Qualified for Death

“Capital murder juries must be "death qualified," meaning anyone who fundamentally disagrees with the death penalty cannot serve. You get a jury of your peers as long as those peers all agree it's okay for the government to kill you.”  http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2014/01/no-right-answers-questioning-capital.html

If the tide of public opinion eventually turns and abolitionists are more prevalent than pro-death penalty folks on capital jury panels, will it still be constitutional to insist all jurors be death qualified?

Washington Post: Nidal Hasan convicted of Fort Hood Killings

This will be an unpopular opinion, but based on the conviction of Major Hasan, I would be opposed to giving him the death penalty. It is clear that he wants to become a martyr and I believe it would serve the interest of justice to deny him his wish.

                What we should do instead is let him spend the rest of his days in a cage and let him die as a miserable forgotten creature; one day at a time.
