but whoos going to pay the taxe I guess we will but won't that break the people who don't have enough money to even pay for their houses?

I THink it's great idea!

With this very timely removal of shoplifting from three strikes, our Interrupted Girl may safely continue her escapades.

I wonder if this means Winona Ryder should stop her shoplifting hobby now.... heh.

Also, the decision doesn't address three-time petty felonies, which I believe are already immune from the three-strikes law. The situation at hand is people with two -violent- felonies on their record, who are subject to three strikes conviction for the third felony which is petty (e.g. shoplifting). Not quite the same thing, but still an excess which I'm pleased to see the Appealers throw out.

YM the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, not the Supremes.
