"There’s nothing unconstitutional about executing the innocent".

Scalia says there’s nothing unconstitutional about executing the innocent.

In light of the very real evidence that Davis could be innocent of the crime that placed him on death row, the Supreme Court today invoked a rarely used procedure giving [Troy Anthony] Davis an opportunity to challenge his conviction.

Joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in dissent, however, Justice Antonin Scalia criticized his colleagues for thinking that mere innocence is grounds to overturn a conviction: This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is "actually" innocent.

Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based on alleged "actual innocence" is constitutionally cognizable.

So in Justice Scalia’s world, the law has no problem with sending an innocent man to die.

that just goes to show the menality of this man. He has to be insane

There will be nothing unconstitutional about his execution either should it come to it . I swear some of these people don`t even think before they open their mouth
