Supreme Court Flunks Florida's 70 IQ Test Score Cutoff for Executions

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has a long record of overruling cruel Flori-duh rules, rulings and court decisions. (Except for that stolen 2000 Presidential election, where the Florida Supreme Court twice ruled correctly, only to be overruled by SCOTUS, still a stench in the nostrils of the Nation.)
The latest Supreme Court reversal of a cruel Florida case came only yesterday.
By vote of 5-4, SCOTUS found it cruel and unusual for Florida to set an arbitrary IQ score of 70 for executions, without regard to the margin for error in IQ tests.


Once again, Florida is the Nation's legal laughingstock, just as it was in so many Supreme Court cases, and in the New York Times, PBS Frontline and NBC News Dateline stories about the death of Michelle O'Connell.
No, guns don't kick forward when fired.
No, evidence is supposed to be collected at the crime scene and analyzed, not ignored.
No, you don't get to investigate the death of your buddy's girlfriend.
Yes, we expect recusals when there are conflicts of interest.
Yes, we expect lawmen to obey the law.
No, we reckon that Michelle O'Connell did not commit suicide.

To sick twisted hick hacks, we don't need your kind 'round here any more.
Knock it off!
Stop lying.
Stop coverups.
Stop wasting our money.
Knock it off!
Otherwise, you might wish to go find another place for your flummery, dupery and nincompoopery.
Kindly find some other place in which to aggravate, intimidate and peculate -- try some other continent, please!
Perhaps you could peculate in Peshawar?
Intimidate in Iran?
Aggravate in Afghanistan?
Or maybe those people are more enlightened than you, too.
Just about everyone else is -- don't be surprised if they show you the door!
We shall overcome!
