Let's review, the supreme court says you can't execute a murderer that is 17 years old, but it's ok to slaughter unborn children and starve to death a woman that cannot feed herself... 1. Death penalty where poor, indigent, and uneducated males are not afforded appropriate legal assistance and are more likely executed when innocent (as per Republican, pro death penalty, governor of Illinois). 2. Detainees in a war that Bush elected to start are killed while being tortured (23 that the military has documented - and counting). 3. Collateral damage (aka as innocent civilians killed) while waging a war based on bad intelligence (see 911 commission report). Judgement day IS getting closer.... If you are right, a lot of people should be squirming - myself included.

I have less problem with the result of not being able to execute a 17 year old murderer than I do with the issue being one for the federal government (and the USSC is part of the federal government) at all. With abortion I have a problem both with abortion being legal, and with the issue being a federal issue. As for the Shaivo case I'm ambivilant in general, and uncertain about all of the specific facts and claims of fact. Tim
