Could the End Be in Sight?

Thanks to Jason Rylander for leading us to Natural Causes by Richard Just in the July 24 issue of American Prospect. The article thoughtfully examines the impact the Supreme Court's recent rulings may have on the death penalty in the future--it does not predict a moratorium or aboliton, but stresses the reactive rather than proactive role the Supreme Court is likely to play.

Just concludes that the real place to wage the abolition war is in the state legislatures and with the public, where it may die a natural death.
