On the floor just now, Chuck Schumer again accused Bill Pryor of "defending Alabama's law which has inmates stand handcuffed to a hitching post for seven hours in the hot Alabama sun with not a drop to drink." That's just false. Flat-out, totally, outrageously false. I outlined why it's false in this NRO piece two years ago. In fact, the prisoner was handcuffed ONLY if he refused to WORK in the hot sun. Handcuffed, staying still, is LESS of a physical labor thanthe alternative. Not only that, but the handcuffed inmates EXPLICITLY have the right to water. Etc. Schumer just lied.
