In our view the public interest in having finality in court proceedings could not possibly outweigh the public interest in determining whether or not the mandatory death sentence was constitutional under the Constitution.

with this kind of thinking in govt, should we be surprised how come the performance of this govt is less important than their pay, which was an outcome of their argument to protect the integrity.
With their kind of pay, what is stopping them from committing the above stupidity to protect their continuing receiving of pay.
I don’t see how one can argue with that statement. Public interest in the constitutionality of the mandatory death sentence does indeed outweigh its interest in and individual court proceeding. After all the determination of constitutionality of the mandatory death sentence will have far-reaching consequences above and beyond that of any individual court proceeding.
