"The four most liberal justices had already gone on record in 2002, calling it "shameful" to execute juvenile killers. Those four, joined by Kennedy, also agreed with Tuesday's decision: Justices John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, as expected, voted to uphold the executions. They were joined by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor."

Hopefully, Bush should have the opportunity to nominate replacements for Stevens and Ginsburg before his term is up.

I apologize to Sandra Day O'Connor. She was on the right side...though losing side, thanks to that rat Souder. That's what happens when a Republican president (Bush 41) picks a justice approved of by the Democrat liberals. There is a lesson here for #43.
