I gave an earlier criticism of O'Connors jurisprudence last week.
Now here is (*sigh*) another reason to put O'Connor on my dump list.
She is certainly not the only Justice with these views. That's the real unfortunate part.
Do I really need to explain why I have a problem with international jurisprudence in Constitutional interpretations?...I should think it would be self-evident, but I am open to having to explain the obvious if I have enough time and if there is sufficient demand for it.

Posted by: online soma at November 25, 2004 01:29 AM (Permalink)The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld two of the most popular tough-on-crime laws of the 1990s: California's three-strikes law that sends repeat offenders to prison for life and Megan's laws, which alert the public to sex offenders who have been released from prison.
Career criminals and sex offenders pose special dangers, the high court said, and the government is entitled to take extraordinary measures to protect the public from them.
The highly publicized murders of two young girls -- Polly Klaas in California and Megan Kanka in New Jersey -- outraged the public and triggered the wave of new state laws.
The notion that criminals could be rehabilitated, and past crimes forgiven, was swept aside in favor of harsher measures.
The Klaas murder led to the much-copied California law that denies parole to repeat offenders, while the Kanka slaying gave parents and the general public a new right to learn of sex offenders who may have moved into their neighborhoods.
i think O' Connor is pretty cool.
she was cool as a child,teen,and adult
her job rocks,and that's all i have 2 say.
