UPDATE: SUPREME COURT REJECTS THE IDEA OF DEATH FOR RAPE OF A CHILD:
WASHINGTON - Proponents and opponents of imposing the death penalty for rape of a child underwent intense questioning Wednesday from a seemingly divided Supreme Court.
The hour-long argument came in the case of inmate Patrick Kennedy, sentenced to death for raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter.
Kennedy's lawyer, Jeffrey L. Fisher, told the court the death penalty for child rape under Louisiana law violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment.

This is a short video clip that shows how the Supreme Court has become partisan during the long reign of the Republican Party. If only this depiction could be reality, our world would be a better place for us mortal human beings. But alas, it can never be, as long as we have the Limbaughs, the Coulters and the radical, religious wing of the Republican Party. Too bad, too sad!

This dramatization in part, is based on a real event. To learn more about the plight of a man accused of raping a child and is awaiting the death penalty, just google (or use your favorite search engine) Kennedy v. Louisiana and it will bring up the many links regarding this case.
(A thethinkingblue personal opinion) When Gore lost the ability to have a recount in 2000 and the Supreme Court awarded the presidency to George W Bush, I knew exactly what was going to happen within this holiest of Courts. I knew, the great headway that was made to lessen human suffering would probably be overturned and that future supreme decisions would be handled by the judges, W. Bush would get to nominate to give the conservative ideology a court majority. It seems this de ja vu I felt was right on target. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out! The republican party has for 50 years had this as their goal. But I wished the hell I knew why?

The Supreme Court has a 4-5 split on ideology, but it is not the "right" that dominates it. Ginsburg, Souter, Stevens, Kennedy, and Breyer are all left of center. Kennedy is the closest among them to being in any way moderate. Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts are in the minority. Those who want to read the Constitution as being LAW, not just suggestion, are in the minority! The Constitution is supposed to be the final word, not some arbitrary standard of "Fairness."
Anyway, this rant ran longer than I planned. Sorry about that, but it had to be said.
Boston Legal is awesome!!
