Supreme Court Thoughts...

Oh Supreme Court, how you tear my heart so...
On the one hand, the fact that you overturned the Washington DC gun ban is wonderful and, indeed, Constitutional. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
But then, on the other hand, you want to outlaw the death penalty for the most evil people in our society, child rapists? How is injection cruel and unusual?
Oh that's right, because child rape isn't murder, and murder is apparently only thing that we can kill the guilty for, and even then only sometimes. Great.
I mean, just think about it: child rape. Why can't we, as Americans, have things that are so hated that everyone will know their punishment if they do it and are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? Hell, now you can go around killing people and, depending on the state you live in, just chill for the rest of your life. This is insane.
If you rape a child, you don't need to be in our society anymore. It's as simple as that. Ironically, it's often the people who shout "rape and incest" from the mountain side regarding the dismemberment of fetuses who are against the death penalty from those who actually commit the crimes. Apparently liberals care more about the criminals than both the fetus and the rape victim.
Even better, Obama says he disagrees with the Court's decision on the death penalty for child rapists, thus making him look moderate before an election. Not that I believe him. I'm still waiting to see what McCain says, though I'm kind of scared to find out.
