You are correct CID. To interpret it any other way is to try to mould it to mean what they want it to say. This is what Scalia was talking about. Scalia clearly meant that the constitution did not weigh in on the death penalty. Therefore it is the perview of the state or the people.

..so this is to say that with due process of law, then one could be deprived of life, liberty, and property?

Those of you here who are in awe of Scalia's "strict constructionism" need to realize that this dissent ignores our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

The Constitution weighs in quite clearly on the RKBA's.

Thomas & Scalia ignored that fact, and 'moulded' their dissent for political effect.

I agree... the left won't like the lack of the "living" Constitution. Can you believe they have names for this stuff now?
