Comment: This rumor is called "The Rainbow Law" and
I cannot find a source from which the name came. The rumor is this: "That a past president signed an executive order that in case of national emergency (as serious as if Habeous Corpus were suspended)that US Federal Bureau of Prisons is authorized to execute prisoners rather than risk the chance they might escape or waste the resources." Now, before you laugh... There are a few hundred thousand inmates in state and federal prisons around the country that believe such a law/order exists. I have tried to find the rotten source for this rumor and cannot find it.. I can only tell you that it is firmly entrenched, even to the point that a decent percentage of the guards believe it. |

If such a law exists (and my gut says not hardly), it wouldn't be called the "Rainbow Law."

It's true - the Rainbow Law allows prison Governors to use the death penalty as they see fit in states of emergency. The Happy Puppy Law gives local police chiefs the right to use deadly force in the case of civil unrest, and the Sparkle Unicorn Magical Best Friends Law states that regional military commanders can impose martial law if they fear the civil authorities are unable to cope with any situation.

Just don't ask too much about the Smurfullicious Law... they may use it on you.

Shhhh! That's supposed to be a secret! Now, you will be punished according to the Furry Pillow Cuddle Pony Chocolate Sundae law.

[They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair] Ximinez [with a cruel leer]: Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. [aside, to Biggles] Is that really all it is? " |

Hang on. This can't be correct. My daughter is naming secret US laws... and she hasn't even been to the US. How does that work? Was there a write-in competition?

Obviously it's called the Rainbow Law because they're executed by colour. It was going to be called the "Jesus Loves the Little Children" law but that was felt to be too much of a procedural give-away.

I always heard it like this:
"Red and yellow, pink and green, Purple and orange and blue..." |

At my school, orange and purple were the other way around.

The rainbow law has nothing to do with prisons. It raised the limits of how much pollutant can be in our drinking water.
