Just in case anyone is still taking SCOTUS seriously. What a clown act.

20 years ago? Sounds like this murderer's apt to die before they finally get around to executing him.

Forgive a question from a limey. What is the point of judges if they cannot pass sentence?

Why do juries, rather than judges, have to pass death sentences?

If this is a 'right', then surely it was a right before the SCOTUS suddenly 'discovered' it hidden away in the dark recess of the Constitution known as liberal-la-la-land?

Does this mean that death sentences handed down by judges before the 2002 ruling are still in force?

Pity this doesn't apply to the fellow who took it the Supreme Court. His jury sentencing is next January. I was even more mad when this even effected those who admitted to being guilty and got the death sentence. Those type of people even got another chance. No words I can use on here can describe my true feelings on this.
