"It is proper that we acknowledge the overwhelming weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty, resting in large part on the understanding that the instability and emotional imbalance of young people may often be a factor in the crime," he wrote in the 25-page opinion.

America has more liberal laws regarding abortion than all but 6 countires in the world. Of course the court has NEVER cited that in an opinion because it doesn't accrue with their view that killing them on the way out is perfectly OK. The court, and Justice Kennedy, in particular are hypocrites of the worst kind.

Off-topic, but when my parents were growing up in communist Yugoslavia during the 60's and 70's, the abortion laws were much more restrictive than what we have in the US today.

European countries today, even the extremely liberal ones, restrict abortions more than we do.

I do not even get this. Since when is OUR(the US) court suppose to be using an international treaty to base their decision?.
I thought they were suppose to use the US Constitution!
This is scary . I had no idea this is what SCOTUS has been doing.

And to beat it all the treaty listed in this decision is not ratified.

Speechless.
