Kudos to Representative Rule, for having a conscience -- a rare thing in the Democrat Party.

I doubt that this will do her political career any favors, though, unless she switches parties.

What's a few more deaths for a failed policy?

A Washington State Patrol trooper first spotted a man accused of killing two children in a drunken driving crash speeding an hour before.

But the trooper couldn't stop Keith A. Goings because of a state law that restricts police pursuits, a State Patrol spokesman said.

"Under current legislative law, (speeding) does not give us enough probable cause to start a pursuit," Trooper Chris Thorson said Wednesday.

Goings, 20, of Springfield, Mo., was first spotted driving east on Interstate 90 at 111 mph a mile east of the Thorp exit after 6:35 p.m., Thorson said.

Because Goings was only speeding, troopers could not engage in a pursuit, Thorson said.

Roughly an hour later, Goings apparently got back on Interstate 82 near Sunnyside heading east in the westbound lane, Thorson said, and his 2007 Ford Mustang collided with a 2012 Nissan Altima that was heading east, according to a State Patrol news release. Two children in the Altima, ages 6 and 8, were killed.

Libs deny there is a correlation. It's laughable.

Like a light switch.

OK, the WSP needs to change their language. "Yes Sarg., I wasn't in pursuit... I was just following him."
