    I’m not saying a death penalty of any kind is cruel or unusual. I’m saying it would be for this.

    Give this a look?

    Most notably:

    "To measure proportionality, the court must look at several factors. These factors include:

    • The severity of the offense
    • The harshness of the penalty
    • The sentences imposed on others within the same jurisdiction
    • The sentences imposed on others in different jurisdictions."

    I think you think I’m saying one thing, when I’m communicating something less superficial. I’m not saying there cannot be a death penalty.

    I’m saying if you want that for SCOTUS, it needs to meet the above criteria.
