3-31-2009 Connecticut:
State Republican Senator Dan Debicella sponsored this bill, proposing the death penalty for the rape of a child under 13, and which effectively overrules Kennedy v. Louisiana.
Presenting such a bill to the legislature does not mean that the state wants "Sex Offenders Killed" as is being claimed by another website.
Such a construction of a bill, merely presented, is a misconstruction of the intent of the state towards registered sex offenders and anyone arrested for such a crime.
This kind of claim does not help in fighting legislation affecting sex offenders. Further, if anything it shows some are not able to understand bills and reduces all advocates' credibility in the eyes of legislators.

How can legislature override the US Constitution and the US Supreme Court? With that mentality, they could return slavery and trials by ordeals!
