And the Supreme Court says we can't put this kid to death.

Well, duh, he is 7 years old. Even Scalia once said that in his opinion the VIII Amendment prohibits executing minors that are younger than 14.

As the 8th Amendment clearly states, not 16, not 15, but 14. But those activist Judges continue to add their own interpretation to the Constitution.
