I. The current cruel and unusual punishment jurisprudence of the Supreme Court: Roper

Changed:
<
<		The Eight Amendment provides: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.” Is executing a juvenile under 18 cruel and unusual? The Supreme Court answered this question in the affirmative in Roper (2005), basing its decisions on some transcendental nonsense. Interestingly, the decision is criticized most often not for its legal reasoning, but for its use of foreign sources to support its conclusion.
