Unbelievable
Today: "The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution forbids the execution of killers who were under 18 when they committed their crimes." The Supreme idiots have now given all violent gang members or any violent person under 18 the promise they can now kill without fear of the death penalty - just kill before you're 18.

"Justice Anthony Kennedy, who cast the swing vote and who delivered the majority opinion, said that the “overwhelming weight of international opinion” against the juvenile death penalty had helped to sway the verdict. Justice Kennedy cited Britain’s abolition of the death penalty in 1948 for those who committed crimes as minors."
Excuse me, but since when does the USA contour it's justice system based on international opinion?
But Justice Anton Scalia said that the idea that US law should conform to the laws of the rest of the world “ought to be rejected out of hand”. Good for Justice Scalia!

So now a radical 17 year old Muslim can put together a biological agent, disperse it and kill 50,000 Americans, and not worry about the death penalty. In our system he will be fed, probably be placed in a private cell, the ACLU will make sure he has TV and internet access, the chance for in-jail education - maybe even get a law degree.
Amazing, yet so sad. Hope this crap can get turned over.
