I want someone on the United States Supreme Court who can look back at actions that were wrong, feel a sense of injustice and make amends, even if the act happened forty or fifty years ago.

Don't call Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold "tormented" or "misunderstood." Because they weren't. They gave away lots of clues. And they totally bamboozled their parents.
