How does it make you feel that the liberals on the Supreme Court have eased the consciences of...?

Question

child rapists by stating that the rape of a child is not punishable by death?

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110ap_child_rape_states_react.html

What's with the liberal assault on children anyway? First it's OK to slaughter them in the womb and now it's not a capital offense to rape them after they've been allowed to be born!

Answer 1

One of the Justices said that the death penalty was not  "proportionate punishment" for a crime where no death occurred.  Maybe this particular Justice would be on board for having the subject raped repeatedly while in prison.  Wouldn't that be "proportionate punishment?"

Answer 2

Remeber God says "Woe to anyone who brings harm to

one of My little ones.....!"   And that does not mean just the person who does this hidious crime...it means ANYONE!

These so called judges who sit on the Supreme Court think

they are Kingsh*t right now....but it will be a fine time when they stand before The Supreme Judge of the Ages!   I only

hope I am found worthy before this Judge to witness the outcome!

Answer 3

It makes me seething ly acrimonious!  How can they whittle away just one more thing from the Constitution by saying this is not a capital offense?

A rape of a child, boy or girl changes that beautiful innocent child forever.  They in essence have taken that childs life away from them.  They NEVER get over it.  

This lives with the child to their grave with many emotional and physical problems as well. Maybe it would help the child to know the perpetrator is dead, even though some do not believe it would dissuade other deviants.  I would think the death penalty might change the minds of some when it came to raping a child.

No matter what the court says, there are many in prisons who will take care of these guys!

Leave it to a Liberal to interpret the Constitution this way.

Answer 4

The biggest assault here is on the 10th Amendment. This SCOTUS has continued to trash states' rights with apparently no regard for the 10th Amendment.  Reagan must be turning in his grave for picking Kennedy.

Answer 5

It hasn't happened to them yet', or their children or any child close to them.  They care nothing about life. They have no understanding of the horrors these children go through or the impact on the rest of their lives.

I am disgusted, disappointed, and disheartened  that they can sit in their little 'Ivory Towers'  and make a decision that is so far out of touch with reality. They should be made to sit with these small victims for hours and listen to their stories of pain, anger and fear. We are the guardians of our future and our future lies with the children.

Actually the death penalty is letting these criminals off easy, but we should not have to be  caretakers for them for  the rest of their miserable lives. Why should we have to provide, housing, clothing and food for them? WE shouldn't.

Answer 6

I'd say that one person put to death for a crime other than murder in over 40 years qualifies it as cruel and unusual. Sorry if reality doesn't coincide with your wishes, but no matter how heinous the crime, unless you actually kill someone, then you don't get the death penalty. Why is that so hard for civilized people to understand? Nobody is suggesting that these monsters not be severely punished, just that killing them is a step too far.

Answer 7

They are all senile.  There needs to be a mandatory retirement age for those judges.  I don't see why they get to stay there until they die.

Answer 8

It would ease my conscience considerably if the liberal Supreme Court would once and for all, forever more, ban any application of capital punishment, state or federal. As a society we are demeaned and shamed every time we execute another person. There is no one in the world who is, in any way,  sympathetic to child rapists or murderers. But many believe that a society as enlightened as ours, which has the capacity to lock such offenders up for the duration of their natural lives, has neither the need nor moral prerogative to be executing anyone for anything. In my point of view there is no such thing as a capital crime. America, one of the last civilized places on earth to still employ this neanderthal practice, should be above it. I consider capital punishment to be a National disgrace and international embarrassment!

Now, I know what kind of response this will get, after all, that's why you asked the question, but what the h**l, I can always go tinker with my web site.

Answer 9

they are a bunch of idiots, In my book, they rape they should be put down!

Answer 10

We have some very liberal judges who want to be legislatures. If the death penalty has been deemed constitutional, I don't see where they get off deciding when it can be used. Thant is a legislative matter not judicial. TAT

Answer 11

From the root the tree grows, as the saying is.  And Margret Sanger is the Root of the Whole satanic child killing orgy that we are witnessing in the West.  She was was a part of the 'scientific' eugenics programs that were in fact implemented in the United States in the 1910-30's.  And there is is.

Answer 12

From the article:

"There has not been an execution in the United States for a crime that did not also involve the death of the victim in 44 years, a factor that weighed in Kennedy's decision."

I don't like the fact that henious crimes in which the victim survives cannot be punished with the death penalty. I think this is not a situation where the punishment does not fit the crime.

I don't like it.

I don't like much about the SCOTUS lately.

Answer 13

The liberals are now a minority on the court. The conservatives made this decision. Did it ever occur to you that they might know more about the constitution than you do.

Answer 14

No one in the U.S. has been executed for child rape in more than 50 years, so it has no practical effect.

Also, it's unclear that the death penalty has ever deterred anyone from committing a crime.  Believe it or not, violent criminals - especially child rapists, I'm guessing - do not rationally weigh the future consequences of their actions when deciding whether or not to commit a crime.

It's not about liberals and conversatives and you belittle the entire problem by trying to reduce it to that.  But that is the only tactic we are left with when we refuse to acknowledge and wrestle with the complicated nature of crime in our society.

Child rape is a terrible, twisted, abhorrent crime.  But I'm guessing that most of those Catholic priests guilty of it weren't voting for Democrats.  

Rather than using stuff like this as abstract, opportunistic fodder to make a political statement, we all - liberals and conservatives alike need to come together as a society and find real solutions for preventing this behavior, instead of just taking satisfaction in punishing it after the fact.

Answer 15

Question:  Why would you leave something like that up to the law anyway?

If it were my kid, the law wouldn't be involved at all, I would resolve the situation myself.

And no jury in the US would convict a parent for doing so.

Answer 16

We are talking about justice here.  

The question that everyone must ask him/herself.  

How many years in prison is the life of your loved ones worth?

How many years in prison is the rape of YOUR 2, 4, 6 year old son or daughter worth?

I can try to put myself in the situation of people who have had to go through having their children raped or a person of their household murdered....

....and apparently, the majority of people don't even want to begin to imagine how heinous a crime child rape is.

And what's more disgusting....it's always the same...these same people....especially when something like this happens to them and THEIR loved ones....they are the first ones looking for blood....when before, they couldn't care less!
