Justice Kennedy in Roper: “Our determination that the death penalty is disproportionate punishment for offenders under 18 finds confirmation in the stark reality that the United States is the only country in the world that continues to give official sanction to the juvenile death penalty.”

Iran Press News, Nov. 16, 2004: “A 14 year old boy died on Thursday, November 11th, after having received 85 lashes; according to the ruling of the Mullah judge of the public circuit court in the town of Sanandadj he was guilty of breaking his fast during the month of Ramadan.”

Maybe now that the good justices are evolving us, we can finally abandon our primitive ways and achieve the lofty due process standards of the “international community.”

I could go on, but what’s the point?
