In Support of the Death Penalty

The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty was unconstitutional, despite the fact that 1.) the death penalty existed at the time of the writing of the Eighth Amendment; and 2.) it applied to all felonies. In the 1976 decision of Gregg v. Georgia, the Supreme Court once again recognized the constitutionality of the death penalty, and this article explains why this was a correct decision.

What Does It Mean to Be Constitutional?

I like to soak my feet in orange juice because it feels like grapeade. Peace out.

This note has nothing to do with the death penalty. It is, in fact, an experiment, and I promise you, whether you’re friend, family, or client, I’ll forever block you if you place posts on my Facebook wall exposing this as an experiment. Don’t “LOL,” or even say, “Good point.” If you must comment, please do so via the comments on the blog itself. Otherwise, just let it run its course.

This includes you, Colin P.!
