Discussion: Kennedy v. Louisiana (UPDATE: OBAMA DISAGREES WITH DECISION, UPDATE 2: JINDAL REAX)
The decision on Kennedy v. Louisiana, a case that decided whether or not child rape was punishable by death, was announced this morning. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to blog on it (daytime blogging will continue to be light for me for the forseeable future) but now that I’ve gotten home I’ve had a chance to read what happened to that poor little 8 year old girl at the hands of a disgrace to civilized society, as well as read some of the ruling, I’m not getting at all how the majority came to its decision.
