SCOTUS:life sentence for juvenile unconstitutional

[ESF]

Breaking now...life without parole for juvenile offenders unconstitutional under eighth amendment (cruel and unusual punishment)

It was a 5/4 decision.

now just need ACA and AZ immigration

SCotUS also summarily reversed the MT campaign finance case. There goes an opportunity to revist Citizens United,

[ESF]

I'm glued to the SCOTUSblog live blog. It's like Christmas morning. Apparently Alito is reading his dissent on the juvenile cases from the bench because he's so pissed off by the majority vote. JHC.

I bet AZ will come today and ACA on Thursday.

Apparently the four justices who dissented on CU said this morning that granting review would be futile because they didn't think the other 5 would budge.

Alito is still reading his dissent. Of all the things to be high and mighty about. 8-D

Sections 3 and 4 of AZ SB1070 were invalidated.
