TweetI DONT AGREE...IF A 17 OR 18 YEAR OLD CAN GO TO WAR AND FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.
LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME I SAY!

TweetSupreme Court ruled 5-4 that there was a 'national concensus' that thought executing a minor is 'cruel and unusual punishment'.
To support their decision they cited: Article 37 of the United Nations Convention and a international treaty (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights). As if that is not enough they ignored the 19 states in America that allow for executions of minors.
So, essentially our supreme court is being governed by international law and mob rule but that's not really a shocker!

TweetYou know I never have undestood the law that you have to be 21 to drink rationalizing that minors are to inmature to drink. Yet everyday we have 21+ old drinkers proving acting mature and drinking does not start at any age.Originally Posted by daved150
