Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Says Executing An Innocent Man Is Not Unconstitutional

This little number comes to us via @Being Liberal and @Kelly Glover “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, who cares that they may be innocent, they are sentenced to die so kill them."
