Just out of curiousity, given that you both readily acknowledge the clear and unambiguous textual support for Capital punishment being permissable, what do you think of justices, sworn to uphold that document, simply disregarding that fact and substituting their own personal will in place of the unambiguous text?

Damn. I knew I should've made a bigger batch of cookies.

As far as the rest, I'd have to see an example of what you're talking about to make sure that I could agree that the Justices were substituting their own personal will. Reading the decisions gives me a better insight into things that I'm not an expert.
