I never again want to hear anyone defending some asinine SCOTUS decision on the basis of - well they need to consider precedence:

"Precedence, schmesidence" Sandi O'Conner.

The court has to rely on this political ephemera because only 13 years ago, in Penry v. Lynaugh, it had upheld such executions as Constitutional. Even more remarkably, the majority opinion in Penry was written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who yesterday changed her mind.
