More On SCOTUS Rulings

D.C. residents will be able to own hand guns now. Chicago will follow soon. Emperor For Life Daley is having conniptions.

The Supremes said that it is unconstitutional to put child rapists to death. Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, where the case originated, signed a bill allowing/requiring castration of the offenders.

It “provides that on a first conviction of aggravated rape, forcible rape, second degree sexual battery, aggravated incest, molestation of a juvenile when the victim is under the age of 13, [b]or an aggravated crime against nature[/b], the court may sentence the offender to undergo chemical castration. On a second conviction of the above listed crimes, the court is required to sentence the offender to undergo chemical castration.”

That alone should mean this law won't stand muster. What exactly is a "crime against nature?"

But I really like this even more:

Of course, the Supremes court easily strike down this law on the same grounds as they did capital punishment, given that they have arrogated to themselves the sole power to decide what constitutes “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Um, no. The U.S. Constitution did that.
