Go SCOTUS!

(OK, maybe I just like to write "SCOTUS" because it's so much like scrotum.)
Nonetheless, slowly slowly we are inching towards a little bit of sanity on the death penalty. In case you missed it, the Supreme Court decided yesterday that you just can't execute kids. Or rather, you can't execute people who committed their crimes when they were juveniles. So added with the ban on executing the retarded, it feels like a little bit of real progress.
Still, it's crazy that we're deliriously happy that we now no longer execute children. And yet, I am deliriously happy that we no longer execute children.
