Capital Punishment

The Supreme Court issued a 7-2 plurality ruling yesterday in favor of lethal injection. I'm not surprised by the outcome; I can't decide yet if I agree or disagree with the outcome.

The Court also heard oral arguments on whether or not it would be cruel and unusual to apply capital punishment to a person who raped a child. While I think I know what the decision will be, I also think I disagree with the decision I think the Court will reach.
