I guess I agree with them.

You, like anyone else are entitled to your opinion. So are the many legislators who considered the facts surrounding the bill they passed and the governor who signed the bill into law.

What you or I consider to be bad or improper law is not necessarily unconstitutional. The strict constitutionality of the sentence is what Scotus should decide, not the squishy notion of the modern "morality" of the sentence.

True enough - a court should rule based on the law and the constitution and not on other factors.

I wouldn’t want or expect them to do anything else.

But I don’t agree with laws that treat people as children one moment and as adults the next.
