The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review a lower court order that requires a new sentencing hearing for Lee Boyd Malvo, one of two snipers who terrorized the Washington area in 2002.
Malvo challenged the life sentence imposed by Virginia. He claimed that it was unconstitutional because he was a juvenile — 17 years old — at the time the crimes were committed. He cited a 2012 US Supreme Court ruling that struck down mandatory life sentences for juveniles. In 2016 the Supreme Court said that ruling was retroactive, applying to sentences imposed earlier.

Supreme Court to consider whether Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo deserves new sentencingBetween Sept. 5 and Oct. 22, 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Malvo killed 10 people and wounded others in sniper attacks in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Sure, give him the death sentence and save the taxpayers the expense of supporting him for another 20 or more years. We must allow ourselves to find root cause for mass killings by guns. And accept the fact for what it is. I ask myself, why is it 90% White Males and White Supremacist emboldened, American Citizens? no

Opinion | How the Supreme Court weakened Congress on emergency declarationsTo understand how a 1983 Supreme Court decision dramatically affected the way the government works, consider what Congress had intended when it passed the National Emergencies Act. seems like a problem that should have been fixed 30 years ago, not when someone they don't like is using power they have Resolutions are meaningless jibberish until they are signed by the President, which will not happen. The basis of your whole story is false. What hasn't the Supreme Court weakened in the last 30 years? They've destroyed any chance at removing money from politics. Gerrymandering. Guns. Voting rights.
