That is a very interesting question. I know for sure that the supreme court found this case warrented their review. On that point I totally disagree.
IMHO, the court over stepped. Not because I agree with Louisiana on the point, but because i dont believe there is a point of constitutional law that extends here.

On the law itself, there are certainly a lot of things to consider. child rape is one of the hightes for residivism. It distroys the childs life, for life. Some call it living death.

On the other hand, blood is required for blood. So I am not sure you can really do that? I dont know.

there are some points of criminal behavior that ought to be treated vastly different. the extremely violent. people convicted of first degree murder and rapists (of all kinds)

I wonder with some if it simply isnt best to completely remove them from society in general permanantly?
