They're deciding this on a MORAL basis, not LEGAL or CONSTITUTIONAL law.

Some probably are, I won't argue that.

But they found a basis for their decision in the constitution.

If they erred, it was to mandate what the States can do. They have a bad habit of doing that. But in this case the Constitutional intent is pretty clear.

As to morality..........That is a real joke.

I see many of the same people who are viciously arguing to save Terry Shiavo, yet don't bat a eye when it come to executing a criminal that committed a crime as a juvenile.

It is one on societies little moral relativism jokes, that these days I find to be not very amusing.

So you can not make the distinction between a convicted killer receiving the punishment of death and wanting the innocent to live???

I'm one. Got a problem with that?

Some of us believe in saving the innocent and killing those who are guilty of capital crimes.

That has been the prevailing view in our civilization for ages, and it is still the right one. Do you disagree?

Have you ever had one of your closest family members taken from you by a murderer?

Ummmm ... Terri Shiavo didn't commit a murder

Did Terri murder someone that she should be executed? I wasn't aware that she had, please inform us.

She is not in a coma and she is not a vegetable, so why do find it odd to support her life considering that she did NOT leave a living will stating that she would rather die and her families wishes to care for her, eve nthough her adultering husband keeps trying to have her legally murdered.

You seem to miss the point about the taking of an innocent life vs. taking the life of a guilty murderer.

"I see many of the same people who are viciously arguing to save Terry Shiavo, yet don't bat a eye when it come to executing a criminal that committed a crime as a juvenile."

How many people has Terry Schiavo murdered?

Obviously, the two situations are not comparable.

"But they found a basis for their decision in the constitution."

What was that basis? Do you know? Just because the SC decides something doesn't mean they actually have a constitutional basis for it. Or have you been keeping your head in the sand the last 35 years or so?
