On the constitutionality of the federal death penalty

Howard Bashman has this post on the ruling from the Second Circuit vacating the decision by a district court judge that the federal death penalty is unconstitutional.

Locally, Judge Jones of the W.D. Va. in this opinion (and perhaps others) from the ongoing Church case refused to go along with District Judge Rakoff's conclusions regarding the constitutionality of the federal death penalty.
