Search the word "foreign" in Scalia's Dissent, he has some scathing things to say.

All but two of the current sitting Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republicans.

We need to remove the liberals.

I don't know where I stand. As long as 18 year old and under are treated differently by insurance companies, colleges, and alcohol, but are allowed to go to war as well as be targets by big lender organizations... well screw it- Until there is some kind of parody then they should be treated differently.

" The Court thus proclaims itself sole arbiter of our Nation's moral standards."Haven't read the article in it's entirety but this quote says it all for me - And not just about this particular decision.

At first I was agreeing that maybe kids who committed murder before 18 shouldn't be executed, just kept in prison for the rest of their lives. But then I was reminded Malvo was 17 year old DC serial sniper/killer.
I just wish they would come up with an age where US citizens are legal adults. 18 is old enough to sign a contract or get married to join military. 16 is old enought to drive. But you have to be 21 to buy a beer. I wish they would choose one age, say 19 or 20, and that is the age when everyone becomes a legal adult.
When my youngest had to go to court he was 18. I couldn't speak to the judge because Mike was not a minor, yet he was in court because he WAS a minor. He was with some other college kids who had been drinking a beer. One of them was headed to Iraq the next day, in the military, and they went out and had a beer and played pool. They got caught because it was November and they had the top down on the convertible, not because they were driving bad. It had been 5 1/2 hours since they had their beer.
I felt like Faye Dunnaway in "China Town". She's my sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter.... as she was slapped over and over by Jack Nicholson.
My son was an adult, not an adult, an adult, not an adult...
Etc.
I blamed myself more than him for being with those kids. I was the one who suggested that he find a ride to and from Lubbock for Thanksgiving, to save the price of an airline ticket. As it was, the ticket for MIC was four times more than a flight would have cost. And he is a good kid and not one who goes out running around and drinking. He is a quiet kid, well behaved, well most of the time.

When some 16 year old kid pulls out a gun, a knife, a coathanger and pliars, and your wife, daughter or mom are involved, you'll get religion on this subject.

Yep. Souter, Breyer, and Kennedy all were GOP appointees, and all voted to impose their moral viewpoint and obey the power of foreign popular opinion... over the deliberative acts of elected state legislatures. (Joining them were the Clinton appointees, Ginsburg and Stevens IIRC)
