Another activist court ruling. It was a very bad period for the Supreme Court.

Under the law, all killing is 'homicide.'

However, only certain types of killings are 'murder.' Homicide can be justified under the law.

I am a death penalty supporter. Putting a person to death whom you are sure has committed a heinous crime is not murder, it is justifiable homicide, under our laws and constititution. I believe it should continue.
