Once again the appointed, not elected, liberal judges on the Supreme Court showed who they really care about. Was in the 8 year old girl who was the victim of rape by her step-father? Of course not! The liberal judges on the court showed everyone that they care more about the criminal than the victim, and also that they still use European law as basis to form their opinions. Gee, the last time I checked, the Supreme Court was located in Washington, DC, NOT PARIS FRANCE!!!
This was a disgusting decision and once again demonstrates that some process needs to put into place to fire some of these blockheads.
Today
The Fox WLOB actually had a radio talk show host on who was against the death penalty period.
Imagine that.
I hope Ray's listeners listened to her logic.
We all would like to kill someone who murders or rapes or kidnaps kids and physically abuses them, but society can do better.
Look how many people on death row have been freed because new evidence like DNA exonerates them.
Also, conservatives should look at how much more expensive it is than just imprisoning them for life.
Of course some beieve that if a cop arrests you , you must be guilty and to heck with any trial or appeals.
SCOTUS did the right thing in this one.

Last I looked the Magna Carta was the basis for constitutional law today
Europe is not only France, by the way. Greayt Britain ( United Kingdom) is part of it too
Pat LaMarche is a space cadet and as soon as Ted announced that she was co-hosting todays show, I switched to another program. I am totally not surprised that she is against the death penalty, another example of a bleeding heart that coddles the criminal and throws their victims under the bus. When I hear the name Pat LaMarche the word "logic" is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Just because a handful of death row inmates have been cleared due to DNA testing doesn't mean they are all innocent. I have no doubt that the vast majority are guilty of the crimes they were convicted of and are deserving of their sentence.
Great Britain is a part of Europe?? Who knew.
"Who new? "
Most Brits do.
So you are willing to hang a few innocents along with the guilty.
I guess I should not be surprised.

I heard last week that with the advent of cable and all the many "news" networks, people tune in to their station to get their own views reaffirmed as opposed to hearing new ideas. I guess that is true.
Are you for real? Or do you come up with this foolishness just to make yourself feel relevant?? Our criminal justice system has worked pretty well over the last 200 hundred years. Is it perfect - no. Are mistakes made - yes there are, sometimes with tragic circumstances. But I would rather have a system that errs on the side of justice than coddle the criminal. I challenge you to name me one country that has a criminal justice system that has never made a mistake and that has never convicted an innocent person. You can't, Because it doesn't exist. Why, in many countries an accused isn't even given the benefit of a trial, their just dragged out and executed. So, stop trashing our system.
In regards to being receptive to new ideas, I am always receptive to new ideas. However, in the case of Ms. LaMarche and her ilk, there's no such thing as a new idea, just the same recycled liberal clap trap that I've heard a million times before. So, excuse me if I choose not to hear it for the one millionth and one time. Bruce, if you find so much with our country and form of government to be disgusted with, I would suggest to you that you go live in any foreign country for a while. I guarantee you you'll gain a greater appreciation for the greatest country in history.

The other group 7 countries know they make mistakes that isone reason why they have no death penalty. because you cannot undo that mistake. They do err on the side of justice.
You forget I did live in another country Belgium,for 5 years working for DODDS.
America Love it or leave it.. I wish I had a nickle for everytime I heard that back in the 60's
This is my country too. I love it , but know we can always do better. I am not blind to our mistakes like you are.
Trying to form " a more perfect union" is one of our major goals. Our founders realized that, too bad the right can't figure out that the we are not perfect.
Happy 4th
