So, the black-robed oligarchs tie up executions for years, and even decades, and then decide that such a long process is cruel and unusual.
Personally, I think letting people like this sit on the bench is cruel and unusual punishment on We the People.
Insanity masquerading as judicial opinion! Because the appeals process has been delayed by defendants’ lawyers to save the life of those convicted and sentenced to die, making them wait that long to be executed is cruel!
Wises choices?
I suspect this is leftists opening up a new front against the US. The death penalty has always been the “twin brother” of gun liberty, and leftists do not want America to have either.
The very best way to streamline the death penalty may soon come our way, with conservatives as chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. Among things they can do:
1) Declare states to be “competent authorities” to carry out the death penalty as they see fit, without repeated intrusion into their means by death penalty opposed federal judges.
2) Move all death penalty appeals to the head of the federal court docket, so there are no longer years of delay just to hear an appeal.
3) Limit continuances during the appeal process to 1 month each for the defense, the prosecution, and at the discretion of the judge. Total 3 months.
4) Restrict when and how federal judges can overturn a death penalty, with a judicial bias to return the case to the trial court to reconsider, not with instructions to acquit.
5) Suggest to the individual states that there is much they can do as well to streamline the process, like changing the law so that a government can only commute or pardon on the recommendation of the state board of pardons and paroles. And to allow the firing squad as an alternative means of execution, as it is much harder to appeal.
Another corrupt judge writing law based on his personal political opinion. Oh how the USA needs to demote them to outhouse duty.
The black robed educated idiots created the delays to begin with. Lock up all the judges and lawyers with all the killers and murderers in a dark sealed concrete room and leave knives, bats, and all manner of sharp and lethal hand instruments in the room and let the best man survive. Than wash rinse and repeat with the next group until none are left. Or just take them out back and hang them all now.
How can it be unconstitutional? It has nothing to do with the Constitution. Just shoot the murderer and be done with it.
I know Jerry Brown has been releasing 10’s of thousands of criminals so he must be happy with this ruling.
Actually, in a perverse way, he’s right. We should have a process that limits appeals of death penalty sentences. Here in California more condemned people die in our prisons of old age that by carrying out the sentences that the original court handed down. There needs to be an expedited process lasting no more than a year where ALL appealable issues are brought up and adjudicated, and either the sentence vacated or carried out.

Looks like the judge has watched too many movies.
ooops......That probably means that Scott Peterson will rest easy....I don’t need to see the judges mail...

I spent a lot of time on death row. There are guys who have been there a lot longer than Jones. While I would like to see more of these guys executed, life on death row (is that an oxymoron?) is pure misery, so maybe there is a little justice in the world.
