Originally posted by PDXSVT: do you think Scalia is here saying that even when NEW DNA evidence could prove after a conviction that a guy on death row is really innocent, he still has NO right to have his death sentance reconsidered? From Herrera v. Collins, 506 US 390 (1993):
I guess that's what it means to be a strict contstructionist! DNA is not evidence in the constitution.

Thomas alway concurs with Scalia, like his little beotch.
