High court bars death penalty for child rapists
The declining standards of decency that mark the devolution of a decaying justice are now on display.
Andy McCarthy wonders why the court doesn’t just come out with it:
Wouldn’t it be refreshingly honest if activist justices just bluntly [told] us: “We don’t like the death penalty and we can stop it because there are five of us.” Sure, it would be tyrannical, but at least it would be accurate, and not nearly as nauseating as what passes for reasoning in these cases.
