This, for example, sends John Malvo (one of the beltway snipers) to life. No need now for Alabama or other states to try him for the death penalty, since he is already in prison for life.

[I'd like the justices to point out that part of the Constitution that prohibits an 18-year-old from the death penalty. This sounds like one of the European laws they are using as precedent, rather than US law.]

Damn. I wonder if the MSM is going to give a full and complete accounting of the stains on humanity which will not be 'spared' the death penalty because of SCOTUS. And, as we know from before when SCOTUS yanked the death penalty, if SCOTUS changes its mind, these folk's will not have their sentences to death restored.

Kennedy, Souter, Breyer, Stevens, Ginsburg: bastards all.
