So...a 5 year old recently killed his 3 year old sister here. Are you going to strap a crying 5 year old to the gurny and push the meds that will kill him? I for one have a major, major problem with that.Wow. I'm not sure I've heard about that case. (By the way, Texas law currently cuts it off at age 16 I believe, and I can live with that. It is our law. I can't see a 5 year old being sent to the death chamber).
Did you see Scalia's written dissent? Rehnquist and Thomas signed onto it. The 5-4 decision throwing out the juvenile death penalty went AGAINST the Supreme Court's own decision 15 years ago apparently. AND Scalia also noted that he was AGAINST the trend of SCOTUS to look to FOREIGN laws and influence to come to their decisions. That he wrote that in the dissent is very revealing and I totally agree with him. I have NO tolerance for these idiots ignoring U.S. law and rulings and looking to Germany, France, etc. for guidance for U.S. lawmaking decisions. That is pure BS!!
Hey Meek...see my #417...I pointed out that anyone under 16 cannot be executed due to a 1988 ruling.
