This is not the blessing that some may think. Personally I believe severe offenders should receive a life sentence (and neutering for the worst) to begin with, BUT, and it is a BIG BUT, this opens the door to expanding such to other types of "dangerous" prisoners at the government's discretion without benefit of trial. This is a VERY BAD precedent, and a very scary one.

"Supreme Court Sex offenders can be held indefinitely" ..

Makes sense for sure if Kagan gets appointed.
