From ThinkProgress:

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider whether juveniles convicted of killing someone may be locked up for life with no chance of parole. The justices will examine two cases from the South involving young killers; the Equal Justice Initiative brought both cases and says six dozen people in 18 states are under life sentences and ineligible for parole for crimes they committed at 13 or 14.

    Their brains aren’t even fully formed or mature yet. Of course, that also applies to the despicably fuckwitted GOP majority on the Court today. The frustratis seem incapable of processing this simple truth, unfortunately.

    • Couldn’t have said it any better, trashablanca.  The right-wing GOP is a disease to this country and a threat to human evolution.
