No swiping, Swiper! Stop grabbing, Grabbers!
Justice Thomas pushes back in Graham, against his more elite brethren:
Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented from Monday's ruling. Thomas criticized the majority for imposing "its own sense of morality and retributive justice" on state lawmakers and voters who chose to give state judges the option of life-without-parole sentences.
"I am unwilling to assume that we, as members of this court, are any more capable of making such moral judgments than our fellow citizens," Thomas said.
