"The Supreme Court Is Wrong On the Death Penalty"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"The Supreme Court Is Wrong On the Death Penalty": Today in The Wall Street Journal, Law Professor Laurence H. Tribe has an op-ed that begins, "It's not often that the U.S. Supreme Court is asked by a state and the federal government to reconsider a case it has just handed down because it missed key evidence. But that is what is happening now in Kennedy v. Louisiana."

The op-ed concludes, "The Eighth Amendment's cruel and unusual punishment clause should not be construed in a manner that puts it on a collision course with the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. The Supreme Court would do well to take that overriding consideration into account as it decides whether to revisit its seriously misinformed as well as morally misguided ruling."
