Somalia on the Spot
The Supreme Court today struck down the death penalty for minors, which is a huge relief for me. Back when I was eight, I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
"Nino" Scalia retorted in his dissenting opinion that, "the court thus proclaims itself sole arbiter of our nation's moral standards - and in the course of discharging that awesome responsibility purports to take guidance from the views of foreign courts and legislatures." I guess he felt we should stand strong with Somalia as the only countries in the world that execute juveniles.

Yeah, Johnny Cash stole all his material from me. I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but seriously, what a no talent hack.
