The Born Idiocy

A divided U.S. Supreme Court barred the death penalty for the crime of child rape,

saying a Louisiana man's execution would violate the constitutional ban on "cruel and unusual punishment."

The justices, voting 5-4, spared Patrick Kennedy from becoming the first person since 1964 to be executed in the U.S. for a crime other than murder.

Kennedy was convicted of raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter... meanwhile...

A divided U.S. Supreme Court slashed the $2.5 billion punitive damage award against Exxon Mobil for the 1989 Valdez oil spill to $507.5 million.

The justices, voting 5-3, said the original award, which would have been increased by more than $2 billion with accrued interest,

was excessive under federal maritime law.

The Nattering One muses... $2.5 billion is excessive for a company that pollutes and ruins a biosystem for decades?

And makes in excess of $40 billion annually? And is duplicitous in oil market speculation that costs Americans $5 a gallon for its own product?

The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment for baby rapers? After dead silent repose... and with an icy stare...

Judging (no pun intended) from how these systemically anointed and politically appointed clowns in robes have cannibalized and shit on our constitution...

(Along with the paid for prostitutes that infest our Congress. The Patriot Act, Guantanamo, etc.)

perhaps this court of "born idiots" needs a "time out", to be beaten, gang sodomized and thrown into a pool of crude oil to re think their decisions.

Then again, our traitorous legislative and executive branches could use a good tar & feathering as well.
