Another 5-4 decision, proving once again we have a bare minimum of four completely clueless anti American knotheads in the Supremes and as a friend or two of mine have pointed out :

The fact that five [5] Americans—5 unelected, unaccountable individuals—have this much power over 300,000,000 Americans I find deeply disturbing.

This takes years and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Which is the biggest problem. Change this one point, and you’ll see an amazing fast tracking of murderers and rapists which would actually make the death penalty a deterrent again.

TL,We know the old argument. We aren’t stupid. If I had a nickel for every time we were “informed” that the cost of appeals and junk cost more for someone to be put to death than if we kept them alive and in jail I’d be RICH!

You second paragraph shows you aren’t for the rule of law… what do you know coming from a “lawyer”.

If what you want is the practical effect of a child rapist being killed, this isn’t the best or cheapest way to do it. Death sentences have mandatory appeals at public expense, followed by mandatory habeas corpus appeals. This takes years and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Wouldn’t it be faster and cheaper to give the defendant a life sentence and then deny the defense’s motion to suppress information about the nature of the defendant’s conviction? The conviction is a matter of public record, after all. Word will get out in prison soon enough about why he’s in there, and the other prisoners will take care of the problem for you.
