By Feddie
As someone who opposes the death penalty in all instances, and who also believes that death is too good for any rapist, I obviously favor the outcome in this case. That having been said, Justice Kennedy's "reasoning," as usual, is beyond pathetic. The Court's opinion today in Kennedy v. Louisiana, as in Roper v. Simmons, is a constitutional abomination. In an nutshell, there is simply no basis in the Constitution's text, history, or structure for the Court's decision (which rests instead on the Court's own "independent judgment" and "evolving standards of decency"). It is nothing less than rule by judicial fiat.
At some point, the American people are going to have to decide whether they wish to be ruled by nine (and in many cases five) unelected philosopher kings, or whether they would rather have the most contentious issues of public policy we face as a people hashed out in the legislative arena (as was envisioned by our founders/framers).
I, for one, favor the latter.
