Evidence of religious conversion at a death penalty sentencinghearing

[Steven Jamar]

But Eugene, doesn't your solicitude for individuated, non-group focused 
jurisprudence in the area of rights trump everything for you here, like 
it has nearly always done for the S Ct in the death penalty cases?  
That is, every fact matters, and group-based analysis (one religious 
group or another) is per se not relevant?

I'm not arguing for this position, just surprised to see Eugene seem to 
take a position so at odds with his typical individual rights positions.
