Because we shouldn't be doing x either?

Now you're changing your argument.

Before you were saying my proposal violated our basic judicial tenets (presumably as determined by the SCOTUS, since they are the authority on the matter), but now you're changing the argument to say it violates what you personally think our judicial tenets should be, which doesn't hold much water.

You just admitted that your initial argument is false, which is exactly the point I've been trying to make.

I can accept that argument from you from a personal standpoint (and I actually agree with you on the death penalty), but then, your only argument is that you have a different value judgment than me, which really doesn't solve anything.
