Quote by William Brennan

"One area of law more than any other besmirches the constitutional vision of human dignity...The barbaric death penalty violates our Constitution. Even the most vile murderer does not release the state from its obligation to respect dignity, for the state does not honor the victim by emulating his murderer. Capital punishment's fatal flaw is that it treats people as objects to be toyed with and discarded ... One day the Court will outlaw the death penalty. Permanently." --William Brennan, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice
