There’s something in the water in DC more so than there usually is, because twice in one week, a leader in each house of Congress has come out and strongly insulted two current SCOTUS justices, one of them the Chief Justice.
I’m not sure if I’ll be around this morning when the USSC issues it’s ruling on the controversial landmark D.C. v. Heller gun case, so just in case I’m not, feel free to use this post to comment on it when it comes in.
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.
