Today, SCOTUS determined that it is "cruel and unusual" to execute a convicted child rapist.
Evidently, they don't consider it "cruel and unusual" to rape a child. The obviously don't consider it "cruel and unusual" to perform infanticide when they call it "partial birth abortion."
Scaring a child for life is okay. Killing the scum of the earth who does it to the kid is a problem for the "Fab Five" on the court.
