Kennedy v. Louisiana continued

This case is rich in entertainment. My heading on the last post seems like something from the Onion, but it's real! The petitioner (rapist) is actually Patrick Kennedy, but the opinion is also Kennedy (justice Anthony Kennedy) v. Louisiana.

Silliness aside, Justice Alito does a good job of rebutting the marjority's nonsense. So if you can't slog through Kennedy's opinion, don't quit. Read Alito's.
