Opinion Times 10/22/04: The Supreme Court is the Least Discussed Campaign Issue

Harkening back to my discussion last October where I opined that the Supreme Court was the least discussed campaign issue, I don't mean to forward too much of an "I told you so" in light of the recent Court decision to deny states the right to impose the death penalty on juvenile murderers. It was a horrid decision based solely on a presumed need to conform to the standards of other countries. It was a outrage to Constitutional principles and seemingly makes extra-Constitutional analysis stare decisis necessary be performed in future cases in that and other courts.

The Greatest Generation gives us an example of the type murderer which has had their death sentence effectively commuted to life in prison here (via Michelle Malkin).

Other examples abound. Justice--after this decision--does not.
