For more than 20 years I have endeavored-indeed, I have struggled-along with a majority of this Court, to develop procedural & substantive rules that would lend more than the mere appearance of fairness to the death penalty endeavor.
I feel morally and intellectually obligated simply to concede that the death penalty experiment has failed.
The path the Court has chosen lessens us all. I dissent.

All jokes aside, his (Ankiel's) is a story of incredible perseverence and athletic ability. Astounding, really. And I can't say that any of us has been around long enough to see anything quite like it. To go from two completely different disciplines - at this level - and succeed in each is rare. I know a lot was made of the doping scandal last year (not to mention Ankiel's wilting under the hot lights of speculation), but I am somewhat surprised that either BBT or SportsCenter has not taken the opportunity to cover it more than they have in the time since last year's late season story. Simply put, Ankiel is a stud, and I hope to the heavens we're able to somehow retain his services for many years to come. Ankiel is repaying our patience and commitment to him with one wail of a season thus far."Let me lay it right on the line.
