Juvenile Crime and Standards of Decency…

The US Supreme Court says life without parole for juveniles is “cruel and unusual punishment”--if they did not commit murder.  Four such cases are here in California.  Should children who kill have a chance for parole, too? Also, budget cuts and union negotiations at LA City Hall. And, will the US Senate get tough on Finance Reform?  With voters angry at Wall Street and incumbent politicians… maybe so.
