/28/18
Body

“Cosby’s guilt does not equate to the guilt of Kavanaugh or of other men who have ever been accused of doing something wrong. Such as in the Cosby case, there should be corroborating evidence and patterns of behavior that can show proof the accused has a disposition for committing the alleged acts.” - Armstrong Williams
