Supreme Court bans juvenile executions

[dazzleman]

The Supreme Court continues its recent tradition of judicial activism.

One of the most alarming things is the Supreme Court basing decisions on international consensus.  Well, personally, I don't care what the Europeans think on most issues.

I don't even necessarily favor the execution of 17 and 18 year olds, though I can't say I firmly oppose it.  I think anybody old enough to commit a heinous crime is old enough to take responsibility for it.

By pushing through ever-more liberal ideas on crime, we only create more victims, and increase the suffering of those who have already been victimized by crime.  That has been the liberal contribution to the crime issue for the past 40 years.

It appears that those in the forum that support this ruling are those who oppose the death penalty in general.  Is there anyone out there who generally supports the death penalty and thinks this ruling makes good law?

Not me.
