Term limits and being subject to re-elction is the only real solution to this very, very frightening problem. These people are SERIOUSLY out of control. I would have said impossible in my lifetime, but with everything that happened with the old Evil Empire and now the Middle East, you never know. Those who live in states with Republican Senators (I'm in California) need to REALLY put the heat on.
This decision NEEDS to be overturned, pronto. The Malvo case was the first thing I thought of when this lunacy was foisted on us. Muslims DO NOT, for what seems to be the millionth time, DO NOT consider boys over 13 to be children.
This opens the door to a whole group of 14 year old adults doing jihad with no fear of real retribution from the country they're jihading against, courtesy the highest court of the country they wish to destroy. Imagine thousands of Lee Malvos or Johnny Jihads, American citizens and imports.
And don't get me started on regular gang bangers. A 16 year old from Philly traveled all the way to VA to murder the wife of a friend as his rite of passage to become a gang banger. The murder took place right next door to my house. I had gone to the grocery store and was only gone a little while. It happened while I was gone. I've always felt a bit of irrational guilt for being gone.
She was a Lebonese Christian, a college professor and well loved by her students and the community and she's dead because a juvie needed to make his first kill and not get caught. That's why he traveled all the way to VA instead of murdering some housewife in Philly, butr he got caught anyway. Nothing will bring her back, but HE will be back to murder anotehr day. As an adult. Society will pay twice over for each of these cases
These are the types of "kids" the Supreme Court is protecting.
