The fundamentals of the U.S. Constitution possibly have been shoved one step closer to irrelevance by the U.S. Supreme Court, which yesterday cited an international treaty that has not been adopted in the U.S. as support for its opinion.

Welcome back.

the case of Terrance Jamar Graham, of Jacksonville. In July 2003, he and two accomplices went to a barbecue restaurant in Jacksonville with the aim of robbing it. When the manager would not give them money, one of the youths hit him with a steel bar; Graham then fled the scene. Two months later, his father reported to police that he thought Terrance was committing burglaries with other youths.

He was arrested and charged — as an adult — with one count of burglary with an assault or battery — a first-degree felony that could have led to a maximum sentence of life. He was also charged with attempted armed robbery, a second-degree felony. He pleaded guilty to both, and was given three years on probation added to nine months in county jail.

Six months after getting out of jail, he was arrested on charges of a new felony — home-invasion robbery, and eluding police. By then, he was 17 years old. After this incident, prosecutors charged him with violating his probation for the first crime. He admitted to the eluding charge and, when asked by police, admitted other robberies. By the time his sentencing actually occurred, Terrance was 19.

The judge lectured him on his wayward life. “I don’t understand why you would be given such a great opportunity to do something with your life [a reference to the leniency on the first time] and why you would throw it away….We can’t help you any further…If I can’t do anything to help you, if I can’t do anything to get you back on the right path, then I have to start focusing on the community and trying to protect the community from your actions.” For the probation violation, the judge imposed the sentence of life without possibility of parole.

after looking at the case one has to wonder how it became a supreme court issue (unless Judges ruled in a way to insure it would be)..

he clearly should not receive have received life with out parole.. but the community needs protection from thugs..

Why not? I havent checked but possibly Fl is a 3 strikes your out.
Sorry but some of these people will NEVER change. They have no boundries and can not put thier own in place.
I have heard some who are getting out in a "couple" months talk about setting up a meth lab since some of the main ingredients are so easy to get around here. Others talk about how they are getting back in with the street gang and pick up where they left off.
Oh well atleast I dont have to worry about job security LOL

life with out parole for offenses as a teen.. (short of Murder) seems out of proportion to what other offenders get..

not saying it is right or wrong.. but after looking at the case, the teen was headed for a life of crime.. something needed to straighten him out...

the sentence of Life for a person who plead guilty of crimes he committed before reached 18..

I am all for throwing away the key.. (within reason)...

Has anybody considered that just maybe the NWO, includes the justice system too, besides banking, environmental, monetary systems?

Good or bad, people better figure out what they want and soon.

Globalization or sovereignty?

You can't have both, like some on Ranchers promote.
