On Crime: Death is appropriate punishment for repeat child molesters

Angry politicians vowed to keep writing laws that condemn child rapists to death, despite a Supreme Court decision saying such punishment is unconstitutional. In Texas, Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Wednesday that most Texans believe the death penalty is "an appropriate form of punishment for repeat child molesters. Our top priority remains protecting our most precious resource -- our children." Source: Associated Press in USA Today, "Unbowed" Jun 26, 2008
