Justice Kennedy (Skit)

The scene: The back of a 1984 white Chevy van parked near Stanton Park.

"As I said, when a juvenile offender commits a heinous crime, the state can exact forfeiture of some of the most basic liberties, but the state cannot extinguish his life and his potential to attain a mature understanding of his own humanity."

Bong SFX

"Dude ... so like, you can't execute somebody 'cause, like, they're not old enough to know what they did?"

Bong SFX

"No, no. My ruling clearly states that the offender has a Constitutional right to attain a mature understanding of his own humanity, or at a minimum must be afforded the opportunity to pursue that self-enlightenment."

Bong SFX

"Whoa ... how does he do that? Do you, like, have classes in prison or what?"

"No. I understand, though, that many prison facilities provide a good selection of basic cable channels."

Bong SFX

"So, like, if you're 18, do you just kinda get it? Your humanity, I mean? Like, I don't understand half of what you're saying right now."

"Just pass the bong, son."

crazy.

Glad to see you are inclined to
prove that.

Keep writing. You are good.
