Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Custody For Sexually Dangerous Prisoners

Boo.

I find it interesting that they were able to find a reason why this is within the authority of Congress to do, while not addressing any of the other claims of the people trying to get out of prison after serving a full prison sentence. They said "you're screwed for this reason, but feel free to go back to court, spend a couple hundred thousand more dollars, and try again to get freed for one of these reasons." I have called this type of decision "chickening out" before, but a lawyer might call it a "limited" decision.

I hate the idea that a person can serve their prison sentence, then not be released. I also hate the idea that a sexual predator might be released, ever. The reason I don't like this decision is because it speaks of a much broader societal problem.

Baby rapers should be hanged.
18 year-olds doing 17 year-olds should be placed on probation.
Everything in the middle should probably be a long, long, long prison sentence.

There should not be a question of letting sexually dangerous crazy people out after their terms expire. Their prison sentences should have been appropriately long in the first place, but elections have consequences. When you people elect squishy/wobbly/downright leftist Presidents of the United States, we get judges who give slaps on the wrist for hangin' offenses, and now the supreme Court has had to come behind them and clean up the ants with a sledge hammer. I say again:

Boo.
