Yeah, I remember, and I'm glad it's looking like he was wrong. But they must have known this at the time, so I still don't understand why he'd say something with confidence that wouldn't work out a week later. Was it part of the sales effort, or are ...

[pointed out by the mysterious BuzzFlash] <http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0205/articles/scalia.html> God's Justice and Ours Antonin Scalia [...] So it is no accident, I think, that the modern view that the death penalty is immoral is centered in the West.
