Back in the days when we followed the US Constitution crimes that allowed death as a penalty were reserved to the STATES! I like this ruling. My heartfelt hope is that someday the courts really look to the US Constitution as written, as the way things are supposed to be.

Me too. And say where does Rakoff draw the conclusion innocent people were sentenced to serve on Federal Death Row? Sounds like he's following the abolitionist agenda instead of the law. IMPEACH RAKOFF TODAY!!!

Been a lot of evidence of prosecuters railroading some perps just to get a case off the books and look good, and they are not criminally liabile for such actions. Maybe we should take a look at that issue also. Prosecuters need a certain amount of protection, but in many instances they have clearly crossed the line.
