When will we get beyond this poor excuse for justice?
BTW, this guy is pretty old. If he should die or retire while Bush is in office, Dubya will get to replace him. That could be good news if a pro-life judge is installed. That could be bad news because Bush's idea of pro-life doesn't include abolishing the death penalty.

U.S. Doesn't Need Death Penalty

"CHICAGO - Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens (news - web sites) says that he believes the death penalty is constitutional, but that the country would be better off without it."

This is the point that I don't hear raised nearly often enough. Too many "good Christians" talk of the sanctity of life only in terms of abortion, and I think that inconsistency does the pro-life cause a
great disservice. I am dying to see a high-level politician in this country embrace both of these unpopular political positions: to be against both abortion and the death penalty. But unfortunately, in both cases, I sincerely wonder if anyone that far up still has that kind of moral courage.
