Talk:Harmelin v. Michigan

Run-on sentence?

English is not my native language, but isn't this a "run-on sentence"?

'White also argues that Scalia's arguments against the proportionality requirement turn the foundations of the Court's capital punishment jurisprudence would rest on "quicksand."'

If so, please fix it. -- 77.7.148.119 (talk) 12:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Original research

Where does all the material for this article come from? Is all this from the decision opinions? I, personally, find it hard to believe that in so much analysis comes only from the words of the justices, and not the words of the Wikipedia editors. What say you all?

Thomas Jefferson's stance towards originalism

"I am certainly not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
