Supreme Court ruling today...WTFFFF?!



Today the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty "unconstitutional" for child rapists! Let me repeat that, today the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty "unconstitutional" for repeated child rapists. OH WAIT THERE'S MORE...the direct ruling:

"a death sentence for one who raped but did not kill a child, and who did not intend to assist another in killing the child, is unconstitutional"


The most offensive part of this ruling is that the Court left the death penalty open to crimes involving: treason, espionage, terrorism, and drug kingpin activity. Isn't there a problem when the judicial system can choose to take the life of someone who threatens so-called national security (which many would argue is oftentimes a rule of the game when in war), but ruining an innocent child's life isn't considered that big a deal. When the ruling first became public this morning I spoke with a few friends who felt the same rage, so I have to believe I am not hyper-sensitive or crazy. Here's to hoping this November brings us a NEW DAWN!
