Death penalty for Sandusky!


And for a whole lot of others. But it won't happen.  Too much money, too many people love college football more than they care about child rapists and those who protect them.

Well, and the fact that the Supreme Court would almost certainly strike down any state law that imposes the death penalty on any crime except murder.

Why? Non-rhetorical.

Wussification of our legal system by the "evolving standards" doctrine.

Also the crack down on mob violence and lynching.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That has nothing to do with the justice system. Or it shouldn't. 
PDH!

As noted in another thread, I disagree.  I don't think you could realistically claim that the actual 8th Amendment is violated by the death penalty for rape, especially when the victim is a child.

If the USSC did, I'd join you in decrying such legislation from the bench.  (When I disagree, it really is judicial activism. :P )

Aw, crap.  How did I miss that?  (Answer: by not looking it up.)

The USSC is fucking stupid.

I don't think that this issue has anything to do with college football, TBH, other than that some of the principals were employed in college football.

There are probably child rapists in fields other than college football.

I'm glad you qualified that!

Yeah, high school and pee wee football also seem like natural places to find them.  :hmm:

Just need to look at the Boy Scouts and various Churches to see child rapists and those who protect them do not exist exclusively within football.  Although I am not sure whether all of them share a love of college football.

I think it is safe to assume so.
PDH!
