Morning Joe on death panels; the old south on Lynching

You know the constant refrain about the lack of “death panels” saying there is nothing in the bill that calls for death panels brings back memories.

It brings back memories of the South’s argument on the Jim Crow laws. There was nothing in the Jim Crow laws that called for lynching or for jury nullification if a white man was charged for lynching a black man.

It was just the logical consequence of the laws and the attitudes of the people enforcing it.
