Another horrible day for America as the Machinery of Death marches forward, probably killing another innocent man. Even if Mr. Davis was not innocent of the murder he was convicted of does the United States want to be in a group of nations like the People's Republic of China, Iraq and North Korea in using such a vile form of punishment. Even Russia has abolished the death penalty.
Twenty three words was all the Supreme Court thought this case was worth. They did not want to even see what was going to be in the appeal. The nine Justices did no Justice tonight.
This is just another example of why the death penalty should be abolished in the United States. Even if the United States Supreme Court will not reconsider Gregg v. Georgia, Congress and the states should abolish this repugnant type of punishment.
