Supreme Slip
June 25th, 2008The United States Supreme Court has ruled that executing a man who rapes a child is unconstitutional. They believe that the “cruel and unusual” clause of the Constitution forbids such penalties because in relationship to the crime, the punishment would be disproportionate.
I agree that the punishment is disproportionate. Death is too lenient. Drawn and quartered comes closer to parity.
I agree that to put such a person out of their misery might be the best option for everyone, but to then scatter their body parts around town for everyone to see seems slightly over-doing it.
